      I find poorly implemented anc on cheap headphones to be painful. You’d be better off looking for good sound isolation.

        I got no experience with ANC in over-ears. It’s weird: with in-ears, you get pretty good ANC even in the cheaper <$50 ones. But it seems like you can’t get decent quality anc in cheaper over-ears…

        Slightly rephrasing my question: what’s the least I have to spend for over-ears decent quality and?

      I have tried several, and been thoroughly unimpressed. My advice is to save up and spend the extra money on ANC that’s actually good. Sony and Bose both make EXCELLENT cans with great battery life. QuietComfort from Bose, and the WH-1000XM series from Sony. Don’t cheap out, you’ll get an inferior product.

      You can get them used if you want, usually for under $200. Just replace the ear pads if you’re paranoid about germs. I got a used set of WH-1000XM3’s from a friend and they’ve been amazing, for two years now.

      You can find similar prices on eBay, or here: https://www.unclaimedbaggage.com/collections/headphones#/filter:vendor:Bose/filter:vendor:Sony/filter:ss_filter_type:On$2520Ear$252FOver$2520Ear

      Unclaimed Baggage is a cool website, they sell stuff that people left on airplanes. Looks like there isn’t much in stock at the moment, but check back periodically and you’ll see a lot of good Bose deals.
