Need noise cancelling headphones recommendations (self.autism)

I'm really needing new headphones to drown out the noise when I'm out on Public transit or just at home during panic attacks.

Very small requirements for anybody that has some they enjoy.

Bluetooth and works with android devices (preferably without a app aka natively). Has good noise cancelling and can block out most sounds but doesn't have horrible ringing in them (I'm using from the super cheap kinda noise cancelling?) doesn't have to be good with music but preferred though.

In ear or over idc about that

Has to be under 100.

If anybody has recommendations it would be awesome.

Fyi new to Lemmy so forgive me if I don't do some proper "etiquette". Also autism :p

Have a pair of MX4s too. I haven't experienced any other kind of NC headphones so nothing to compare to, but the voice is seriously annoying. What I often do is interrupt it by tapping the side to play/pause media twice.

While they work OotB without the app, there is a bunch of functionality and tweaks locked behind the official app, such as EQ, wind-reduction, and voice-passthru.

I told them as much, and they just said tough shit, essentially. The quality of the voice is also piss poor; why have 'premium' headphones yet you have such low quality (and pointless) sounds? The beeping is also harsh on my ears.

I turned off the touch features as I kept pressing them unintentionally. I won't get the XM5s (or 6, whatever comes next), least of all as they stopped them from being folded up, strangely.

I also turned off the talk-to-speak thing as I just don't need it. If I want to talk, I'll pause my music or take them off. The 'smart' features are really not that clever nor useful. I don't want my music to pause just because I'm wiping sweating off one of the ears.
