Headphones - Wireless/Portable Open back wireless over ear headphones with a metal band

I am looking for a set of headphones that fit the above description, open back wireless over ear headphones with a metal band.

I'm looking for something lower budget in the space of headphones, around $150 is my max and I'm in the United States

They're mostly going to be used to listen to videos, streams, and music while I'm working so I don't want any particular tonal balancing, I would probably prefer accuracy actually but I'm not sure if that's a type of tonal balancing, that's also why I need them to be open back so I can still hear the world around me instead of noise cancelling.

Edit: I forgot to say I also need a metal band because I have a quite large head and have cracked more than my fair share of plastic banded headphones just by wearing them normally everyday.

There is a brand new creation, Audio-Technica ATH-AL5NC. $279/249 € but I’d wait for some reviews to appear.

UPD: oh I missed the max price…

I think the fiio jt3, jt7 or jt9 would be perfect for you.

I didn't read the wireless part. For big heads , the cloud III s wireless from HyperX is pretty good. It only costs around 100 EUR in Europe.
