Recommendations for comfortable noise-cancelling headphones around £200 for classical music

[moltopianissimo]

Please could I have recommendations?

I'd like them to be comfortable, have excellent noise-cancelling capabilities, good quality sound (especially for classical music), good battery life and be easy to charge. Oh, and if they can be folded up relatively small that would be great too.

Around £200 if possible.

Thanks!

AirPods?

Bose quiet comfort. Absolutely brilliant

My Air Pod Pros are great but if you are playing lossless then Bose Quiet Comfort wired will always do better than any blue tooth connected head phones. I have both, love my Pros but for lossless detailed sound the wired win.

No, I'm looking for headphones.

Thanks, but what's lossless?

I have the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones and they’re great.

As for lossless, this is a good explanation:

Uncompressed music. Lossless is more like listening to the CD/Vinyl, most streamed music is compressed - mp3/m4a format etc. Some streamers are lossless but that requires much more capacity and this can be an issue for bluetooth (so you lose some quality).

If you are happy with high rate compressed (eg 320 or less) bluetooth should be fine. If you want really high quality classical with all the detail then you want lossless and probably will find wired is better.

Are you listening to your own music on a device or streamed and compressed music?
