I have Sephia SX-16 headphones.

I have mentioned the problems in another thread. I thought them because they were inexpensive and it turned out that the sound on them is great - loud and they even vibrate with explosions or the steps of the AT-ATs on Rogue One. I would describe it as being like a sub woofer.

However I have been through multiple pairs of ten in the last two years as they only last a couple of months - I don’t know if it is because they are cheap or becasue im mishandling them.

So I’m looking for a more sturdy set with the same kind of sound but I have no way to test before I buy and I cannot afford to go over €150 and they must be Bluetooth.

It's always a good idea to save money and get a decent pair rather than shell out for cheap Chinese mass produced crap that you find on Amazon. It works out better in the long run.

I'd recommend the below for your price range.

I agree and the Sephia’s were just bought until I had a chance to look into better but they sound was great on them.

A complaint via Amazon got me a replacement, when those broke another replacement.

I didn’t want to give up the good sound and was too busy at the time to go to any shops. The thing just snowballed into 8 headphones.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have also found these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-WH-XB700-Headphones-optimised-assistant-Blue/dp/B07PCDR9W5

I cannot figure out if they would work in AppleTV without the Sony Connect app. And whether your suggestion also need that app.

I'm not familiar with AppleTV so can't help you there. You can use the one's i linked with or without the Sony App.
The app allows you to tailor the sound to your liking so is good to have.

Do the app adjustments only take affect on the device that the app is installed on?

Thank you for confirming that.
