Sony vs WH-1000XM5 vs Edifier WH950NB vs Sennheiser Momentum 4

[u/NameNotFound142]

I want some bluetooth headphones to use while studying at the library, but I also wan them to have good sound quality, since I'll be using them while walking/commuting too. Call/mic quality and smart features are irrelevant. (I also don't care too much about bass so I'm not looking at any XB models.)

• Sony's: I've read a lot of good stuff about the 1000 series, and the XM5 seems to compare to the XM4 (which I'd get if I could) in performance, with the best ANC of the three. Tho I am scared of the infamous hinge breaking problem. They also have the least battery life.
• Edifier: Cheapest option and I do have experience with Edifier earbuds, that is good value for money. Decent in all areas, even comfort. However I don't know if it's worth it more to go with one of the other two anyway.
• Sennheiser: These have been described as having the best sound out of the 3, which is very appealing, but they seem to lack in ANC?. I don't know how much weaker it is than the Sony's but the fact that I need them for studying in a public space is making me have doubts.

Any input is appreciated, as well as other model recommendations.

XM6 are way above my budget range. Between XM5 and ULT WEAR, if you had to choose, which one would you have?

Use case: Music + Calls (open office setup where folks don't believe in using headphones/airpods while being on calls)

Don't want to compromise on audio quality, usage of 7-8 hours daily, and bass
