They fell off my head and onto the floor and the plastic at the hinges busted. So now they’re flopping all over the place, but it’s still sort of fits my head, but not tightly. It’s a darn shame cause my previous pair lasted me like five years this pair last all of three months. So anyways, I’m in the market for a new pair. Is there any headphones that have the controls on the left cup and any recommendations are appreciated.

Both hinges broke from a fall? What brand are they from?

Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 or /r/HeadphoneAdvice

Focal Bathys. Does everything better and you’ll never need another headphone for a year or two. You never mentioned price

For a year or two? Is that supposed to be a long time lol?

Long enough to last you till the next best Bluetooth pair you will upgrade to LOL! He said any recommendations so I thought I’d list what’s considered the best by many here.

Speaking of best, I’m eyeing at that new Noble Audio Fokus Prestige TWS ($600!!!), I can’t say for certain that thing will last at least as long as a pair of AirPods given my Falcon Pros needed to be replaced every year so I turned it down as it had one year only of warranty. No IP water protection or anything, basically a pair of resolving IEMs with batteries.
