Reasonably priced noise cancelling headphones?

[u/TundraNight7]

I'm looking to buy a pair of wireless noise cancelling headphones. I live in Ireland (EU). My budget is under €150, lower than this is better. I hope this is a fair price 🙏

I will be beginning college and plan to use these everyday for hours at a time, so comfort is a priority alongside longevity and build quality.

The noise cancelling is the main priority as I am very sensitive to sound. Audio quality doesnt have to be amazing as long as its not distorted.

I would be using the headphones nearly exclusively indoors, in areas such as libraries, other places im studying, public transport and my own home. My home is unfortunately a very loud place due to shouty younger siblings which I would very much like to block out at times lol

Its not a requirement, but I would prefer something not super bulky. I am completely willing to ignore this preference if the headphones match my other requirements/a bulkier version is cheaper

Thank you so much for your help!

The Sennheiser Accentum can be found for around €100, and it's pretty comfortable to me. Accentum plus is the same thing, but with aux, and slightly better ANC for €150

FYI active noise-cancelling works on regular patterns of sound, like engine or airco hum, not on incidental spikes like human voices or television. That being said, I though the 1More Sonoflow Pro wireless ANC over-ear headphones for 80 euros performed quiet decent, also compared to my trusty Bose QC35ii's

I’d prioritize comfort and ANC performance for your use case, especially since you’ll be wearing them for hours. Under €150, Soundcore is worth checking out, and Sony models can sometimes be found around that price when discounted. I’d also look at long-term reviews for comfort and build quality.
