#98 Sony WH-CH510: $64.19 Discontinued Amazon eBay
Pros: This is a wireless closed-back headphone with Bluetooth 5.0, SBC and AAC codecs, and a rated 35 hours of battery life, at only 132 g. Bass from 60 to 200 Hz sits about 2.7 dB above target, giving a warm, easygoing sound for casual listening, with a fairly smooth 2.49 dB deviation.
Cons: Presence is about 4 dB low with a 7.3 dB dip near 5.4 kHz, so vocal and guitar bite recede and detail sounds muted. There is no active noise cancelling, and the codec list stops at SBC and AAC, so there is no higher-bitrate option. Discontinued.
