Bluetooth noise cancelling over ear buying advice
I've got a 15-year old kid with an iphone. They want Bluetooth over the ear headphones that employ noise cancelling. Is a budget of $150 reasonable to get something of decent quality?
Budget and location - Under $150 USD. Amazon. B&H Photo Video. Sweetwater. Any other US-based retailers.
How the gear will be used - Connected via Bluetooth to an iphone. Main purpose is to block out distracting noises while listening to tswift via spotify when they are doing their homework.
Preferred tonal balance - I think an "average listening" profile for the type of music is fine.
Past gear experience - Limited. They love their Apple Airpods --- the cheaper, older generation ones. I love my Sennheiser HD380 Pro's. I don't want to buy a $60 random pair from Amazon, just looking for a step up in quality.
Last but not least, if there are some over-the-ear headphones that feature high isolation, then I wonder if noise cancelling is really a necessary feature.
