Yeah pxc550, still my favorite but low battery life and two pairs of earcups, HD450BT and the worst of the group the Momentum 4 on/off switch broke have to use them wired.
Noise airwave max 6 are also coming and I'm waiting for them otherwise i have thought of saving money and buying either sony ch720n or CMF pro or Sennheiser HD 450 BT cause one thing is clear there's nothing greater than utmost comfort and sound quality in daily usage. And with brands like sony or Sennheiser you can never go wrong even if they feel outdated cause quality over features is what i have learnt over the past few days in terms of research over it.
I know Jlab JBuds lux and Soundcore Q20i and Space one are preferred everywhere under 5k or 6k budget. But the actual reviews on amazon and flipkart and reddit shocked me because of poor build quality, bulkiness, wear and tear very quickly along with no physical store support for replacement or repair of pads or the whole headphone made me think about it and today i went to a reliance store to check headphones and there were only 5 or 6 headphones in testing stand. There were JBL Tune 770NC, 512 etc. and Boat ⛵ Headphones the 771 Nirvaana and the 551 rockerz. When i personally tested it with my android i felt one strong thing, even though JBL suffers from poor build and low average sound (need to.listen more than 75% volume to get the real JBL feel). but the quality was way superior and the bass was just balanced not too high or low in comparison to Boat headphones - they had bass too high and the sound quality felt cheap and artificial. It instantly hit me with that feeling ki even though JBL are on the higher side of price and are of low sound and a very quick wear and tear visible but the sound quality and comfort made all the difference.
TL;DR :- Wait for sometime, extend your budget to around 8k and buy a good Sony, CMF, JBL, Sennheiser headphones instead if you are fixed with 5k or 6k still go for atleast JBL or Noise only particular models as they are good in sound.
Comfort and Sound Quality is superior than any feature that a brand is selling in less price.
Wait for it. Save 3k more. Buy Sony WH-CH720N in 8k or less. Trust me. With sony you can't go wrong with sound quality and cushion quality comfort. I'm going to wait cause honestly nothing fits perfectly in 5k. When it comes to Jlab Jbuds which everyone suggests but the build quality is questionable (you can check reviews of people who bought it on amazon or Flipkart). Another one is Soundcore Q20i which feels outdated in today's day and age. Space one has again build quality and pads issue (can check it too). What i saw personally when i visited a physical store and i tried some headphones (not these exactly) - I experienced that sound quality and cushion comfort is above everything. With brands like Boat and Noise it felt really artificial no doubt they were loud and bass enough. But with Sony and JBL there was a comfort and a premium sound quality (no doubt they wear & tear very early only if not handled with care.) Out of Sony and JBL i found that JBL were low in sound and not balanced enough as much as Sony (this is when i haven't used Equalizer or any app - just pure raw sound). Sony felt comfortable and music felt like it should be in an over ear headphones.
My good man. I am an idiot. I was recommending a product that has absolutely no brand affiliation with sennheiser 😂😂😂😂
I will still recommend my 450bts, cheap but great sound quality, a little punchy on the bass side depending on the device but all in all, pretty good!
Sennheiser HD 450BT can’t be beat. AptX Bluetooth and wired mode with noise cancelling. On sale in the USA for $70 currently: https://us.sennheiser-hearing.com/products/hd-450bt?srsltid=AfmBOoohj7DKPNgWsgmwTkspuFwPCqFQjjItCSup5HNzclp14srpiSrM
I had a similar if not identical white version of these. Eventually kicked the can but must have lasted 3 solid years and weren't looked after particularly well. Comfortable and good sound, can't go wrong
