#227 Sony ULT Wear: $129.95 Wireless Amazon $129.95 eBay
Pros: Active noise cancelling, up to 30 hours of battery with ANC on and 50 with it off, LDAC and AAC support, and a wired option make it a practical travel headphone. Listeners who want maximum bass get it: in squig.link measurements the 60 to 200 Hz range sits nearly 9 dB above target and sub-bass about 7.6 dB above.
Cons: The preference score is just 8, with a very uneven response; a 12 dB dip near 9.7 kHz beside a 5.6 dB peak at 11.2 kHz, plus a presence region more than 4 dB low, buries vocals and detail under the bass. The Sennheiser HD 569 rates higher at a similar price.
