Still waiting for mine to come, please let this be the one. It has to be, if it isn't I am completely out of options.

Man it sucks that people can't get into headphones like they do IEM's. I just don't see the appeal.

My beats studio 3 wireless headphones are starting to crap out on me after a few years of use and I was looking to move to a different kind, my last three pairs were all beats studio 3 wireless headphones, not really sure what I wanna go with, I'm willing to go up to 400$, preferably over ear ones, and I wanted to ask if you guys had some recommendations for that
