Looking for a good quality pair of over ear headphones to listen to music and podcasts on my bus and train home. I've got a big ass head so something adjustable and preferably Bluetooth. My budget is $150 or so.

I also recommend Sony WH-1000XM4/M5 with caveats. I have the WF-1000XM4 earbuds and they work well with good noise cancellation, but Sony released a firmware update which fucked up a lot of people’s devices by shorting their batteries. People opened up their WFs and those with newer batches realized their batteries are different from the older batches; the newer batteries require a slightly higher voltage to charge, and those seem to be unaffected by the new updates while the older ones got shorted. My earbuds got fucked up abruptly after 2 years of no problems. I’m in the process of changing out the battery; if that don’t work I’m finessing Amazon. I got mine barely used for like $160 like in 2020
Sennheiser HD600 is a certified classic and good intro level audiophile-tier headphones. These are wired, but there are bluetooth amps so you can use your phone freely. Although you probably won’t be using these on the go. It’s more of a home listening pair.
I also recommend the XM4s. Great noise cancellation, have a nice carrying case, can be used wired, and whenever they go on sale, they can probably be had for about $150 new. Haven’t really heard anything that’d make the XM5s worth paying extra for.
