Replacement for my HyperX Cloud II. (self.headphones)

Hey everyone!

So I've had the HyperX Cloud II for a few years now, but lately, it's been kinda troublesome. Sometimes, if the wire moves a bit the right side doesn't get any audio, and even when it has audio it sounds weird.

So I'd like to get some recommendations for a new pair of headphones, with these

Around 100 euros, could stretch them to around 150 if the headphones are that good.
Are closed back.
Have a good build quality/ durable. ( Sometimes I drop my headphones, not on purpose ofc. I'm just stupid.😬)
I was satisfied with the sound quality of the Cloud 2s, so any headphones that sound the same or better are good in my book.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

The cloud has a mic and is a full headset. Do you want just plain headphones with no mic or is a mic a requirement?

I don't need a mic, already have a standalone one. It might even be better if the new headphones don't have a mic.

Hifiman Sundara closed back? Its not made to be dropped but the best quality I can think of.
