Not at all saying that the APM are a bad headphone. To me the momentum is better sq wise (not anc wise of course ). Keep in mind that I'm mostly over Bluetooth, using an android device.

Loving my Bathys after about 10 hrs use, I’ve read that they get better and better with a burn in, one reviewer said all focal headphones need 300 hrs to sound their best lol

Great info in this thread. Looking for a travel headphone until the APM2 comes out, think I’m going with the Px7 s2e. I’m full Apple environment, but the complaints with problems, price, and age steer me away from them.

For travel exclusively, I really think the Bose QuietComfort Ultra are the best. So light and comfortable. Tiny case. Excellent ANC. Good mic array for conversation in loud environments. Good enough sound for the plane and airport. Key is to find them on sale for under $300.

I would like to draw your attention to Bluetooth headphones Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro.
They have very good sound quality.
You need a source with SSC support (Samsung Seamless Codec).

I ordered the PX7 S2e from Amazon today to see how they sound. I plan on sending them back after testing them out because the APM2 will be a lot more useful to me since I am fully in the Apple ecosystem.

If I could find the Bose Ultra for under $300, I would jump on them. I got a “like new” pair of B&W for $315 on Amazon. The Bose ones were all still close to $400

after reading all 31 pages of this thread, I want to thank @Maukey and all the other contributors on their opinions on ANC headphones. I plan on trying out the H95 (can be found around $500 used on amazon) and maybe the 5909s after I test the Px7 S2e. I would like to try the Px8 as well. EDIT: and the Bathys too

I don't see myself going the iO-12 or Solitare T route since I don't expect FLAC quality over BT using an iPhone, but I do want quality sound with comprable ANC functionality. I might look into the Bose QC Ultra as well. I thought about traveling with my Maxwells, but 1) they seem too big to travel with and 2) they dont offer any type of ANC. I do love how they sound with music after EQing them in the Audeze app.

FWIW: I still love my H95 and haven't looked elsewhere for SQ increments (for ANC you may prefer the Sony's or Bose).

I actually made a deal with a fellow head fi user to buy his H95s. I did some more research and I really like how they function and SQ is important to me.

I know that this thread is principally about ANC headphones, but I think some people visiting this thread will maybe having some interest in the new Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. This new earphones are not ANC earphones (like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds or the Apple AirPods Pro), and they don't going inside your ears, they are the new Bose competition for the still very popular old open-style AirPods that now are in their 3rd generation).

Today is my fourth day with this earphones and I deciding starting a thread about this product 2 days ago because of the very positive impressions I have in all this days -- here is the link for the thread: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/new-bose-ultra-open-earbuds.972598/#post-18092909

Thanks Angelom! I'm actually very interested in these

How do you like them?

Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner.
i remember seeing a notification about the post, thinking I'd reply later and totally forgot till I logged in today.
Anyway, I'm honestly disapointed in them.
I don't mind eqing Headphones, and do it often.
But something about the M4u 9 really bugs me.
There is a lot of energy in some treble regions and some in the area around 125K that is especially annoying to my ears.
I almost wonder if I have a deffective pair, but haven't had a chance to get in touch with PSB and share thoughts with them.
My initial thought was just to save for the IO12.
I wish I had.
I am now though.
