MASTER & DYNAMIC MW65
In their words

@honest_vector_96 · Owner-reported

Owned over 2 years · Still using it: yes, daily · Posted

I own a lot of ANC headphones (B&W px7 S2 & S3, Sony, B&O H95) and these are the ones Imalways reach for. I love their sound, their size, their style and, at least around the house, their noise-cancelling is all I need. I bought a second pair.
