   Anyone have Over-Ear Headphones recommendations for under approx €200?

   Mostly for travelling, so Bluetooth ideal but I’ll take wired.

     Is quality/fullness of sound important? If not, would Aftershokz bone conduction headphones be an option?

     I find them useful for walking/cycling while also being able to still hear what's going on around me at the same time.

     But if you're looking for more of an immersive sound, then maybe consider other options.

     @clickhere It would be more when I am travelling on the bus/plane so immersion would be better. I was looking at the Sony WH-XB910N but I am always curious about the quality of the sound that I get for the money.

     @padraig can't remember where I got these but they're great. I think they were more than €200 though.

     @padraig Ah, okay. Maybe avoid Aftershokz!

     It's years ago, but I had Sony over-ear headphones in the past, which were really good, so possibly still a solid bet these days.

     If you don't get feedback on those particular ones here, maybe googling a few different reviews will help give an indication?

     @padraig @clickhere https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B09FKG4PP3?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details - which I see is the ones you mentioned above - are working great for me. Comfortable, great sound, great battery life, and noise-cancelling, which is great for travel.

     @padraig @clickhere I haven’t tried the Sonys. I have a deep love for my Bose QC25’s. The sound is good but the noise cancellation is amazing - always blown away if I remove the mid-flight by the wall of noise. A brief look says the QC45’s are over budget but maybe one to keep any eye out for a bargain.

     @padraig had a pair of Sennheiser 450BT nose cancelling. . Nice sound. Lost them at airport security in Poland. Plan to replace like for like.
