Really good heaphones. It's been years since I bought them and I'm still amazed almost daily just how good music can sound.

I'll admit that the cost upfront was not exactly cheap, but if you divide the price by the useful lifespan (my previous headphones lasted for 8 years) it becomes a no-brainer.

Sony WH-1000XM2, M3 and (I assume) M4 are some of the best and most comfortable headphones I've ever owned. My current M3s are going on 3 years old and plan on getting M4s when it kicks the bucket.

The only pair I've loved more were Sony MDR-XB500. I would kill for them to come back and especially in wireless.

I am not an audio snob but these sound great and most importantly, are extremely comfortable for long periods.

Or the good enough classic Sony 7506s.

Studio mainstay of the last 30+ years. Comfy as hell. Accurate enough, if flattering. <$100. I have a 20 year old pair that got a few new sets of earpads but sound as good as day one.
