Ears sweat when workout. I put my old Bower n Wilkins P7. I heard those snap really easy/fragile.
Bowers and Wilkins. I have a 10+ year old P7 set that looks brand new and sounds amazing. I also have the Px8 and theyβre 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.
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.
Quite a list you have! I'm only familiar with a few of them on your list, but here's my thought on them * Momentum 4 - Best sounding of all sub-$500 wireless that I've tried. These are the most accurate and balanced. What's the catch? The ANC is rather weak when compared to other brands' flagships. They also don't fold up so they take up more space when taking on the go. * Sony XM6 - Bass cannon. So much bass it hurts the clarity, but it's also a lot of fun to listen to. These also have the best ANC in the market right now. I wear them in a Starbucks and felt quiet like in my own living room. They also fold up which helps when taking them on the go. * Bose QC Ultra (not sure which gen I tried) is between the Momentum 4 and the Sony XM6. Better sound than XM6 but not as good as Momentum. Worse ANC than XM6 but better than Momentum. * Bowers & Wilkins products - yeah they sounded good when I tried them on, but didn't shine in any particular aspect. If I wanted a pair like this I'd have gone with the Bose instead and save some $$$. * AKG and Beyerdynamic make some really good traditional studio headphones, but I wouldn't buy their wireless sets. You mentioned that you prefer earbuds. If you still have another $100 to spare, check out wired earbuds too. You'd be blown away by their sound quality. I recommend either the Moondrop Aria 2 or Truthear Hexa.
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.
