I am looking for a quality and durable headphone with high audio quality on a budget

Hello, I am looking for a quality and durable headphone with high audio quality on a budget around $200, I want it to last long and be comfortable when I wear it for hours, I primarily listen to music and audio-books and do some casual gaming like story games and Minecraft, I don't usually carry headphones around but portability would be nice, preferably it's not from a niche brand since the availability of brands is low in my country does anyone have any recommendations?

Durability whise I can recommend Beyerdynamics, they should have some good (wired) options at your budget like the DT 770. Or the 990 pro
I think you really have to consider whether you want wireless or not, because wired will give you much better sounding options

If you're willing to hit up Ebay for "new in box" options, you can get some pretty good stuff under $180. For wireless:
Fairbuds XL: Made by the Fairphone folks, who have a very good reputation for repairability and longevity.
Sonos Ace: Stainless steel pivots, replaceable earpads, huge battery, no glitchy touch controls. Mine have treated me well so far. Absurd you can find them this cheap, considering the original MSRP.

I have the DT 770 Pro X and love them. Not only extremely durable, but super comfy after hours of wearing them. The company sells some replacement parts, and they work with a third-party company in America to do more complicated repairs.
That being said, the 770 and 990 aren't very portable at all, so that's something to consider. I use a pair of Shure IEMs when I'm away from home. The OEM hard carrying case for the 770 does have a caribiner clip, so you could get around space constraints by clipping it to a backpack or travel bag.

A bit less than $200, but the Audio-Technica ATH M50Xs are a durable and quality workhorse. I've been using mine going on 10 years now and the only thing I've needed to do is replace the ear pads and add a protector around the head cushion.
Highly recommend. Plus it has detachable cables of varying lengths and coils.Side note: they do fold up for portability.
