Best over-ear headphones you've bought that actually lived up to the hype?

I finally got a decent bonus from work and was planning to treat myself to a good pair of headphones

the problem is every model i look at seems to have a fan club and a hate club at the same time lol. some people care about sound quality, others only talk about ANC, comfort, battery life, app features... and now i'm more confused than when i started

i'll mostly be using them for music, flights, and working from coffee shops a few times a week

for people who have owned a few pairs over the years, which over-ear headphones genuinely lived up to the hype?

Why I choose the AiAiAi Tracks headband

Just a raw recording of a video call I held in 2024 with a factory of headphone parts on Alibaba. They made similar spring stee headbands.

Nowadays available on AliExpress and Ebay. See my previous posts on the AiAiAi Tracks headband. I collected 25 spring steel headbands harvested from old stock Jivo Snap Caps headphones.

The video shows how this stupid simple desgn gives endless and unique Koss powered headphones:)

How to replace overhead/side cable on DT770?

I'll need to buy a soldering iron but I'm trying to fix this wire, it's the one that connects the two drivers. Does anyone know what kind of wire I need to buy? I saw someone on youtube say you can just use generic audio cable, is that true or should I buy a replacement cable specifically for this model?

Also is this an easy fix for someone that has never soldered before?
