If you prioritize sound quality, durability, and features like active noise canceling (ANC) and are willing to invest in a high-end product, the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro would be a great choice, especially for focused music listening, calls, gaming, or TV and video sessions. They offer very good noise isolation, an AI technology for tracking focus and mental health, and an impressive overall sound quality, although they might not be the best for exercising due to their size and weight. In contrast, Soundcore Space Q45, while being much less expensive, also offers very good noise isolation and sound quality but tends to fall short for calls, gaming, and professional use; however, they are lighter and more compact, making them suitable for travel and potentially better for exercise. If budget is a concern and you're looking for good ANC and satisfactory sound for casual use, the Soundcore Space Q45 would be a solid, more affordable choice. Give Feedback

"The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
