... Would also use (in my covid-free dreams) for travel so noise cancelling. Wife and I would use for for TV: Larks and Owls are often awake when the other is sleeping and our home is small.

Require: no bass boom, clear mids and highs, don't mind a touch of warmth.

Sennheiser HD 450BT? Just looking at what I can get here. Unable to audition

Anyway, sharing headphones, these days, seems about as hygienic as swapping underwear :/

That's probably the most I'd want to spend.

Not sure whether relative pricing is similar on my end but the Bose SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless Headphones II (and I thought Sony's names were bad) is in the same ballpark and I vaguely remember trying them at a store once before COVID happened. Liked it, but I happen to be a fan of bass. Not too thick, though.

Really enjoy their older QC25 for the price as well, and the ANC is ace.

SQ wise Sennheiser are very decent even surprising for a BT unit. Issues are with quite low volume and subpar pads stitching. While the volume wasn't a concern to me, the stitch threads came off within 2 months of use. But this was for a 4.40 and 450 looks almost the same

@Abhishek Chowdhary I'd describe the inexpensive RHA earbuds I'm using now for bedtime etc as being low-volume, but it is enough for me: maybe the volume would be ok.

Hardly high-end, but... these are still too expensive for lousy build (stitch) quality, though. Did you make a warranty claim?

Didn't bother with warranty claims, gave the 4.4 in family. Bought a philips taph850bk, horrible in every sense. Heavy, creaky , massive bass boost , torturing treble. Glowing reviews though :)
