I really liked these headphones in 2020 and they are great value for money. But I can not find them anywhere now. Have they changed names/brands? If yes, then what the new product is called?
TaoTronics TT-BH046 Headphones: Where Have They Gone?

I'd say discontinued model. When SunValley were banned from Amazon due to offering incentives for positive reviews it really killed the company. They still exist so you'd have to shop at their website, Dick Smith/Kogan and eBay etc.
Both those links don't show the TT-BH046.
I know because I had the sale question as OP months ago and I scoured the internet for them.
I was actually hoping they were still on Amazon, but under a different name like some other Taotronics products are.The only place I found selling the TT-BH046 was eBay AU, and the listing said out of stock and had expensive shipping from the US where the seller was located.
Definitely discontinued then.
They have no over-ear headphones listed on their website - https://www.taotronics.com/collections/headphones
I think I read a while back they changed name for a bit after they got de-listed from Amazon for incentivised reviews (which is funny because many still do it…) - but looks like its totally all gone now headphones wise.
Luckily there are heaps of budget options these days eg anker regularly goes on sale.
Which anker do u recommend as the best?
Budget?
Q35 prob sweet spot, just under $150 when on sale
Sometimes q45 are on sale and are only $35 extra. Do u think they are better?
W series
Mine are still going strong after 3 years, took them on my most recent holidays, the noise cancelling still surprises me. Great headphones IMO.
I posted the same question as you in forums lol.
No real cheap/easy way to get the BH046 locally. Have to go with Anker Q series like Jimothy suggests.
The Anker Q series is around $150. I remember buying the Tao Tronics for like $70 or less
Yeah I know Taotronics was much cheaper. I found all the BH046 deals on ozbargain.
A few months ago I wrote a similar post to OP asking where to find the BH046 because that's what I wanted.
Anker Q30 which I think is on the same tier as the BH046 has been as low as $99 shipped on Amazon AU, which is still more but at least it's actually available.
not BH046
I was wondering the same thing. I bought one in 2020 aswell and still using it now as my main headphones. The thing is the earpad foam is starting to pick apart and the black material is falling all over the carpet. I'm looking for a replacement and can't find any updated models
I highly recommend the edifier w830bt as an upgrade or alternative.. The taotronics were good but for me they would lose battery by the end of the day where as the edifier w830bt I think I can use it all week with no charging and still be well over in battery charge
