for the past few months my every day use phones have been the AKG Q701 or Sennheiser HD650, been too lazy and tired to unbox and plugin anything better.
Sennheiser HD598 here. I like them, but should get a DAC/amp.
also bose is overpriced junk
Bose makes pro gear, and noise canceling headphones for aviation have been one of their big things for ages. Most of their consumer stuff is Beats-like junk, but I wouldn't doubt they have top-notch noise cancellation, since they already have the R&D done for it, engineers that know that tech inside and out, and I'm sure a huge relevant patent portfolio.Normally I would agree with you but they are incredibly well regarded from the noise cancelling aspect and I have yet to personally find a pair that does a better job. I died a little bit inside when I bought my QC20s but after a couple of flights with them I love them. Crying baby right behind me? Didn't even notice
