Best £150-£300 overear headphones with bluetooth and ANC

ShadowCaptain

With my move to the iPhone 7, and the fact I am getting tired of my "on ear" sennheiser momentums (awesome headphone btw) I am looking for new headphones

Things to consider:

Over Ear

Closed (but will consider semi/open maybe)

built in mic

Bluetooth

Noise cancelling (active is a bonus)

I have been looking at the QC35s but not a huge bose fan

If you want to hit all those features there's really not much choices that would be a worthwhile upgrade from what you have. Could just sell it and get momentum over ear if you don't like the comfort but like the sound. There's nothing wrong with getting the qc35 either, Bose anc solution is above anyone else if you need it.

Yeah sadly not, I could upgrade to the momentum wireless i guess, although i something sleeker and foldable would be great

yeah the QC35s seem to do everything

Bose make the best ANC headphones.

I could live without ANC potentially, if there is some passive noise cancelling etc

 

My momentum on ears have zero I can hear everything, on a plane at full volume I still barely hear my music properly 

 

ANC would only be used when travelling, so not a daily thing

You're going to need to go for isolating IEMS then, if you want to be sure of blocking airplane noise while maintaining a safe listening volume.

I have IEMs already I want over ear, travel is only a minor factor, I like ANC but mostly just wanting good "portable" over ears that are bluetooth since I will be using the new iPhone 7 plus

@ShadowCaptain sorry to necro your thread but what headphone did you finally get? I'm currently looking at the QC35, Sony MDR100ABN and Sennheiser PXC 550(which is stupidly expensive btw and probably my last option).

Make a new thread for this, and tag OP if you want to see what happened. Or better yet, send him a PM. There is no reason to thread necro...

Hey! New SIgnature! 

 

I'm supposedly a person on the Internet, but you'll never know if I'm human or not ;)
