Durable wired headphones

Location: Italy (europe)

Budget: 100 Euros

Hi. I've been looking for a durable pair of wired over ear headphones for gaming and general purpose. Both open back and closed back are an option.

The lack of a microphone on them is not a deal breaker, but they must have a removable wire (and removable microphone if they have one, so if it breaks it can be replaced) and be durable, do i don't have to worry about them breaking if they fall or if someone hits my bag while traveling (will probably still get a hard case).
Don't really care if the headphones are "designed" for gaming or music, as long as there is any hope that they will last me like 6+ years without needing perfect conditions and impeccable care.

Worth noting that i live on an island, so humidity is not kind.

I've already looked around a bit myself and 2 of the most promising options ive found are a pair of akg k240 (not sure what's the difference between the mk1 and mk2), as well as Hyperx cloud alpha wired, which i've noticed often discounted to just 50 euros and have read some praises about their aluminum body, but i'm not sure if there are better options in my price range.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion. Have a nice day everyone :D

Tozo nc20 vs Earfun air pro 4i

My current earbuds are getting to the point where the battery has deteriorated to be annoyingly short, the and capabilities are getting weaker, and the hull is disassembling and i have to keep it together with transparent tape, so i feel its time to change them, before the battery goes boom in my ear. I've been looking around for a solid 2 weeks, and manage to narrow down the choices for a replacement to 2 units.

  1. Tozo nc20

  2. Earfun air pro 4i

Since my budget is only 50 euros (italy) , i'm gonna wait for a sale, but i've seen both of the units reaching that price (or slightly above, which is fine for me), so i'm relatively confident that they will come down in price in a reasonable amount of time.

The main 2 things that are more relevant then others for me for tws earbuds are battery life (so even when battery degrades, after a year they will still have a usable charge) and anc, and both of these seem to have both that are good. Mics for calls are not really that important, and sound can always be touched with eq to make it more pleasant so im fairly confident they will sound good regardless.

Which one of the 2 would be better? Or alternatively, are there better options?

Thanks in advance for answering. Hope your next 24 hours are pleasant.
