The most durable headphones I've ever owned are Sennheiser HD 25 and made from plastic and super light. It was ~£100, sounds amazing and lasted me 15 years of being dragged to clubs, house parties and getting a fair beating. Only this year have I replaced them and that was only because I lost my old pair in a recent house move and figured "it's been 15 years, there's no shame in buying a new pair even though the old pair might turn up in a random box later".

However those cans don't have bluetooth, noise cancelling, a microphone nor adaptive EQing. They're literally just a high quality speaker, headband and copper wiring.

HD 25s are amazing, especially because every part is replaceable and can be easily ordered.

serious question, why would you take headphones to clubs and house parties?

Sounds like OP might be a DJ -- they usually wear headphones while mixing so they can actually hear the music over the noise of a party or club.

... and to hear different music than what is playing (cueing the next track, or effects).

To DJ at them.

Because clubs and house parties are loud and play awful music? (Yeah, I know he was the DJ)

He was probably the DJ.
