Sony WH-1000XM4 (Rs 21,990)As capable as the newly launched XM5 and vastly superior to the XM3, the Sony WH-1000XM4 has occupied a sweet spot in terms of being a value-for-money buy. With active noise cancellation parallel to that of Apple’s Airpods Max and Sony’s unmatched quality control, this pair will last for many years.

Year after year, the pair remains one of the safest and most reliable choices in the audiophile community. While the ANC may not be as good as Sony, the Bose pair more than makes up for it with its superior sound experience.

Shure AONIC 50 (Rs 32,959) The Shure pair may be a bit on the premium end but makes up for it by offering one of the highest arrays of codecs including SBC, AAC, LDAC and more, some of which are not even seen on Sony. The AONIC 50 is also capable of low-end noise cancellation and offers a slightly neutral sound profile in comparison to most entries here.
