Currently I have two sets of headphones used for different purposes.

The first are Skullcandy S21KW. I use these for listening to music and podcasts over bluetooth on my phone. The problem is that this model does not have a microphone so I can not use them for phone calls. That makes life rather difficult.

The second set are Sennheiser HD202. I use these for recording my radio programmes. The problem with these is that the leatherette/plastic coating on the headband and on the earpads is rotting and wearing them causes me to end up with little black specks all over my ears, head, and neck.

A replacement for either of them would be much appreciated. I could then, either listen to music and podcasts and answer the phone, and/or record my radio programmes without the fear of the black specks.

I've got some AKG K52's. Pretty cheap, but they sound nice. Massive cord though! I use them mostly for music and podcasts.

Brend:

Currently have the Sennheiser 4.50BTNC. I use it all the time for whatever purpose - music/podcasts on the phone, movies when in bed and wifey doesn't want to watch, teams meetings, etc.

And now with pic ... showing some running repairs

I use the Massdrop Sennheiser HD 6xx Headphones for my daily desktop use, plugged into a Asus Xonar Essence STX PCI audio card. I listen to music on Deezer and most videos via these headphones. I got them around 2016 from the US online store. They dont have a microphone, so I have a separate Logitech USB headset for work conferencing, plugged in to the PC at the same time. I just have to remember to switch the input each time I use each.

I own a pair of very basic and cheap Origaudio Beebop over-the-ear wireless headphones that I use for listening to music with my phone. I would really love to finally own a decent pair of headphones!

I have the standard Apple corded earphones that came with older iPhones. I watch Netflix, Youtube, listen to music, video call, pretty much everything with them.

Prefer over-ear headphones but my last set’s cord gave out and haven’t had the spare cash to get another. Any of these models would be awesome though, I’ve never owned wireless/bluetooth headphones/earphones.

I have the Sony Sony WIC310B Wireless In-ear Headphones.

I use them to listen to music on my iPod nano when I go for my daily walks. It would be great to have some truly wireless earbuds!

I have at least 2 sets of earphones: one that came with my smartphone to tune into the built-in FM radio, and another conventional one on my PC to avoid noise-polluting the neighbours.

I mostly use headphones for listening to music while I'm working on my computer.

I had a fairly nice pair of wired ones, and then stood up one day and tried to walk off with the still around my neck.

Half-strangled myself and the headphones shot off across the room to smash into bits.

So the picture is what the Technics headphones will replace.

I'm hoping the Technics will be a little more comfortable and the sound will be a little less tinny!

I have various headphones with different tasks which is frustrating.

Bose Noise cancelling for flying
Jabra wireless for work calls
JBL wireless for listening to music at home
AirPod for taking calls.

Love a headphone set that can be used to replace the above.

Logitech H390, currently use for office work - video calls etc. Blue Tooth headphones would be used a lot more than the cable pones- listening to music and movies / TV at night (if I could keep my wife from stealing them )
