If you prioritize exceptional sound and comfort for extended listening sessions, and are willing to invest in a high-end option, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 headphones offer excellent noise isolation, sound quality, and are great for air travel due to their active noise cancelling feature. However, they might be bulkier and less suited for exercise. On the other hand, if you are on a budget and prefer something more portable for casual listening and day-to-day activities, the KZ ZSN Pro X earbuds would be a suitable choice, though they lack wireless capability, active noise cancelling, and their mic quality is not as good for calls and meetings.

The Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 has excellent build quality, while the KZ ZSN Pro X has very good build quality.
"The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 offers a near bespoke level of build quality and design with impeccable materials, intuitive controls, and great sound. From an industrial design perspective, they are one of the best wireless headphones we have tested so far."
"The KZ ZSN PRO X offers superb sound for very little money, like under $30 USD. It has some rough edges with a plastic seam on the cable that can rub on your ear, and the bud is a bit large. The tech isn't cutting edge, but new doesn't always equal better. You should try it."
