To ask for help with headphones

Hi
i'm hopeless at tech
My trusty in ear Bose noise cancelling headphones (wired) have finally failed, after 8 years of great service.

Now I'd like to replace with similar but can't find anything. I can see "noise isolation" but that isn't the same, or is it? I can't have anything that needs Bluetooth - must be wired, old school, and with a connection that works on old Sony MP3 and ipad.

They also were fine for about 8 hours use, which is great on days involving long journeys. Identical pairs seem to be around but not with guarantee.

If I can get the same but cheaper, I'll pleased. MN wisdom much appreciated. Thank you.

I've just ordered a blue pair. £6.50..

They come with changeable caps so you can adjust the fit. I hope you like them. They're the only ones I've found that are shaped to fit instead of just being round. I use mine to sleep and watch TV and when I'm out to have my music on and I have a pair with a mic to make phone calls.. they're rarely out my ears.. 🤣

Would these be any good?

Hi, OP - I have Sony WH-1000XM4.

They are Bluetooth but include a 3.5mm jack point and a cable. I use them cabled for work calls because I can't risk the Bluetooth crapping out (which I find always does no matter what headphones I use).

They are completely excellent.

Ah, sorry - just realised you specified in-ear. Ignore me and carry on!
