I've been really loyal to the Bose brand — and not blindly either. Their quality has always been far and away better than most of the competition that I've tried over the years. For the longest time I've used their Quiet Comfort headphones for over ten years — replacing the ear cover/padding twice because they still sounded so amazing after all that time.
I finally decided to upgrade to something that had a removable stereo cable that could easily be replaced and have been pleasantly surprised at both how comfortable these headphones are and how clear and warm the signal is. My *only* complaint is that these headphones aren't exactly the right choice for video conferencing for Teams. I've found that the compression that takes place on some of those video conferences has this nearly intangible undercurrent feeling, like a pulsing or throbbing signal when people are talking (both with and without the noise cancellation engaged). So it becomes a little painful to use these at times for video conferencing.
They are, however, my go-to for listening to music as well as when I'm doing multitrack recording (though I don't exclusively rely on them for recording because they're a little too forgiving of some frequencies and tend to smooth over some frequencies that would normally be offensive or irritating on other audio devices or speakers).
Worth the money for listening to music. Probably get something else for video conferencing.

Replaceable Battery + Easy BT Conversion
I like the fact that this version of the Bose NC product doesn't have to go to landfill when the battery goes bad. I bought a Li rechargeable battery for these that works great. For another $20 bucks BT Conversion is easy. I don't plan to buy another pair any time soon. I've had mine for over 4 years now.
