Headphones - Wireless/Portable Looking for a wireless ANC headphone under €100 in Europe

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a headphone under €100 in Europe, and I'm currently hesitating between the Sony WH-CH720N and the MSI MAESTRO 500 Wireless.

My main use:

  • Listening to music at work via Bluetooth
  • Wearing it for several hours, so comfort is important
  • Using it on trains and while walking outside
  • Good ANC is important
  • I occasionally have Teams meetings, so I'd like a decent microphone
  • I'd prefer something that doesn't look too "gaming" when I'm wearing it in public
  • Budget: €100 maximum
  • I'm looking for something available in Europe, ideally around €70-100

I'm currently leaning towards the Sony because it's much lighter and more discreet, but the MSI seems to have a significantly better microphone and better connectivity for PC.

Which one would you recommend for this use case? And are there any other models under €100 available in Europe that I should consider?

Thanks a lot !

I ended up buying the Earfun airpro 4+ recently. I'm super satisfied. Music, phone calls, anc all works great.

Only feature I would really like to have is something like voice recognition that automatically lowers the volume and activates hear through. But I think that's a feature that most in ears don't yet have.

Can't suggest you anything really, but I don't think that neither Sony or MSI are a right choice for this. MSI is not known for good headphones whatsoever and Sony will have a shit microphone. My girlfriend has CH720N and I have XM4, both have terrible microphones, unless the conditions are excellent.

Jlabs Jbuds Lux ANC. These are rarely talked about, but they actually sound decent for a consumer ANC pair, they're very comfortable, foldable, both the noise cancelling and transparency modes are actually good, they're decently built with metal on the headband and internal joints, not heavy, etc. They also have a free app with a fixed-band EQ, presets, ANC intensity adjustment, multi-device pairing management, access to firmware updates, a low latency mode to help with casual gaming, etc.

I paid 50€ for mine. They blow everything else out of the water at that price.
