I have these. They are my set after trying so many. Got them at like 80 or 90 and for that I felt lucky. But headphones seem like such a subjective personal thing.
- the sound quality is what I like mainly. Rich, hear the more subtle instrumentation. These imho beat lower and medium tier stuff out of the water. And are high tier. Whether they are the high tier sound for you, I dont know.
- using on a Samsung and they have Samsung Scaleable Codec for bluetooth which imho helps the sound quality. Also UHQ codec avail too on my S23plus.
- heavier than ideal but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- earcups round instead of earshaped which can be kind of annoying but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- can't turn off ANC but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- ANC is alright. Nothing amazing but good.
- doesn't super blast volume which I like as I am 50 and blasted way too much heavy metal through the decades. My phone literally warning beeped repeatedly when I had a few and was blasting heavy metal for too long on these. But it was great and I usually hate that stuff but it really kept me from too much volume too long.
- had Momentum 4 which I did very much like, but saved lots of dough selling those and getting these.
- these fold inward unlike Momentum 4
- might get another pair of these at this price just for backup

"The always-on active noise-cancelling falls into the 'good-not-great' category, too. Outside noise is diminished but not, strictly speaking, cancelled, and because there's no way to adjust it, let alone turn it off, it's a 'one size fits all' solution. And generally 'one size fits all' doesn't really fit anyone all that well."

Edit: no tax in ohio via HA's website (+2.5% SD cashback) with free 2 day shipping and free returns...giving these a whirl to see if they're any good.

Audio-Technica is a garbage, sound quality is soso. AKG N700NC build quality sucks and ANC is better than nothing, but it sounds very very good when playing music. It is also pretty comfortable. SONY ones are superb for ANC and good for music but not superb. AirPods is good at ANC and well balanced with convenience.
So I cannot stop ordering this one because it is so cheap. I am expecting better build quality with similar high-quality sound. But I am very disappointed. The build quality is better than AKG N700NC, but it is simply not comfortable due to round shape. It does not feel uncomfortable, but it is definitely that comfortable, and I suspect to wear it for hours on a plane is a problem. ANC is again, so so. But the sound quality is very disappointed, the music play back quality is really mediocre now. Also the volume is terrible, max volume is just barely for pop songs.
I am not going to return it (too much work), but I won't buy it if I have known this.
I have fomo bc $60 seems good but on the other hand the battery life is a bit short and I'll definitely find them bulky bc I've used earbuds for the last decade or so.

Many JBL headphones offer 40 or 50 hrs. I haven't heard these but they weigh as much as carrying multiple smartphones so the battery should be bigger. Especially if you consider most people said they don't get loud.
80 hours battery, smaller size and wireless charging on marshall
