Maybe it's just because I'm an audio engineer so I was able to EQ them to my taste, but I love my WH-1000XM4 cans. But yeah, their studio cans are both top tier and dirt cheap. MDR-7506, they're like $80 and generally sound like a million bucks because they're used in basically every single recording studio as reference headphones.
Seems like they’re closer to $110 these days
Makes sense, inflation and tariffs
That's how I eqed the set I borrowed. I had no eq in Deezer and it was a downloaded flac. It still wasn't great but better than stock.
Maybe. My current set is a tired pair of Monoprice BT600ANC. I found that the high end of the xm4 lacking compared to the bt600anc. Noise canceling was about the same level as the 600anc.
