If you prioritize superior sound quality, comfort, and active noise canceling for travel or focused listening, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 is an excellent choice, though it comes at a high-end price. For day-to-day use including calls and meetings, the Soundcore Space One, while not on par with the Beoplay H95's premium performance, offers good overall quality and active noise canceling at a more accessible price. Both models are suitable for varied environments and come with a foldable design and a detachable cable, but the Beoplay H95 has longer battery life which may be crucial for extended use without charging.

"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 Anker Soundcore Space One noise-cancelling headphones are stylish, comfortable, and affordable. They offer better active noise cancellation than we expect for the price, and their sculpted audio impresses thanks to the adjustable EQ and support for the hi-res LDAC codec. Overall, they’re an excellent value and well worth your attention if you're on a budget."
