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

So I personally have the skull candy HESH ANC. These are technically BT headphones but they do have a 3.5 mm cord that they can be used as standard wired headphones. As long as he doesn’t need the microphone he doesn’t even need to charge them to work in wired mode. I have Phonak RIC and these fit over my ears and aids and I get no feedback. They are also a few years old so I’m sure the price has dropped.

Skullcandy hesh ANC. I feel comfortable with them and they sound good. But I only use them when I don't want to make any noise so, rarely

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 use SkullCandy’s Hesh ANC, been using from last 3 years and sound is awesome. Just have to change the pads every year.
