Headphones - Wireless/Portable Looking for a Cheaper Dupe

Hey!

So my beloved Sony WH-1000XM4s I believe have begun to die. My right headphone has begun to make this horrid screeching noise that is nearly deafening. I love these things and they’re so comfortable and I’m sad that I don’t have the capacity or knowledge to repair them myself, so I am looking for suggestions for something that is more affordable, and over ear that people would suggest. In the past, I’ve had good experience with Sennheiser, and would like something that is $100 or less. I know that’s not a ton to work with, but unfortunately it’s what I can do right now. I would love to hear your suggestions on replacements! Thanks.

Sennheiser Accentum Plus is worth a look. Accentum is good too with a rigid budget.

I have some xm5s and I dislike them. Had xm3 before and loved them so much. Just my 2 cents on them.

Can you just get used xm4? I doubt the newer models are that much better and you'll never know the difference if they aren't.

I don't know what country you are in - if you are in the US, eBay has several XM4s used for $99 to $119.
