So almost 2 years ago I asked about upgrading my plantronics backbeat pro 2’s and people suggested I hold them until the wheels fall off

Well, now the wheels are falling off. Headband is coming apart.
What would be a modern day upgrade you’d recommend?
Based on what I’ve seen… It would seem the momentum 4 (I’ve seen them regularly under 200 usd new on reseller sites) or momentum 5 from sennheiser would be a good choice but curious to know if this community has a different or better recommendation.


I like Crinacle’s headphone ranking list, check it out. If it’s not on here, probably not good
https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/
The site is super cool and full of info, but I’ve never agreed with Crinacle’s list at all. Has some really weird picks/ratings that no person I have ever met would agree with, even when so many of the choices weren’t quite outdated. For example, the two highest rated Beyerdynamic headphones are the two usually poorest rated and least liked headphones in their tier (the t70 and DT 990 pro). There is a bunch of choices like that on here.
It can still be a cool site for getting a feel for the overall sound of a headphone and getting ideas. The graphs are cool too as long as you don’t get too crazy about them. Also, don’t even think about using the prices on there, they are long out of date and were only accurate at the time of his review.
