I am looking for a comfortable over-ear headphone. The AirPods Max looks great, but is also completely out of my budget. It costs close to $1300 here in Brazil, and I am not willing to spend this kind of money on a headphone. To be honest, I would probably not even be able to tell the difference from a much cheaper model.
So, I am looking for an alternative which costs much, much less, to really put my toe on the water on this kind of headphone, which I basically know very little about. I want a headphone which is very comfortable to use and with large earcups (I have large ears), and this is basically the core of what I want. A good, deep sound, is also welcome. Good battery life and ANC would be nice. I know I will not get AirPods Max quality, but I want to pay some 5-10% of the price.
The Anker models looked really nice to me. My preferred choice would be the Anker Soundcore Life Q30, which costs about $120, has a USB-C connector, lots of battery life and ANC. It looks nice, and there are favorable reviews. Then, there is the Q20, which is about $80, but apparently has a smaller earcup. And there is the Q10, for $65. The Q10 does not have ANC, but it apparently has larger earcups (which seems to be a plus for me) and a USB-C connector.
I was leaning towards one of these models when I came across some Chinese brands which I had not heard about, but which seem to be very well-reviewed on Amazon. A Bluedio T7 costs some $70 and has a 57mm driver (the Anker models have a 40mm driver). A Oneodio Pro-C costs some $50, and has a 50mm driver. User reviews say these models have great sound. However, there are not many specialized websites that review those models.
So, any recommendation? Thanks.
