Recently got some over-ear Bluetooth headphones with active noise cancelling for 150 euro.

I knew the audio quality would be worse than with my cabled studio headphones, but the ANC is just amazing in noisy environments - especially while on public transport. I used to hate taking the train for longer rides because it'd be hit or miss, but with the headphones I'm actually looking up to it. Also looking up to trying them on a flight.

Bose Quietcomfort Headphones
They sadly only support the old SBC Bluetooth codec, but their wearing comfort is extremely high which was an important factor for me, and ANC is very good. They do seem to support SBC-XQ though.

  Are they hot? I have the Sony wh-1000xm4 and they're amazing, but unfortunately, because how tightly the seal off my ears, they regularly get too warm and uncomfortable.

  They don't feel hot while just wearing them, but I did notice I get sweaty if I'm using them on a hike/moderate exercise - which is probably to be expected though.
  I'd say wearing comfort is great, I can wear them for hours and barely notice I have them on. I didn't use them in warmer (summer) temperatures yet though.
