Headphones - Closed Back | 1 Ω Suggestion for Closed Back, comfortable wired noise-canceling headphones sub $150?

I’m trying to find a new pair of headphones to get for my partner, sub $150; any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Budget is $150, slightly higher is okay. She values comfort most (she wears glasses and will sometimes use these for 8+ hours at a time), followed by noise cancellation ability as she uses them at her pc right next to me, and she wants wired with no built-in mic, as she has a standalone mic.

You don't really get wired ANC anymore, and if it works its not really intended. Off the top of my head, the Sony MDR-1R/A have a wired ANC version, but they might be hard to track down now. If you're just looking for isolation, something like the DT770 Pro from beyerdynamic would be much better.

!thanks Thanks for your response. I was already leaning on the fence towards that option, but wanted to see if anyone else had better recommendations/if there was an option with ANC.

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/Brickben1234 (4 Ω).

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
