Some generic $30 pair of over the ear bluetooth headphones that quite frankly sound amazing for being so cheap.
Had to go look them up. On Amazon for $33 now: Zero-One Audio Tempo is what you can search for if you're not an audiophile and don't want to spend cash on headphones.
Anything under $30.
My theory is that audio components have become small and cheap enough that anyone can make a multifunction, bluetooth headphone. It'll never sound as good as a wired set (which you should have), but i'm talking daily use- Connected to my laptop, and droid.
I currently rock the cheapo Dylans because of the way they fit and their durability. They sound flatter than the Plantronics which helps keep the distortion down when listening with an Equalizer. The Plantronics have better controls, though. The M50s sound the best but I like to be wireless now.
I used to use a pair of Bohm on-the-ear bluetooth noise-cancelling headphones, but I started wearing Gunnar computer glasses and they pressed on the glasses in an uncomfortable way. Now I have a pair of Anker earbuds that are fantastic. I can use them all day for three or four days before I need to recharge them; the sound quality's good; and they can pair with more than one device at a time.
Bose QuietComfort 25, love the noise cancelling, which is very practical in an open plan office environment - but the sound quality is no more than OK imho. They are pricey, but the purchase was partly sponsored by my employer.
I usually use headphones frequently, which is relevant for both the office and home. I also spend a lot of time on calls, so I chose headphones that suit my needs. Wired headphones for cell phone remain a reliable choice for users who prefer stable audio without charging concerns. They are especially useful for long calls where consistent sound quality is essential. A built-in microphone with clear voice pickup is important for calls. Wired headphones offer simplicity and dependable performance.
EIther Bose SoundSport Wireless or Sennheiser MM-550 X travel. The latter ones are noise cancelling and awesome for planes, trains etc. The SoundSport Wireless are good for walking around as well as phone conferences - for those I like the Bose more than the Sennheiser pair.
I have MDR-XB950BT, nice and comfortable enough without being too pricey. The only fuzz is that you need to charge from time to time (lasting a good day of work without problem) and that the 3.5mm jack has some proprietary size so... don't lose it! :)
I have SoundMagic E10s which I swear by. I need isolating ones to aid my concentration, but didn't want to spend a huge amount of money (as they get a fair kicking in my satchel). These were around £30. The sound is well balanced and they're very comfortable. There is a bluetooth version which I'm very interested in, but am quite happy with a wire for the moment.
My fiancee has a pair of Bose QC35s which are lovely, and if I had the money/worked in a completely silent office I'd have a pair of those in a heartbeat.

I use Beats Studio Wireless headphones. I got them for $199, once they went on sale when the new Beats line came out.
They sound great for Wireless headphones. Wireless is never quite as good as wired, but these do pretty well and I love the lack of tether 🙂
Same ... got a deal on the Beats Wireless 2.0 when the 3.0 came out.
Ha ha.. I got the same deal. But I picked Beats In-ear wireless headphones for 99$ deal(usually they cost 199$).

This is my current favorite for regular use- amazon.com/gp/product/B01EMO1G3O
I have a pretty bad headphone sickness. I have the Plantronics BeatBack Pro, the Audio Technica M50s, and the Dylan Quiet Speace S1s.
