PX7 S2e

Check out the B&W they have some great head phones and within your budget, I just ordered px7 s2 yesterday and they have a great sound 🔊

I recently picked up B&W PX7S2 and for wireless and reasonable price they are pretty good with a little EQ adjustment, definitely not top shelf but not gutter trash either.

I bought into the hdb630 hype. Ordered em from Best Buy and returned them a day later. They sounded great, but they did not get loud enough by a mile. And I don’t mean head-splittingly loud, I mean just normal loud. Couldn’t justify keeping them. I do enjoy my Px7 s2e tho. And they are not super volume limited. Comfy as heck too

If you are flexible with the brand, Bowers and Wilkins PX7 s2e are a great choice. Very clear sound for a good price. No touch features but I don’t like that anyways. The app does not have as many functions as that from sennheiser but the headphones are very well calibrated when you buy them. They are not very bass heavy as the momentum 4s as well. I come from momentum 3 and the 4s did not feel like an upgrade to me in terms of sound quality. I am more happy with b&w right now (for every day bt headphones)

I recently bought the B&W PX7 S3 and returned them. I had the PX7 S2 and was expecting more, but I couldn't get them tuned in to my liking. The bass was lovely and smooth, the heading up the frequencies it was either too harsh or too dull, it was very difficult to get the right balance. I've tried the EQ in the app and Wavelet but neither could make them sound how I like. They just seem to lack a level of intimate richness. The search goes on, at the moment looking at the Focal Bathys but they're a little bit more than I'd like to spend!

I would suggest B&W PX7s3 or Dali Io-8 if you can stretch your budget. Under 250 euros, go for a discounted B&W Px7S2e and nothing will come close for classical listening.

I haven’t listened to all of the ones you’ve listed, so not sure I can say with 100% accuracy, but I do like them and chose them over the Bose due to sound quality. (The Bose probably has a smidge better noise cancelling.) I think the Px8 is more about “luxury” build quality, so if that isn’t important the Px7 is a fair bit cheaper and will still be very high quality.

I’ve got a pair of B&W Px series that I use for air travel that I like. I gave my wife my Bose ones after I got them. Good sound quality, good noise cancelling, comfortable, come with a nice case for travel. Can find them on sale or used in your range if that is an option.

Picked up a pair of Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e’s. Very happy with them. As they're not the most current model or the top of the line from B&W you should be able to find some for under $500.
