Sony WH-XB900N

Easily recommended – Been using these as my daily beater for 5 or 6 months now, and find them to be great overall. Vastly superior to my previous set, the AKG (Samsung) N700NC M2, in all aspects except for active noise cancellation and charging speed. Sound quality is fantastic when using higher level Bluetooth codecs. Bass is abundant in spades, although only if you switch to the lowest level codec, SBC. The reason is that bass levels can only be tweaked to their full potential while in SBC mode (in the companion app). Higher level codecs (AptX and above), however, still provide sufficient enough bass.

Comfort is quite good as attested by the fact that I've fallen asleep wearing these on multiple occasions. The trade-off is that they MAY slip off with rigorous use. The clamping force is geared towards comfort, not exercise.

Build quality seems up to par – no complaints as of yet. A far cry from the aforementioned AKGs, which exhibited a number of issues resulting from poor build quality.

Battery life is something like 30+ hours, which I'd wager is a major pro in anyone's book. The downside is that they charge slow, taking several hours to go from zero to full.

The real catch is active noise cancellation. I wont lie, it's not great. 'Average' would be the way I'd describe it. You'd certainly find better performing ANC elsewhere at this price point.

In terms of the microphone, I've received no complaints from people at the other end. Seems to function as it should.

Terrible microphone – The microphone of this headphone will easily catch literally anything around you, including movements and such. Noise canceling is okay, not surprising. It can get uncomfortable if you wear it for too long. It’s an alright headset, but I think my gaming headset does the job better than him. For a wireless headset it’s among the standard, but for the price, I would say wait until it is 30% and more off.
