Plugfones Liberate 2.0

I've had these for two summers now and can confirm they can withstand hours and hours of use and abuse while I'm doing machine work in the garden. Bumpin' bass, actual all day battery life, up to 29dB of noise reduction.

Very impressed with these for background music and handsfree calls when I'm outside. Prescription lenses can also be swapped in if you need glasses to see better, they also come in a "square" design.

The new gold standard for anyone wanting a full-size, closed back headphone that is impeccably crafted, sounds outstanding and won't break the bank. Cable is a bit long for portable listening but they do sell a short one

If you have an iPhone, honestly just buy these. They'll do the best job for the price with an Apple device. if you want to go nuts instead, get the Hifiman Svanar Wireless for 4x the price.

Wore these throughout our 2024 eurotrip. They have a decent helping of bass and almost all-day battery. I recommend them if you like mountain biking with music on.

The best no-frills model for Android users (that I've tried) Seriously, the only feature these have is that they sound good with everything, but that's a good enough feature that I can daily drive these and not feel FOMO
