Vibing with the beats

Vibing with the beats

After 6 years enjoying the Powerbeats pro, and also keeping the studio buds as spare,I decided to use headphones, and over all the options, I chose the studio pro. (For 199 euros)
Although most of the people on subreddits suggested momentum 4 or wh-1000xm5.
But I guess I got stuck in the ecosystem. Plus this, The second I saw xm5 and beats side by side, the build quality on sony wasn’t feeling as good as beats. So yeah, here wo go again

I have my Powerbeats pro since 2020, and I love everything about it, the sound and the comfort.
But now I have two problems, the left earbud die so soon. And also I feel the lack of anc.

I want to change them, and honestly, I prefer to go for an over ear product.
If I wanted an in-ear airpod, I heard that the power beats pro 2 does not sound as good as original Powerbeats.
On the other hand, I have no idea about studio pro sound profile ( I really like the audio profile on my Powerbeats pro). And I also heard that they are way better options rather than than studio pro (internet metions sennheiser momentum 4 and sony Wh100x5 for example).
Bear in mind the fact that studio pros are on sale for 199€

I would appreciate helps. Grazie!

Hello everyone,
I,ve used to use in-ear headphones for years, specially my beloved Powerbeats pro, but now I'd like to switch to a pair of Bluetooth over-ear headphones.

Use case:
I will mostly use them to listen to music while in bus,city,… , and when i want to focus in library (my Powerbeats lacks anc and that’s suffering me), so active noise cancellation (ANC) and comfort for long sessions are very important to me.
At home, I would also use them for PC gaming, listening to music, watching videos, and voice calls .
And sometimes I use them in gym. (I also play basketball, but as the Powerbeats pro fits well for that, I don’t think im gonna use the headphones on that case)

Sound preferences:
Well, I like the type of sound my Powerbeats pro offers, clean punchy, well-balanced sound with strong, clear bass, rich vocals, and crisp highs. So I like the headphones to deliver a clear sound.

Connectivity:
Bluetooth is mandatory since my phone doesn't have a headphone jack. A plus would be easy switching between devices (Iphone, ipad, pc)

Past experience:
I liked the connectivity of my Powerbeats pro (thanks to its h1 chip)
I'm currently considering models like Beats studio pro (they are on sale, for 199 euros), Sony WH-1000XM5 (250€) and Sennheiser Momentum 4 (189€) , bang & olifsen Beoplay portal xbox (225€ i guess), and Sony WH-1000M6 (290€, if you can convince me that 40 more than mx5 worth it). but I'm open to other suggestions if they fit my needs better.

As an student, I would like to save more, so the price factor is important for me, but I might consider to raise my budget to 300 if there be a really really huge difference in sound quality. Otherwise, I prefer to go for cheaper options.

Thank you for advance for your help!
