Classic 80s headphones super light and zero noise isolation so everyone can hear what you are listening to. All this for $2.

If you are WFH, I’d suggest shopping around for the Jabra Speak 510s, they can be found much less than $100

Bose QC25s are really good, and are now about $150. I use them at school for their noise cancelling ability, and they're comfortable after hours of wear.

Under $100 is tough for over the ear. I use the QC 25s ($150) plus the AirMod ($70)add on which turns it wireless. It works well in the office and on the plane. The combination is way cheaper than buying the QC 35. You can find them on Amazon.

If you are willing to spend a little over $200 these are great:

Parrot Zik. Old model is about $100, and they're hands down the best noise cancellers I've ever had. They're also beautiful and look way richer than they are. I was thinking about Bose, but then saw a guy in the row in front of me with these, and had to have them they were so beautiful. I imagined they must have been in the $499 range. Totally impressed.

I have something from Logitech that's connectable via USB and under $100. Great quality for conf calls. I use other headphones for music.
