Cheap over-the-ear headphones achieve a similar effect. I find that more sound leaks in through those than through my earbuds, and the headphones actually reduce wind noise (more aerodynamic than all the folds and bumps in my ears).

Hm, thats interesting. My experience with bluetooth hardware has generally been pretty spotty. I strongly prefer wireless bluetooth headphones, and have for nearly a decade bought basically the same pair of cheap headphones everytime I've lost or broken mine (like this https://www.amazon.com/SoundBot-SB240-Bluetooth-Streaming-HandsFree/dp/B00LJP9JRK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492299084&sr=8-1&keywords=bluetooth+headphone+behind+neck) I nver get the same exact company but they're all basically the same. Some have been better than others, but I pretty much have to stick to the cheapest generics because as far as I can tell there aren't a whole lot of competitors. Recently there's been a view more competing form factors coming online (what with Apple doing the air buds etc) but I still haven't seen all that much outside of these generic designs. I think Bose and a couple of other companies have some bluetooth head phones that have a little transmitter and stuff, but they're massively more expensive.
But to me it seems like wireless just makes sense! I thought it had to be some kind of limitation of the format that kept people from really embracing it. I figured it was probably something that audiophiles could tell that I couldn't hear, like lag or bad compression or something, and that once something better than bluetooth came around we'd see improvements.
Budget: Below 30
Source: Mainly cell phone, might use on PC
Requirements for Isolation: Not needed, in an office job I should be able to hear if someone needs my help, but still not listen to every beep around me.
Preferred type of headphone: over the ear
Preferred tonal balance: balanced
Past headphones: I've always used the default that come with my phone and some random brands from the store on my PC.
What I want: I'd prefer a bluetooth set, since cables tend to get in the way and they seem overall more convenient. I'm currently looking at SB270 and SB240 but I'm not sure which one is better for my needs. Picture an 8 hour office job wearing them that might transition into a couple hours at home (although at home I want to get a proper headset for chatting and such, but that would need to wait a couple months).
I hate ear buds so I use Soundbot SB-240 over the ear BT headphones. I use them every day for hours and I charge them once a week at most. Plus they're under $20! I post this in every thread where this comes up because they've been so amazing in the 1.5 years I've had them!
