Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

First, I need to discover my best options. Since we all love RP, recommendations are most welcome! Not a fan of big bass. Can spend some money if they are going to be comfortable for long-term listening. Thanks

is not bass usually the weakest point of small speakers like headphones?
does your sources have an equalizer?
there are tons on amazon to choose from
i was gifted a pair under a hundred bucks that work with tv, computer and practically everything else
avantree i think was the brand
good luck

thanks, this looks tempting! That link goes to "renewed" headphones. Would I be taking my chances?

I guess they aren't available under that name anymore. There must be a current iteration that goes by another name but I didn't search.
I got mine used because I couldn't pass on the price and I've been really happy with them for the past year or so. If you search that sony
vs xxx on youtube and see what the experts compare it to, you'll likely come across all kinds of fantastic finds. These work so well with
bluetooth but I can plug them into my Roku remote to listen to the TV quietly when my roommate is on a rampage. Active sound cancellation
mode is amazing, too.

FWIW the site is owned by the New York Times.

HAPPY NEW YEARð If you are especially fond of the headphones you have, you can get a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter. Wireless headphones are fun though.
