    Anyone have recommendations of reliable BT - and I mean rock solid
    reliability - headphones/earpods? I mostly use them with my iphone while >> commuting, travelling and gardening for mostly music, but also on
    teams/zoom calls on my mac. I need them to be small and portable.

    I've never had problems with Sony. I have several over-ear headphones (from cheap to expensive) and in-ear buds. All work just fine and sound great.

    None have ever failed. Not to say that Sony headphones are indestructible. Just reporting my experience.

    Thanks. Others elsewhere have also mentioned Sony. Added to the shortlist.

    The main problem with over-ear headphones is
    that the foam pads eventually fall apart. Some can be replaced, some can't.

    Yep. Have some AKGs that I love but one ear has fallen apart. I bought a
    pair of Austrian Audio to replace them which are very good, but a bit on
    the bright side.

    I tested a pair of top-of-the-range AKG headphones and found they had a
    deep notch in the high frequency response (confirmed by listening tests
    and measurement). Their 'budget' models were far superior.
