Sony WH-CH720N wins on weight (192g) and ANC quality. The Anker Q45 at $79 beats headphones twice its price on noise reduction. In published lab tests the batteries actually beat their ratings — the CH720N clocks 40+ hours with ANC on.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 is that rare headset whose 80-hour battery rating an independent lab beat — 83h 42m to cutoff. Plus the wired pick that makes wireless look overpriced.
