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

In my case I’ve got Apple AirPods Max and Bowers & Wilkins PX7 OG but that’s just my preferences - take your pic, there’s a million options out there.

What is your budget, I'd go for an overear, I hear Yamaha & Sony have good ANC overear headset, I favour the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra and Bowers & Wilkins Px7, but that's because I have experience with these ones. My JBL Live Pro TWS2 earbuds are also very good, And the inear Bose Quiet Ultra earbuds are also very good. But I generally use them for phone use and phone calls See, sometimes I get an itch in my ear, and if I scratch it, it becomes too irritated to accept inear buds, that's why I prefer over ear on long flights But they come with a steep price, The Sony WH1000MX5 might be a good middle ground, if you're on a budget The overear sets come with a 3.5mm jack cable and an airplane connector, For the inear buds, you'll need to buy one and a bt transmitter

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.

Polecam Bowers &Wilkins px7 do wyrwania na promce za ok. 800-900 zł ale warto tę stówkę dołożyć. Długa żywotność baterii, krótkie ładowanie, świetna jakość dźwięku. Słuchawki są closed back, odcinają dźwięki z zewnątrz. Wcześniej używałem open back Sennheiser HD bt 4.40 i z B&W nie mógłbym być bardziej zadowolony.

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

Mine turned 20 this year. Still my first choice despite having others. The only problems with those are the obvious ones: they are open back 320ohm cans. Not exactly first choice for your daily commute. You need a device capable of driving them and the person next to you might not enjoy Judas Priest as much as you do. In terms of wireless over ears, I loved the newer Momentums, from Gen 3, but my ears got sweaty wearing them. I did try a ton of others (Sony, B&O, beyerdynamic, Shure and others) and settled on the Bowers&Wilkins PX-7 v2 a while back. Distorted, fuzz driven guitars are great with them.
