Hello Head-Fi,

I am trying to find a good Bluetooth/Wireless On-Ear or Over-Ear headphone that I can pack up in my messenger bag and go.
I will be mostly listening to music on either my phone or tablet.
Do I use it for gaming? Meh, probably not any competitive, fast paced or any intensive gaming.
My budget is probably less than $250 dollar. Could have gone more, but I am saving up my purchase for something else.
Mostly importantly, I want one that is big enough for my head and comfortable enough for my ear for long period of listening.

Thank you for the help, Head-Fi.

Update: I have bump up the price to less than $250 dollar.
Only four I could find: Beats Solo 2 Wireless (Yeah, I know ...), Bose SoundLink Over-Ear/On-Ear OR Samsung Level On Wireless.
 
Anyone got any more ideas for products?

If you are willing to buy used, the Sony MDR-10RBT can be had for around $100.  My father got a refurbished pair for about that price.  They have quite good sound and they are very very comfortable.  Much more so than my Audio-Technica M50s.

Pendulumic Stance S1+ for $199.
 
Will do everything you need them for and they sound a lot better than the Sennheiser wireless model.
 
Very comfortable on a 6 hour plan ride from NJ to San Francisco and they paired up very easily with my iPhone, and MacBook Pro. 
 
Can also be used as passive headphones with the supplied cable and sound even better that way.

Nice! Looks good.
Hmm, is the audio flat or color?

I didn't even know that thread exist.
I went to go check headphone threads, and I saw the rules that if I am asking questions about a headphone.
I have to post on this forum, and I click the link to this forum and create my thread.
 
Didn't bother checking it. :S

The Pendulumic is not flat or sterile sounding. The midrange has a small bump in the upper mids but I really like what it does with vocals. Clean but you can hear the variations in tone and it's especially good with the female voice. 
 
Bass is solid without any form of bloat - UNLESS you really crank this headphone beyond levels that are not advisable. 
 
Horns have more than enough bite without tearing your head off. 
 
I really like the overall sound quality for the money. It's easy to travel with (case is excellent and they fold flat) and the battery life is superb. I charged it once before my trip. Used it on the plane. Used it at a show. Used them walking around San Francisco. One charge. 
 
Music was almost exclusively from TIDAL or downloads on my iPhone or A&K AK100.
