I have also been thinking this, I'd say get anything that works. Closed Backs with ANC are probably your friend here. Also Bose is quite expensive....I have used Jabra Elites pretty good.
I've had the Jabra elites for a couple years and just got a set of Shokz. I prefer the Jabras on my weekday short runs that end up being along streets with traffic because the noise from the cars drowns out the music with Shokz. If it's super early (still dark), less busy streets, or on the trail I go with the Shokz.
If calls are a priority, Jabra Elite 85h still beats most Sony/Bose mics imo.
jabra elites. good pass through when necessary. good anc when coworking.
Treat them like shoes and stock up now. I've had this pair for 13 months with zero issues.
I'm a musician, drummer, and currently on Jabra Elite 85h. Noise cancelling, can have a couple different settings, water resistant and also have an app you can fiddle with a few settings such as EQ etc. I use these headphones for both drumming along to tracks and in the gym, and everywhere else really. Well worth the money, had them about 5 or so years now and the case is slightly worn but headphones are as good as ever. Have a really long battery life too.
Jabra Engage 65, it’s a DECT headset. Also the Jabra Elite 85h, but it requires the Link 370 dongle for good call quality. I prefer the Engage 65, even with the headset audio switching issues with Teams, Zoom, etc because the range is incredible with DECT.
