Artic pro wireless. Worth the $300+ pricetag. Comes with 2x batteries and 1 can be charged in the station. Range is a good 2x bluetooth runs on 2.4g or bluetooth. Sound is amazing

but what about the over-the-ear design.
does it get too hot? I have B&O Bioplay H9i's and after an hour of wearing them my ears get too warm. I originally bought those specifically for the winter commute.

Anyone who spends $300 on a pair of gaming headphones has no money in the bank

Going in the complete opposite direction of Galach, I got a gift of <$50 over-the-ear Trekz Titanium headphones from Aftershokz. I'm sure the sound quality isn't as good, but it's good enough for me to listen to music and not notice any issues (YMMV).

I have used them with the computer, but mainly I use them when running, cooking, etc. Even so, I can have them on without issue while running in the heat, or cooking for hours in a hot kitchen, so I imagine they'd be comfortable for extended computer use.

My point is not that you should go out and buy these specific headphones though (as they're over-the-ear): it's more that if you're not especially particular about your sound quality, any pair of reasonably priced Bluetooth headphones on Amazon with decent reviews will probably work great for you ... and save you $250.

(Always use fake spot to check for fake reviews though!)

Loramin, those are closer to what I am looking for. The price isn't a big deal to me, the function, music quality, battery life etc. Looking for a good product.

Snortles while I appreciate you dropping a selfie into this form, you should probably go to a doctor. It looks like the left side of your face is drooping from the many strokes you've had.

Could be: we actually don't have enough long term studies to know. But to the best of our knowledge currently it's safe.
