I see a few Sony recommendations in the comments, and i agree. I use the Sony WH-CH720N and their Sound Connect app enables you to customize and control everything, plus battery life is pretty good.

I also had the xm3 before wearing them out. I decided to try the cheaper CH720N and they are great. Build quality feels a bit worse, they are much lighter and I think the noise cancelling on the xm3 is a bit better. But the CH720N sound great, especially for the price.

Been using them for over a year & I love them. I got an additional case but I've put the headphones in my backpack most of the times w/out the case because it's really bulky which takes up a lot of space. I often lay them on my neck as well when i go out. No dents/scratch/flaws so far so i have nothing to complain about the build quality.

to be fair the build feels plasticky, especially since it's very lightweight as well. i put it in the case whenever i go out, but i sometimes lay them around my neck too. i have a headphones stand for when i don't use the headphones

i'd go for the Sony WH CH720N. A lot of quality for the price. In europe you can find it for 60 euros. Problably something like that in America.

Sony whch720n. I use it for everything you mentioned and it’s good. The anc isn’t super good but it’s decent when you’re listening to anything at 40% with it on. The sound quality is exceptional though

Tbh I ain’t completely sure because I mostly use it when I’m sitting in my room or im at college so I don’t do much physical exercise with it so I won’t be able to answer this. They’re definitely a bit flimsy though lmao but it hasn’t shown any signs of breaking or any part will fall out
