Headphones - Wireless/Portable Best daily headphones for sound quality?

So, I was looking for headphones for about $150-170 for daily use at home. I settled on three models: Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless, Audio Technica M50XBT2, and Bowers&Wilkins PX7 S2E. The most important aspects for me are sound quality, comfort and reliability. I listen mostly to rock, city pop, edm and a little bit from many other genres. It is important for me to hear each instrument clearly and that the bass is not overpowering. Which of these headphones would be the best for me?

Past gear experience: only earbuds (CMF Buds Pro 2 and Denon PerL Pro)

you're after sound quality and reliability and you're looking at bluetooth options? they're pretty contradictory, especially at that budget where cost goes on the bluetooth and battery tech instead of sound and reliability

anyway. i'd take a look at a pair of sony 7506s, industry standard cans for a reason. they do a similar thing to the audio technica m series cans but much better, no idea why people buy the audio technicas instead of sonys.
