Hi all,
Looking for some headphones for my girlfriend.
- Must be wireless
- Must work well with Android/Microsoft and Apple devices
- Comfortable (headband not too tight), can be used for running
- Noise cancelling would be a huge bonus, but not essential
- Nothing too bulky - on ear is preferable, but over ear is fine if not too big (she liked the fit of the Bose QC35 IIs)
- Not too ugly (ie no big gamer designs with flashy lights)
Budget of around £150, can maybe push to £200 if needed (and ideally from Amazon, as have a £50 voucher)
Currently looking at:
Bose On-ear wireless - Solid brand, design, but no noise cancelling:

AKG N60NC - wireless and noise cancelling, but a bit pricey, and some mixed reviews:

Sony WH-H900N h.ear - wireless and noise cancelling, but reviews say they are pretty big and heavy.

Any other suggestions? If there is anything cheaper that would be great too!
Thanks,
Duane.
Have a look at the Sennheiser Momenteum 2.0 over the ear.
Very good sound quality and very comfy. better sound than the Bose QC35ii.Noise cancelling good but not quite up to the Bose standard.
No idea about running in them thou.
Amazon Germany were doing the qc35 for a bit over £200 a couple of weeks ago, I’d try there first. You can often find stuff cheaper on their sites elsewhere I’ve used .fr and .de before with no problems.
I have a pair of AKG N60NC's for £120 posted. New in box and unopened. No idea what they're like mind.
I wouldn't run in the M2s, but sennheiser do some cheaprr/lighter options that might be better. Probably don't sound as good as the M2s though.
I’ve got the AKGs, sound great, the noise cancelly-ness allowed me to sleep in a hospital ward...
Thanks for replies, sounds like the AKGs are a go-er.
Benji, sent you a PM
