I'd say purely based on usage time, my Bose Quiet Comfort headphones. I've had them since 2013 and have gone through a few pairs. My first set got chewed up by my then young now late guide dog. I was unaware you could replace the ear pads, so I bought a whole second pair. My bad. This second pair has lasted until today, though I upgraded to the QC ultra for the built-in bluetooth and use the old wired pair in my ham shack.
I bought them originally for work. I worked in a call center. The crappy plantronics headset they gave me wasn't going to cut it for 8 hours a day, so I looked for something better. Ended up buying the QC's plus an adaptor for a standard Cisco VOIP phone to TRS connectors. Used the QC's plus a cheap lapel mic.
I'd say the name "quiet comfort" says it all. I didn't care about how they sound since they handily beat the cheap earbuds that came with phones at the time as well as that plantronics nightmare from work. What they are is quiet and comfortable. They served me for 8 hours a day over four years.
