Looking for Bluetooth over ear headphones at 2k

Hi, the title pretty much says it all. Looking to get a decent wireless over ear headphone for my sis around 2 to 3k. There are certainly no trouble finding one but there are just so many options I am quite overwhelmed on what to pick. Nothing particular, just the usual good neutral sound quality, fairly comfortable and decent battery.

The main reason she wants one is that the ear buds seems to be a bit painful on ears during continuous use and gets a bit icky. I on the other hand give a lot of importance to sound quality but its hard to find reliable reviews for cheap headphones. I usually check crinacle for audio devices but he doesn't bother with cheap stuff so would like to get some recommendations from experts here. And if something is significantly better at 4 or 5k I wouldn't mind stretching the budget a little and maybe get one for myself as well. :p
 
You could also try non in ear tws earbuds. Moondrop has recently launched a model called block. It's available for pre-order rn. I use their space travel tws earbuds and they're excellent.

But if you want to go the headphones route, check out sound core q10 by anker.
 
Or step up some more for the noise cancelling variant by the same brand

How's the battery life on Space Travel? I recently opted for Sony WF-C500 instead of Space Travel solely due to the battery life. EQed it with wavelet.

It's pretty good. I don't think the case holds a lot of charge though. I get 3-4 hrs with just the earbuds and the case will be able to top it up 2-3 times. You can still get the space travel because they're so cheap. And the sound quality in normal mode is fantastic (both the ANC and transparency mode let wind noises through if there's even a decently strong wind, and it's irritating).

She specifically asked for over ear as she finds iem a bit painful on the ears. The anker you suggested looks pretty good so I think I will get that, thanks for the help.

TWS for less than 3k is nuts, how does it compare to moondrop chu 2? I tried airpods and amazon basic tws before but wasn't a fan of them, airpods was alright with some eq but still not that good compared to chu.

Oof that's quite expensive, I was looking more at 2k range so the other model suggested looks good enough to me. If I end up liking this one enough maybe I will get the anc version for myself :p
