My wife is looking for a reliable set of headphones she can use on her computer.

She likes ones that she kind of wrap around the back of the neck.

Suggestions on a good quality lower price brand would be appreciated.

seriously? headphones like that are a dime a dozen. Just go by any set and she should be fine.

Seriously, she's bought 3 sets thinking that, and they were crap.

I don't have these particular ones, but I love my Sennheisers.

Get her Bose noise reduction. If she bitches about them, shoot her.

I was going to recommend these as well. Or the Sennheiser brand.

I'm not personally familiar with the style your wife prefers. Have heard some good things about each of these:

Sennheiser in general also tends to do well across the board even though they are better know for their higher end larger headphones.

Same could be said about earbuds and that is also definitely not true.

Not sure on budget or style (over ear or ear bud).

It sounds like she's looking for something that isn't going to mess up the hair.

I use these when I'm riding my motorcycle and for the computer.

I'd recommend them every day of the week.

The only negative about them is the cord is fairly thin. So if she has A.D.D. and likes to chew things, I might think twice about getting them.

Both of THIS.

Sennheiser is easily one of the best sounding headphones brands I have ever used. I have their earbuds, and 2 sets of headphones... one wired the other wireless.

The JVC marshmallow earphones have been a God send for me, but that's because I have cauliflower ear from wrestling for 18 years and they are the only ones that will fit in my ears...I even have issues with headphones staying on my ear..... I am assuming that the Marshmallows will be just as cool for someone who doesn't havee cauliflower ear.
