Budget gaming king with clear sound, but tight fit.

Sony XM5/XM6 have good mic but the hinge weakness worries me. Bose CQ45/Bose QC Ultra are very comfy but their mic while okay for WFH it does not work for open plan office as they pick up chatter very easily. I ended up getting an AKG N9 which also comes with a Usb dongle
Ur getting some wild answers from ppl who know a lot more than me; I have Bose QC45s and I love them. I’ve tried Sony XM6s and they’re also great.
So as you know glasses interfere with passive isolation which plays a huge role in blocking the noise and undermines the ANC As such which material is best for that ? AirPods Max material or Bose fake leather ? My qc45 don't block nearly as much noise as they used to on day 1
QC35 the GOAT. Partner got QC45 and theyre pretty similar but the QC35 still feel better overall. I swear they sound better but could be wrong. Just have to replace the ear pieces like once a year.
I have Bose qc45 and use them for everything and love them. They're comfy, they sound good and they reduce noise well. The only thing that I don't like is how big they are, but there aren't earbuds that would be as comfortable or as good at blocking out noise, so I stick with the over the ears.
Use a Bose QC-45 daily for meetings and noise cancellation in the office. Would probably buy another when this one gives up.
