Wireless Headphones
Looking for some advice on wireless headphones. I don't really use headphones much anymore and when I do I use wired ones.
These would be for my son for watching youtube vids, gaming and watching anime/comics and some music so daily general use.
He doesn't like earbuds so looking for over the ear headphones and also looking for ones that don't sound too tinny like the dollar store crap.
He was using Kotion Each G2000 headphones which sound pretty good for the price but they are wired and I am tired of fixing headphones wires. Thus I am looking for wireless headphones for him.
He is 11 years old so not looking for audiophile sound quality, as long as it doesn't sound like complete shite/tinny, the G2000 are just fine for him barring that they do not have a wireless option.
I also do not care about the it having a mic as it something he wont be using.
Other things his PC does not have bluetooth so I am guess most wireless headset now work via BT?
If so any decent BT dongles?
Why wireless, we have a cat and she just loves the small wires on the cheaper headphones so they tend to get chewed up and when not, like the G2000, then the wires just gives away eventually from where he grabs the jack to plug them in and out of his PC.
Seems like nowadays all headset seems to use really small gauge wires and want to break as soon as you sneeze on them, they are not nearly as fixable as back when I was younger and all you really needed was knife and black electrical tape.
Would like to keep it under 100$ca for the headset and hopefully and 50$ca or less for the BT dongle.
I do not really have any preferences on things like if they are "gamer headsets" or not etc, just want something that will work easily, be OS agnostic, have decent battery life and wont have pairing problems or things like that...other than that not sure what i sould be looking out for.
Advice, recommendations?
Right now I am looking at these Razer Nari Essential headphones?
EDIT: The PC this is to be used on does not have usb c type ports.

Or some other wireless headphone that also has the option to connect with detachable audio cable, so that you won't have to care when your child forgets to recharge it.
