I use these for all my devices. I definitely remember picking them up for $50 at Wal-Mart, but idk. https://www.amazon.com/Skullcandy-Cancelling-Headphones-Microphone-Bluetooth/dp/B0CBLKS51N It might have been eBay refurbished though. They're $50 on there. https://ebay.us/m/JDPlFj
Really late but I was quite disappointed in the sound and noise cancelling. I owned a pair of Skullcandy Hesh ANCs a couple years ago and they sounded richer (albeit with a crap ton of bass) and the ANC was really good. The noise cancelling and fit was never too good for me with the 720ns and the sound was quite disappointing. However, I just bought the ult wears today and man these things are FANTASTIC.Β
I too started out with Hesh and since then I've owned a few pairs of Crusher Evos and just now updated to the 540s. I love Skullcandy.

Second this. I tried the 540s but returned them. I ended up getting Wicked Cushions for my anc2s and it sounds amazing
Skullcandy crusher or Hesh. Very good build quality ,sound , durabilityΒ
My brother gave me a pair of his old headphones. They are the skullcandy hesh over ear headphones. These are about 10 years old now and still going very strong.
My Skullcandy Hesh were a pleasant surprise. After 12 years, I finally broke the headband, but they hold a charge like the day I bought them and are only on their second set of earpads. Not sure how the current model holds up but, but I wouldn't hesitate to give them a try if I were in the market for new headphones (I currently am preferring my bone conduction headphones and just DIYed a repair for the Hesh for now)
Just find yourself some over the ear headphones that are closed back. Basically they cover your ears and the sound from what you're listening to can only go into your ears. Look into skullcandy hesh they even have an aux port for when your battery dies and they just act like regular headphones.
First off, one of the worst topics to seek advice on, among others, is headphones. Every self-appointed audiophile sits and waits for a golden opportunity like this to show the world just how knowledgeable he/she is. The cascade of techno-babbel that permeates every headphone thread, on any site anywhere, is mind numbing. I share your appreciation for deep bass in music, and mine also includes certain jet engines. Over the years, I've tried to improve whatever headphone I had at the time, by upgrading. I started off with cheap headphones, and honestly, they probably sounded good enough at the time. Somebody suggested that I give the Hesh Skullcandys a try. Hearing them for the first time immediately made me wonder how I endured all the crappy predecesors. Next, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x studio monitors. I was impressed again, and stayed so until about 2 months ago when I got the HIFIMAN Edition XS Full-size (and they mean it!) Over the ear Open Back Planar Magnetic, blah blah blah. I put them on, and they are huge, massive in size, not necessarily in weight, and again I was very impressed with the purchase, so I kept them. Being worried about having to keep something you hate is wasted energy. If you can, go to a store where you can try some different models out. Go to Target or PC Richards where they actually have demo models. Shop around for awhile, and, make a decision! You actually can return headphones for a refund or exchange if not satisfied. The only headphone advice you need, comes from you. And only you. If you like em, then that's all the advice you need. And one more rant, if I may. Those self-proclaimed audiophile pencil necked geeks think so highly of themselves that they actually consider using any kind of EQ on the listening end to be a sin! Their reason? "Well, you're not hearing it the way it was mastered!" I say, "You're exactly right". If I want to crank the bass EQ while listening to Queen, Dua Lipa, Maroon 5, or a jet aircraft video, I'm gonna do it with EQ. And I'm gonna do it so well it makes my eyes bleed. My rig for all things music: Lenovo Legion 5 Desktop ->USB Topping D10s DAC ->Schitt Audio Magni headphone amp -> HIFIMAN Edition XS Full Size Open back...(well, you that already).
I have skull candy ANC over the ear headphones. Cost $100 and have lasted 5 years. Not high end, not low end.
