Help with finding headphones WITHOUT Noise cancellation, and WITHOUT a mic that are actually going to keep working after a month
So basically I have recently re-found my love for gaming, and would like to do more of it. I have some older games adapted for my PC, and I want to get some headphones so that I'm not being rude to the people around me and disturbing them by playing my games out loud. I have 2 kids under 2, and so I need headphones that are NOT noise cancelling because I need to be able to hear what they're doing. I don't want my headphones to keep me lost in the game. I prefer to not have a mic on the headphones because I already have a really nice mic, and I already have 3 mic options on my computer and don't need another one cluttering up my screen (I have a thing about too much visual/background clutter). I am having a hard time finding headphones that will last- anything I've found so far that isn't noise cancelling and doesn't have a mic has awful reviews from anyone who's had them about a month or more, due to the speakers in the headphones no longer working.
I will likely wear the headphones on only one ear at a time to help me hear, but I do not want any extra noise cancelling hardware/software or ANC or anything like that. I am aware that headphones will muffle outside noise simply because of the foam/fabric they have, that's fine.
What I DO want:
- Comfort is really important to me, I have many ear piercings but earbuds really hurt my ears
- Wireless
- Sturdy (I want these to last at least a few years)
- Preferably in light pink or white, but not a necessity
What they Must-NOT have:
- Noise cancellation
- Mic (I'm willing to be a bit flexible about it having a mic if the mic isn't bulky)
Budget:
- Ideally around $30-$40 (I feel this isn't unreasonable since I'm looking for less hardware than the average user, but clearly I've been having issues finding things)
- Maximum I can spend $50-$60 but if I'm going to spend that much they REALLY better last me several years of wear.
Side note- I am eventually wanting to do some (casual) streaming on Twitch if that informs your suggestions at all.
Thank you Thank you for any suggestions! ❤️
