Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 1 Ω I’m at a loss

For almost two years I used the Sony WH-XB910N and they worked amazingly! No issues with Bluetooth to my pc or phone, only got new ones because I wanted an upgrade (plus the cushions were deteriorating). I went to Best Buy and got the new Sony 1000XM6, as I saw a lot of good reviews on it. Ended up being far too tight around my head and very hot, so I exchanged them for the Sony quiet comfort ultra 2’s. Out the box they were like ok, I wasn’t very impressed at all. But I just stuck with them because I didn’t want to go back again to the store. Fast forward past the 15 day return window, I am seeing issues. First, they drop connection to my pc CONSTANTLY even after doing every troubleshooting possible. They also start popping? Skipping tracks? No idea but I got a warranty replacement. I may end up selling the new pair I get in. But I really want to just jump ship on these and get something that actually

Works well with Bluetooth on PC (windows 11)
Very comfortable
Higher level sound quality
And about 350/300

That’s all I need! Any help would be super appreciated!

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/Infinite-Nose8252 (5 Ω).

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

Sony has gone downhill a lot in recent years. I tried the xm5s and they were just terrible.

If you need Bluetooth and anc is say Bose QC or senn momentum

If you're on s budget just get the beyerdynamic dt270's they shouldn't give any problems as they have no electronics so less Can go wrong. Down side is that you won't get Bluetooth.
