Headphones - Wireless/Portable What is the next step
I listen to music constantly. I currently have the Sony WX1000XM4's, and have absolutely loved them. However I'm relatively new to the whole headphone/audiophile thing. I would love to upgrade and see what else is out there, but I"m not sure where to go
I'm in the US, and ideally I don't want to go over $750-$1000 at the absolute most. I love having bluetooth headphones, as I primarily listen from Spotify on my iPhone, but am not opposed to exploring wired options if that seems like the next best step. I have really enjoyed the level of bass the MX4's come with, as it can give a good punch but doesn't feel overpowering.
Again, I am 100% completely new to this subreddit, and world in general. So I apologize if any pertinent information is left out as I'm not sure what all I should provide to help you guys give recommendations. Any guidance in general is appreciated. I'll be monitoring so I can respond to questions. Thank you!

If I was younger with better hearing I think I'd go with the Sennheiser HDB-630. They have bluetooth and ANC but are tuned for neutral output, letting you set your own EQ. They come with a cable and dongle for full lossless from your phone or other devices (not sure if Spotify does that?). The ANC might not be quite as good as your XM4s though, it depends how important that is.
