wireless headphone that dont kill ur ears after few hours

im looking for bt heaphones that dont kill your ears, it seems all of the noise cancelling leather padding types are super tight and kill your ears. Im tired of buying 100s $ headphones and keep running into this same friggin problem. You would think these dam headphone makers could make a decent headphone that doesnt kill the ears, i literally worry if i might get cauliflower ears if i keep wearing them, man are they painful.

Any headphone that dont have this problem with a respectable battery life? I know theres bose 700 model headphones that people say are good but im not looking to spend 300$, i could care less about bass or any of that other crap i just need comfort.

Sounds like you need over-ear headphones and not on-ear.
Over-ear is for example, like Sony WH-1000XM4, the cups go all around your ears, and your actual ear is not being pressed by the headphones. I find these comfortable for extended use, the only downside is your ears can get sweaty since they are closed in on all sides.
On-ear is for example, like Sony WH-CH510 ... you can see how small the cups are and they will be sitting on and pressing your ears, which could cause pain after extended use.

I bought $30 blue-tooth in-ear headphones 4 years ago that work perfectly fine...I don't get people who spend so much money on headphones.

People like nice things. Not a hard concept to grasp.

You get what you pay for. There's a reason why people keep buying the Bose noise-cancelling headphones for around $300 year after year.

I wear at headset a lot at work although I usually take it off if I am not on the phone. All tallied up, I would estimate that wear the headset probably 4-5 hours each day. The brand appears to be Logi and I cannot tell you anything about as I got it at work (we use soft phone) except that it's very comfortable. And also very good at cancelling noise.

Are you using headphones that are ON-EAR? Over-ear headphones don't hurt your ears because they don't actually touch your ears.

Once you are looking at OVER-EAR headphones, some of them are better than others because they might have less clamping force, better headbands, and nicer softer earcups. Bose is great for that, they are very comfortable. That alone is worth the premium.

It's a weird thing to say. I'm happy with XYZ therefore everybody else should be.

And it kind of implies that spending more won't get you something that's (a lot) better quality (and therefore a lot more enjoyable), which is definitely not the case with $30 BT headphones.

I'm don't even think that you have to spend a lot to get great headphones, but there are definitely great headphones to be had which are still affordable.

First of all, what is it that hurts?
Is it your whole head due to pressure of the headband?
Is it your ears due to small cups?
Is it in-ear, and it hurts your ear canals?

I find for over the ear, I love my Bose. Light, not too clamping and ear cups are big enough.

In-ear, I cannot find anything that doesn't kill my ears after 30 min. I have tiny ear canals.

I've been using Airshokz for a while now. Nothing in or on the ears and I find them super comfy
