Bowers & Wilkins - PX7

Bowers&Wilkins Px7. Good enough for me, I'm far from an expert and cant wear overars too long regardless of model.

Good enough for me. Still get warm ears. Havent looked in the App in a Long time.

If you'd like to have NC, I strongly suggest the Bowers & Wilkins Px7. Without NC, I dig the ATH-M50x BT die to their sound profile. I recently compared these two along with the Sennheiser Accentum as well as Soundcore Q30s and out of those, they absolutely stood out. Both headphones have app support for EQ.

Unpopular opinion: Any hifi headphone will be enough. I spent months researching on reddit what headphone should I get and long story short, it was a waste of time. I ended up buying wireless headphones (Bowers and Wilkins) and they are amazing even though nobody recommend them for gaming. Just buy the one that you like best. Here you will jump around beyerdynamics, senheiser, audio technica, hifiman, sony and many more. All of that just to be even more lost than the beginning. Any hifi headphone over 200usd will be good. You will loose your mind if you constantly see all the reviews that people recommend because for every each one of them, there is a thread that says how bad they are, or how one has this and the other doesn't, just to end up on another thread saying the complete opposite because they are amazing.The only advice that I would give to you is don't buy headphones that are made for gaming if you want hifi quality headphone sound. Also, build quality and comfort it's just not there. The only point in favor is the mic, but you can easily get an external mic, and it will be way cheaper.

I'm going to sound grumpy but the px7 is not at all natural, it is nasal, sibile, it's detailed and very poorly balanced, if you want to eq your px7 there will be distortion. I find that this headset is a huge scam, if you want hifi sound, avoid bluetooth or take a focal bathys which is the only one to be hifi wireless, otherwise the airpods max and the xm6 are the 2 best headsets with the best sound behind the bathys, but no other brand sounds better than these 2 on the wireless market.

What’s your budget? Do you want Bluetooth or wired? I find the Focal Bathys super comfy and I used to wear my Sony XM4 all day. The Bowers and Wilkins Px7 and 8 are comfy and have good connectivity but I don’t find they sound nearly as good as the Bathys

I've used my B&W Px7 daily for years now. Feels and looks brand new. You can find it fairly cheap nowadays.

5ish hours, I reckon? They're definitely on the heavy side, but really comfy. Imo, at least. And they're over-ears, that helps.

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.

Wireless Sony 1000xm5 - best noise cancellation with balanced sound signature Bower and Wilkins px7 - great sound signature, has noise cancallation. Con = headband is very stiff. If you have glasses, I advise against it. Wired + amp HD6XX - end game imo, but is open back. Best sound quality imo DT770 and/or 1770 - closed back, great sound signature leaning more bass imo Prices have gone up. But there are sales now and then where you may find them below $300. Note, the wired recommendations will require an amp (not factored into the cost).

I just recently went through the motion, tried b&w, sony, soundcore and sennheiser. It all depends on what lind of sound you like - for me sennheiser m4 is the winner but 630 is better but costs a bit more and is what i have settled on. Having in the same price range the bw px7 and px8 were atrocious for sq.

I feel badly for Bowers & Wilkins. Disliked the PX7 and PX8, along with most of their subsequent revisions. The PX7 S3 literally just knocked the Momentum 4 off my daily driver pedestal, which took its place above even pricier sets like the Bathys and 5909. Been that way since launch, practically. And then just a few months later the HDB 630 comes along and turns the S3's into the "won't embarrass my wife at the airport" headphones.
