#77 Edifier W820NB Plus: $59.55 Wireless Amazon $59.55 eBay
Pros: ANC over ears at about $60 with LDAC, a light 221 g build and up to 33 hours with ANC, and a preference score of 86. Bass extends fully to 20 Hz with a gentle lift, and the midrange stays within about 1 dB of target.
Cons: Treble is jagged, with peaks of 6.3 dB near 7.3 kHz and 7.6 dB near 8.2 kHz next to a 7.6 dB dip near 9.2 kHz, which can make sibilants stand out. Wired listening is over USB C only, and the score rests on a single measurement.

Frequency Response
How the Edifier W820NB Plus measures across the audible range, against the Harman over-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is a single measurement, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: a single measurement from the squig.link database of filk. Thanks to them for publishing their work.
