A 6.7 puts its noise isolation / ANC in the top half of over-ear headphones we've measured.
Measured on 86 of the 240 we've cataloged.
below average for over-ear headphones — based on 150 of 240 we've cataloged.
Usb-c is the most common — on 87% of the 135 over-ear headphones we've cataloged (of 240).
5 appears on 20% of the 145 over-ear headphones we've cataloged (of 240).
Bluetooth appears on 44% of the 215 over-ear headphones we've cataloged (of 240).
For most casual listeners, these are the best bang for your buck headphones. The combination of great isolation and noise cancellation, decent sound, and premium features is a sight for sore eyes in the sub-$100 headphone category.

Measured frequency response (dB) against the SoundGuys house target — the dashed curve. The closer the measured line tracks the target, the more neutral the tuning; peaks ride above the target, dips fall below it.
