After a little looking I have a short list, unless I should add something else. Experience/thoughts on any of these?

@rrlev any thoughts on those new Q45 you got?

450BT is out, so down to those or Avantree.

Q45 … Haven’t really done any critical listening or comparing to other phones …
I can tell you that they sound fine in casual listening (i.e. good enough that I haven’t notice anything objectionable). They sit well on my head but I’ve only worn them for an hour or two at a time.

My only complaints at the moment is that they are (IMO) a bit plasticy looking/feeling. I especially don’t like the feel of the headband when I carry them in my hand. The band is spring metal with a cushion attached under it. When carried the metal edge press into your palm and fingers … I notice it every time.
