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.

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

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.
