Looking for a good quality pair of over ear headphones to listen to music and podcasts on my bus and train home. I’ve got a big ass head so something adjustable and preferably Bluetooth. My budget is $150 or so.

I know nobody cares and everything’s just ewaste in 1-5 years but consider getting something with a battery that’s possible to replace if you do go bluetooth (or go wired). The electronics can fail randomly, sure, but a battery will fail, predictably.
Look it up, if it involves unsticking a lot of glue, tons of plastic clips, etc. or worse there’s no documented way to do it, then you’re buying future landfill material. If you can take it apart with screws and replace the battery or other parts, or use it in wired mode without the battery, then it has a chance of lasting.
The only wired headphones I’ve had to toss in the past… idk 8-10 years? were a pair of earbuds where the wires fell apart repeatedly, and some cheapy all-plastic sennheisers where the plastic hinge failed beyond all possibility of repair. all the other ones either have had no problems or have been able to be fixed pretty easily. I’ve got soviet era headphones, Sony monitors, Koss’s, etc. that all still work and the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was replace a plug.
