Looking to get new headphones since the battery is now shot in my Corsair

I'm looking for:

Mostly listening to music, some online meetings, some single player games (I am not an audio file)
Bluetooth that can save multiple devices
Over ear
Noise cancelling (preferably adjustable, but not necessary)
Microphone (preferred but not necessary)
Under 300 (preferably under 200)

Whenever I search online the lists are always "here is the best for 500 - 1000, or really affordable, but with no features"

Thank you in advanced!

The Sony meet all your criteria. The Bose are expensive but you can get them on sale for $200 occasionally, and they have an optional AUX wire so you can still listen if the battery dies.

Those Sony ones look perfect, thank you!

Do you know if the Bose are significantly better and worth waiting for a sale?

Audeze Maxwell has a PS variant. Also I don't think it has NC
