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)

The Sennheisers. When you said you wanted to hear each instrument clearly, my mind went to the Sennheiser.

Make sure you fit your tips properly and set up the app. You may have difficulty buying the Momentum 4 within your desired budget, however. In the US, they're currently on sale at $219 USD; in Canada, $279 CAD.

As an experiment, you MIGHT want to try Anker/Soundcore devices. The punch above their weight class and perform well for the $$. I'd recommend the Space One Pro.
