I got the PX8 and they are really good headphones. I still have some Bowers and Wilkins P7 wired headphones as well. Bowers and Wilkins’ high-end models are made to last a long time using metal and sheepskin leather. My P7 set must be at least 10 years old now and they still look brand new.

Bowers and Wilkins. I have a 10+ year old P7 set that looks brand new and sounds amazing. I also have the Px8 and they’re no different, high quality build with great audio. They make their high-end sets out of sheepskin and metal. Their high-end headphones last forever.

Bowers and Wilkins P7. I got them on sale at Costco a year ago and I love them.

I would take a look at Bowers & Wilkins (Px8?) I have some P7 (not wireless) and they have a really good, meaty bass but not overpowering like the Sony headphones I've used, but likely not as good at ANC (I've read that Sony is generally one of, if not, the best at that). Personally I'm not much of a bass-head and I really like the Shure Aonic 50. They have bass but are definitely the most neutral of the 3.

Ears sweat when workout. I put my old Bower n Wilkins P7. I heard those snap really easy/fragile.

I'd suggest looking elsewhere then. Bowers & Wilkins are a solid option imo. They run circles around the XM4 for both sound and build quality. ANC isn't the best, but it's serviceable.

i think sony is the best middle-of-the-way solution between sound quality and anc. Bose's sound signature is anything but neutral, which is what you want for good sound. B&W has best sound but anc sucks.
