Which Noise Cancelling Headphones are the best? I have noise canceling headphones, but one speaker broke, one wire came out when I dropped the headphones, I have a cord for the headphones, I couldn't work the wireless, but I don't mind having the cord to work it.

My brother uses Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless and praises both it's sound quality and ANC effectiveness. It as well can work on wire to my knowledge and comes with premium etui
His first model was faulty though, right speaker failed just after 3 weeks (started to generate a lot of noise). Second model he got works so far, albeit only week passed so we'll see

Sony XM5. For me it wins on comfort, build quality, sound quality and noise cancelling.

It depends on how much money you want to spend, what you want to use them for, and how long you will wear them daily. For music I like Sony XM5 headphones, but they are expensive. I use Sony or Beats for streaming videos and tv shows but all seem to work fine. Beats I wouldn't recommend because of how poorly they are constructed lately, last 2 pair started falling apart with 18 months and had to be replaced. Bose are on sale right now, $100 off until end of month. I'm thinking of buying a pair myself as they are rated highest for noise cancelling.

There are cheaper options out there that are also decent choices, it really just depends on your personal preferences. Best Buy and other such stores used to have tester headphones, hopefully they still do as that helps find the headphones which sound best to you.

I recommend that brand (Sennheiser) for headphones, as I have them connected to my metal detectors. They do a great job for what I need them to do.

Can I buy any Sony headphones? They having a sale on Amazon, under $200-$300, is it good to get Apple Care/ Warranty?
