I just sold my Sony MDR-ZX770BN. I felt like for the price point they were not worth it. The noise cancellation feature was average at best and most of all they were extremely uncomfortable for more than a couple of hours. As someone with relatively small ears I felt like I was wearing cheap nasty industrial grade earmuffs that work handed to me. Downright painful after a couple of hours. Feels like they're just skating by on brand name now.

Anyway, I'm now looking for some new headphones. Over the ear necessary. My requirements are:

Bluetooth
Comfortable
Good Battery Life
Noise Cancellation

In that order.

My absolute max budget is $150 but I'm willing to stretch a but if I find a killer deal. I understand the Bose QC series are the top of the line but I think at their price point I'd be fast approaching the dollar value diminishing returns that is typical of high end gear.

So to sum up I want something that provides value for money. I'll be using the headphones 90% of the time in bed watching movies or listening to music from my laptop or tablet, but I'd like the noise cancelling to be available if possible for the odd occasions when I take flights etc, but this is not 100% essential.

Take a look at the Plantronics Backbeat Pro.  While there are other bluetooth headphones to consider, these ended up being the best option for me when used for 70% music and 30% conference calls.  We're those for several hours a day has been good for me so far and I've been surprised by the music quality.
