A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

I'm looking for some BIFL over ear (wireless Bluetooth, since I'm always breaking the wires by accident) headphones.

I haven't had much luck with the earbud things. They're always falling out unless I put them in real well. I want something you can just put in and forget about. Something good for working in the field, running, etc.

It's annoying to have a pair of headphones you really like, only for them to break around the two year mark. Seems like nothing lasts these days.

I'd be willing to pay up to $200, but do tend to buy most things used.

Thanks.

I have had 990s for about two years and they are solid.
