  • 3.Bose QuietComfort Headphones — Lighter, simpler, and often better value than the Ultra; exceptionally comfortable.
  • 4.Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless — Best battery life at up to roughly 60 hours, with strong sound and effective ANC.
  • 5.Sony WH-1000XM5 — Still superb for flying and often discounted, though less compact than the XM6.
