Beyer dt 770. Very tough. My mains are those, grado rs2, and senn hd595. Some sony md7506 but I hate the sound on them.

> You can hardly find wired headphones now. When you do they are junk. I want a sturdy headphone Shop where the musicians shop.

Recording musicians use them for monitoring. Bluetooth has too much latency when you are trying to keep your groove in the pocket. I'm finding lots of great 10-15 yo used recording gear/tech that was originally $200+, going for cheap, like less than $50, because it doesn't have Bluetooth, which you don't want with recording gear anyway.

Go to where the audiophiles are. There are plenty of headphones and IEMs (earbuds) under $50 (and even $25) that sound fantastic and sound better than $200 dollar options out there. My favs that I actually tried are the MOONDROP Chu 2 $23, Koss KSC75 $20, and the Sennheiser HD 600 (which I got on eBay for like $250). Check out the audiophile subreddit, there are plenty of people who have made ranking lists.

The Sony XM3 and other headphones in the series are a great option since you don't have to choose, they have a headphone jack so you can go wired if you want. Same thing with Shure Aonic 50s.

By wired do you mean exclusively RCA or do you count usb as well? Both pair of my Sennheisers work via USB if you plug it in.
