Hi all. So the next few months I have a lot of plane trips planned (two intercontinental) and are looking into getting a good pair of NC headphones. I want them to be wireless and mic capable, so I can use them at work. I own a pair of Beyer DT990s that I use regularly, and are extremely happy with them. Specially in regards to comfort. The velour pads are incredible and velour preferred for noise canceling headset, but I dont know if velour pads are available on noise canceling headsets.
Use will be podcasts, videos and some music.
What I am considering:
Bose QuietComfort 35:
While I have not tried the QuietComfort 35, I have tried earlier versions of the Bose Noise canceling cans. And although it works fine, it gives me the impression that my head is in a vacuum. I understand that this varies from person to person. Maybe my ear canal does not suit those cans.
Denon AH-GC20:
I have tried the Denons in store and liked them. They give a nice quality impression and are cheaper than the rest. I've heard that the NC capabilities are below Bose, but I like the headset better. Also the NC feels comfortable on my ears.
Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless:
I've had this set on my head for like 3 minutes and liked it. Specially the overall quality impression. NC capabilites are maybe below Bose here as well, but the overall quality levels are higher. NC feels comfortable.
Sony MDR-1000X:
These are new to the marked and are praised in the tests I have read. But I have not tried them and dont know how they feels on my ears.
I am looking for impressions on these headsets and reflections on what works and what does not. Comfort are important, more important than "the best noise canceling capabilities". Not getting warm on the head and comfortable on long workdays or flights are valuable. As is the easiness of connection to my phone

Thanks.
