Wireless:

- Top tier general: sennheiser Hbd 630

- good enough: sennheiser momentum 4 (affordable)

- good ANC and “bassy”: Sony xm5/xm6 (‘muddy’ for some)

- I like the Bose ANC profile: Bose QC2

All of them have bad microphones (worse than wired ear pods)

All of them have good to great ANC

All of them are wireless

If you need a good mic then get dedicated headset for calls. Otherwise settle for “ok”

I didn’t include bathys/marklevin cause the new senn 630 outplay them on all fronts.



Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2 can be included also as top tier general + audiophile sound quality (‘musical’) + premium build and materials.

Yeah this is why people just buy AirPods Max.
