Honestly, I would recommend a good pair of Bluetooth headphones because it is amazing how simply being able to shut out the world can relax a person.

Not headphones but the Samsung earbuds are pretty good and I picked them up for ~60$ on Amazon. I hadn't used earbuds for years and had no idea how good the tech has gotten. Super comfortable, pretty good noise muffling, fancy wireless charging. Makes doing yard work go so fast.

I can't do ear buds because they make my ears actually hurt after wearing them for even as little as 5 minutes

Do you have small ears? That's a serious question by the way. I ask because I have really small ears, so a lot of earbuds are way too large and hurt to wear, but ever since I found ones that have small enough soft tips, it's been a totally different experience

I think I have smallish ear canals which may be the culprit because man do ear buds cause discomfort. I like headphones that completely cover my both my ears. I can wear them all day long without issue.
