I'm looking for new headphones, I've been using the Bose QC (first gen) for a few years, and they've been great. But, they're showing their age and I'm due for an upgrade.

Looking for a set of over the ear headphones that are good for both music and calls. I'm looking for something with good noise cancelling for both the background noise that I hear, but also cancels background noise in the microphone. This is one area the Bose QC's I have are lacking.

Was a Bose loyalist for 10+ years, but got the latest AirPod pros recently. Highly recommend

Ahhh, I see. I have that same issue with most other earphones.

In that case, you may want to consider open-back over ear style headphones. So much more breathable

Anyone have good experience with the Sonos Ace?

I enjoy them (I thought my Bose 700s were better) but I also love them for the ability to sync tv audio late at night so that I don’t wake people up

You can snag a pair on sale for pretty cheap nowadays I think

There are also some good B&W and PSB that are better value than the B&O
