  • I have the 660s, but you can find the 6xx’s new or used in your price range. The body is plastic, but it holds up really well. I have dropped mine about a dozen times on a hardwood floor and they look brand new. These are not pocketable though. Someone might have a better recommendation for that need/want. The 500 range does not have a detachable cable to my knowledge, but otherwise are nice headphones as well.

    As an alternative to the 1000xm3’s, you can check out the Bose 700’s. I gave my pair to my other kid and she has been using hers for a long time without issues. Battery is always going to be the limiting factor for BT headphones.

    That’s difficult to recommend. If wired were okay, I would say go with a pair of Sennheisers. They make replacement parts for purchase and some models have removable cables. I’ve had a set of Sony 1000m3’s that i gave to my kid and they have help up well for several years. We had to replace the pads once, and the batt doesn’t last as long as it used to, but they aren’t bad. They aren’t $200 though.





  • Ideally, you can return it from where you purchased it.

    Wait, you said stopped working after you opened it? Why did you open it to begin with?

    Nintendo returns are a bit of a hassle but doable, but if they can’t guarantee a 1-1 replacement, you might be on the hook for a swap (I don’t know what this takes to do or feasibility of it), or, may be sell the replacement and use the money to buy an exact replacement online?

    I can’t think of any other avenues to get you whole. I love the Switch, but joy-cons are trash.
