Sub £100 ANC headphones

[Craikeybaby]

The Soundcore Q20 headphones I got in 2020 are literally falling apart - so it is time to replace them. They are mainly used paired to my Mac whilst I am working - both for listening to music and for calls. When I am out and about I use AirPods.

There seems to be a few later Soundcore models: the Q20i and Q30 at £50 and the Q45 and Space One at about £80 - I can't work out the various headphones sit in the range.

I have also looked at the Sony WH-CH720N

Do any PHers have recommendations for any of these headphones? Or similar over ear bluetooth headphones with noise cancelling?

My SoundCore 35s picked up cheap from CEX a few years ago are still going strong, occasionally I get tempted by the pricier brands but mine is only used for work meetings so seem hardly worthwhile.

Soundcore Liberty 4 NC's are pretty good. Currently £54 on A mazon.

They're great for the price, but I couldn't help myself and have bought some new Technics earbuds so these are not really getting used apart from when I don't mind them getting broke jobs etc

Thanks, but I’m looking for over ear, I’ve got AirPods for out and about.

There's a pair of Sony-WH-1000XM3's (now discontinued) on Amazon that are superb for not much more...............

That would be some impressive man maths at the £160 they were at the other day - more realistic at the £140 they are now, but still over twice as much as the cheaper Sony WH-CH720N model that I went for.

They only arrived this evening, but so far they feel comfier than my old Soundcore Q20s, being significantly lighter helps.
