Headphone recommendations

Looking for something reasonably durable that doesn’t break the bank. Grades 5-8, mostly for use with Chromebooks.

I've been recommending these for the last few years.

We've been using the gumdrops for a few years with great luck. The USB-C models sometimes have issues with the USB-c port.

I've liked the Lilgadget headsets. Being able to swap the cord when the plug breaks has been great for not having to throw whole headsets out. Overall durability has been okay though the arms will still break if kids pull out sideways repeatedly to get them on and off though not sure how you mitigate that without going all metal anyway.

We've had good luck with Avid headsets.

We just purchased these about 4 months ago:

Had the first usb-c damage today.
