Sony WH-1000XM5 £379

This boasts the best ANC I’ve experienced. Dead quiet when in full ANC mode, they are also adjustable to enable you to bring in ambient sound; plus, you can also set up speak-to-chat via the Sony headphone app, which reduces both music volume and ANC when you say something. Remove them, and music pauses instantly too. At 250g, they’re light for over-ear headphones and the vegan leatherette ear cups and headband are extremely comfortable. As with the Px7 S2, they come with a generous 30hr battery. sony.co.uk
