I don't know if my flair is right for what I'm looking for, sorry.

I want to upgrade from my cheap Soundcore Space One headphones. The ANC quality is sorely lacking.

I'm looking for something with really good ANC that doesn't produce a hissing sound. The ANC is what's most important to me. I'm trying to escape noisy neighbors, lol.

I'd prefer something with a decent mic for calls. I work from home making calls and just use my main pair of headphones for it.

As for sound quality, most of the music I listen to focuses heavily on vocals, so I need it be clear/crisp and airy. I also want a soundstage with good to excellent instrument/layer separation.

My music has a lot of stringed instruments, too, so I *really* want them to sound good.

One last thing: they need to be foldable.

My budget is $300-ish. Obviously for that price, it's not going to be perfect, but I'll take what I can get.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, I'm trying to decide on new headphones and want to move away from Soundcore Space One. The ANC is crap. I want something higher quality.

My problem is I'm sensitive to small, constant noises and really don't want a hissing sound. It would probably drive me crazier than the noisy neighbors I'm trying to get relief from, lol.

I can only afford the regular QuietComfort, not the Ultra. Does the ANC produce a hissing sound? Online reviews don't seem to address it.

If it does, can anyone recommend something in a similar price range with good ANC that doesn't hiss? Not Sony 1000XM5s, though. They don't fold, and from what I've read, the construction quality is crap.

Thanks for any advice!
