[Wanted] BT Headphones like JBL E55BT / JBL E500BT or equivalent

[ShadowSyotos]

I am in the market for portable wireless headphones that can be used for long periods of time (at work in the office - Battery life should be at least 15 hours on max volume) and that can double as my gaming headset at night (Requires Mic). These headphones should be over-ear. I am open to other equivalent offers, maybe a Sennheiser HD 4.50 - if I'm very lucky. Take a look at the JBL's to get an idea of what I am looking for.

Item Wanted: Wireless Over-Ear Headset with a built-in mic, like the JBL E55BT or JBL E500BT.
Packaging Essential: Original packaging or at least proof of payment.
Desired Age: Not bothered about age, but condition should be good.

Good Evening,

Hope all is well.

I have a brand new pair of headsets, the ASUS ROG Strix Fusion Wireless Gaming Headset. Its sealed in its box with warranty from Evetech. Reason why i think you would like them:

"I am in the market for portable wireless headphones that can be used for long periods of time (at work in the office - Battery life should be at least 15 hours on max volume) and that can double as my gaming headset at night (Requires Mic)."
The headsets (as shown on the website) "Play longer and more freely with up to 15+ hours battery life and 20 meter coverage".

They are gaming headsets with a high quality mic. The usb wireless adapter allows it to also work on console/pc/laptop.
The side of the headset is also touch screen, so you can adjust volume and skip music via touching the side panel of the headset.

I use them everyday for gaming and music.

Reason why im looking to sell them; 4 days before my birthday i bought myself the headsets... on my birthday my mom bought me the exact same headsets.

Why not return it to Evetech? Evetech told me that they can only give me R1300 back in credit for the headsets because i only tried to return the headsets to them like 5 weeks after i got them. Thus they are currently selling for R2000 on Evetech (the price i bought them for), so i want to sell them for R1500 minimum opposed R1300 to not lose so much money.

Thank you for the reply, I have given these a good look and I have a few concerns about them.
1) They do not support bluetooth, thus drastically limiting their 'portable' use.
2) They do not support multiple devices (mainly because of the lack of bluetooth support).
3) As far as I can gather, they aren't really made to be portable (not foldable, requires usb etc).

I do like the long range and low latency sound. The touch controls is also nice. They seem like they can be comfortable.

All in all, this is a good option but I am not willing to sacrifice so much portable funtionality and pay more than I stated. I would rather buy the JBL's that have the functionality I want for cheaper.
Thank you again for the post!
