Sony - WH-H900N (h.ear on 2 Wireless NC)

I've had mine 3 years and have no issues w padding or hinges and I use them every night bc my wife works nights so when she isn't at work she stays up much later than I do. Also you can replace both hinges and padding for less money than buying a new pair. I have a pair of WH-H900N for the last ~ decade and other than the padding needing replaces Ive never had an issue and this pair traveled all over the world with me, until I got my 4's.

Used many headphone including Sennheiser, Bose, Audio Technica etc but my go to for long mobile daily use is Sony WH-H900N. They are big but are very comfortable as they don't touch my big ears, don't overheat my ears or head, and sound great. The noise cancelling is very good and the swipe controls work great. They don't make them anymore but you can still find them on ebay for \~$40. The ear muffs can be replaced and after market ones are on ebay and amazon.

Bought some Sony WH900n about 8 years ago cause a coworker had a pair and loved them.  They're really good and still going strong with almost daily use... the ear pads need replacing every few years.

5 years and counting on my Sony WH900N's that have been used daily for work from home (10-15+ hours of calls weekly). Still going strong. The noise cancelling isn't Bose level, but perfectly acceptable. When you say your headphones are breaking, is it the battery or they are physically falling apart? For battery, finding something that charges them slowly is better for battery health. A case is a must, too

Bought some Sony WH-900s for $120 5 years ago and they’re quite good, I travel with them regularly and they haven’t given me any issues, noise canceling works pretty well. Not an audiophile so I can’t speak to sound quality really but they bump and sound good to me, I’m satisfied with the purchase.
