I've been using SoundCore Q10 for the past year or so and love them. I believe they'd roughly cost you 10k at max.

A soundcore user here I have life Q10s which came in late 2020 I purchased those from 2Gud from Flipkart those are refurbished. Still till today they sound amazing. I have 3 TWS of mine Oneplus buds 4 , galaxy buds 3 pro and apple airpods 2nd gen. But in case of bass and clarity this thing is far ahead of those. Where I am coming from. I am a normal user not an audiofile or do I know about anything about sound signature. But while gaming the clarity of this thing is far greater than my TWS. Which is incomparable. And another things BASS BOOSTER button this thing has does the magic for a bass head of you are you fill it like it's coming from some woofers man those are great.

Soundcore q20i, Sennheiser HD350. Disclaimer: I haven't used any of these. But I do have a soundcore Q10, still working after 4 years. Sound is quite bass heavy though, good for movies. I have the Sennheiser HD450, 350bt is mostly the same, without the ANC and slightly less bass tuning.

I don't play games, but I do watch a lot of movies. Sennheiser comes with aptx low latency, sound stage and imaging is very good. Soundcore supports wired connection, so that improves both the sound quality and latency. I have been very transparent with my recommendations. I have nothing against IEMs. I too have them, but let's respect people's preferences.

Personally I don't think headphones are a good choice for the gym. It'll get in the way while doing a lot of exercises like tricep curls. IEMs as suggested in other comments, are also not a good choice because, they lack any kind of ingress protection. Your best bet is TWS. Get the Nord Buds 3 pro. It has more bass than anyone needs. I had anker Soundcore q10 headphones that was a bass monster, these TWS are better than them. What more you'll get graphical EQ and ANC+ Transparency, both are very useful for gym. It's just few hundred above your budget.

No, I don't have it, Imt also looking forward to buy it, currently I'm using soundcore Q10, both earcups has been torn, that black cushion has come out, and inner sponge is visible, though volume has been dropped slightly as because of those earcups it used to fit perfectly,but now they're somewhat loose, Overall Sound quality,bass is top notch..... That's why I'm repurchasing soundcore, You can get it around 3500rs on Amazon during sale, I'm also waiting for price drop.

I also have adhd and get migraines, and I’m canadian too. I can’t speak to sleeping with the headphones on, but I do have a physically demanding outdoor job and have worn my anker soundcore (not the pros, just the regular ones) over hear headphones all day every day for the last year with no issues. Noise cancelling works great and the battery lasts all week (40hrs with ANC on, 50hrs without), which is huge imo. They are also only $140 last I checked. Anker has two websites; one for their charging devices (which are great quality too), and one for their speakers & headphones, so make sure you go to the Anker SoundCore site. Alternatively, you can also get them on amazon canada. Edit: phrasing

Are you using them for work or personal? After wearing the 3M WorkTunes over ear headphones for work, i can firmly state that they will do an excellent job of protecting your ear drums, but they will also make your head feel like it’s in a vice. I switched to the Anker SoundCore over ear headphones and they are super light weight and honestly don’t feel terribly durable, but they fold up nicely and come with their own carrying bag. And they’re way cheaper than bose or sony. i have had mine for about a year and use them every day for work (groundskeeper, lots of noisy machines) and they are still going strong, no issues. Headband is cushioned nicely too. Battery also lasts for several days even with noise cancellation running, which is a huge plus imo.

I’d get them Anker sound core or $70 JBl ones, they are decently built, and sound good for the price.

It’s not because wired or wireless sounding worst, it’s just overall a new $60 over ear headphones sounds bad regardless of it being wired or wireless. If you have to than get the the $60 JBL Or Anker sound core over ear.

I have a pair of Bose and an anker soundcore. I think depending on how trustworthy your workmates are or how paranoid you are about breaking them, either is a strong pick

All you have to do is search reddit and you'll find plenty of suggestions; this gets asked once a week at least. I've tried most of the ANC headphones on the market. Currently I use the AirPods Max, they hand's down have the best in class ANC right now, they also have the best microphone I have found on a Bluetooth headset. The APMs aren't perfect, but they have been working well for me. Of the major/common brands of ANC headphones, I would rate them Apple AirPods Max (possibly the AirPods Pro too...the ANC tech should be mostly the same), Sony XM5/XM6, Bose QC, Jabra. With the exception of Jabra, all of these are fairly expensive. If you are looking for decent ANC and have a tighter budget Jabra or Anker SoundCore are a good value and have pretty good ANC.
