If you're looking for top-notch sound for gaming, TV, and video, along with active noise cancelling for air travel, the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro would suit you well; they also offer technology to track your focus, which could enhance productivity. However, they're not ideal for exercise due to their size and weight. On the other hand, the Moondrop Nekocake is more budget-friendly, portable, and great for casual listening and exercise, but they fall short in sound quality for critical listening and have poor microphone quality, making them less suitable for calls and gaming. The lack of active noise cancelling also makes the Nekocake less optimal for noisy environments. Give Feedback
