the ANC is not bad, but it is a known weakness of the headphones in this price range. Sony does better in this regard but with worse audioquality. Its just something to consider when buying these headphones. I've seen better build quality in this price range but you really are paying for audio quali

Ignore every other post here and buy the Bowers and Wilkins PX7 S2e on sale for $220 right now. Better sound quality than sony and bose and dramatically better build quality. The Sony XM series is notorious for hinges breaking and it sounds like longevity is a priority for you.

I was looking for pretty much the exact same thing you are for the same reason. I landed on the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3. Probably the best sounding headphones in their class honestly. Beat out the Sony, Bose, and AirPods Max in sound. Noise cancelling is quite good but not as good as those mainstrea

I had Momentum 4 in my basket this week, but in the end I went with the Bowers and Wilkins px7 S2e. The Momentum's feel really cheap and plasticy and as much as I like them, the cheapness really pisses me off...

Exactly this. Soly depends if you need strong ANC. If not -> Sennheiser. Wildcard for the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e (depending what they cost at your location. In my place they are all about the same). Sounding better than the XM4, ANC better than Sennheiser, so exactly in the middle of both. Plus mu

I've been using Samsung Buds 2 Pro that I received free with a phone a couple years ago and, up until recently, they did the job. Unfortunately, Samsung pushed an update that made their ANC less effective, putting me on the hunt now for some closed back ANC wireless headphones. I wasn't happy with t

Bower & Wilkins PX7 S2E. Otroliga over ear lurar. Väldigt nöjd med de. Kostar en del, men köpte de efter separationen och det var så värt 😎

Damn that’s ridiculous. We’re going to try to return them, maybe get those McLaren edition Pi8s from Bowers and Wilkins. We have many BW products and all are phenomenal (a formation series home theater, a portable speaker, formation series stereo pair, and Px7 S2e). Hopefully those will fare better.
