Well, yes but I can't say I recommend the under $50 ones
I have two different bluetooth in ear and one over the ear headsets. I also have a couple of wired in ear headsets.

Bluetooth -
Apple airpods - these are what I use most. Very comfortable and very useful. Not cheap. ($140)
Zoyol bluetooth headphones - This is my back up that stays in my scottevest. They work and they are cheap ($20). Not sure how durable they are.

Sennheiser PXC 450 - great noise canceling over the ear headphone. This is what I use at the office where it can be pretty loud at times. They work great, but they definitely aren't cheap ($200+)

Wired -
Bose QuietComfort 20 - in ear noise canceling headset that is my other device for a loud environment. I tend to alternate between these and the over the ear. They are exceptional noise canceling headsets, but once again, not cheap - ($250)

I also have a number of wired earbuds from Kudo, a company that went belly up a few years ago. They are cheap but seem to be a lot more durable than most cheap wired headset.

I can't really recommend skullcandy headphones. I've bought 5 over the years and none lasted very long. The wires have a real tenancy to break. Perhaps others have had more luck.
