Had a pair of Grado SR125's (iirc) prior to my B&W's
Lasted six months. The foam covers literally began to fall apart and all components were plastic and began to dismantle after about 6 months.
Fantastic sound quality but diabolical build quality.
Also open-backed so leaked sound like a sieve.
Not even sure they make noise cancelling models, apart from in-ear.

Same. Friends bought on my recommendation and they rave too.

I got these last year. Paid about £50 for them
But they're less now.
They do a good job

You clearly haven’t tried Grado.

I tested various on ear headphones before I finally bought my Bose QC 35’s, to me they sounded the best, some say Sony are better and B&W get a shout but they didn’t quite cut it for me.

I can't keep the Apple buds in my lugs, but the B&O ones fit perfectly.
I'd recommend them if you find that they fit and they'd be perfect for blotting out background noise, without any music playing.

Sony are way better than Bose sound quality wise, for all things headphone wise check out Head-Fi (links below).
Full-size headphones: https://www.head-fi.org/forums/headphones-full-size.4/
Portable Heasdpones & IEM's: https://www.head-fi.org/forums/portable-headphones-earphones-and-in-ear-monitors.103/
shame you can't wear IEM's, the ultimate in noise-cancelling.

I've got those Bose noise cancelling headphones, but I bought some B&O ear buds that are also noise cancelling, and they are just as good and less obtrusive. I hardly use the Bose ones now.

The little carrying pod is also a recharger for the earphones, gives you a bit extra battery life while you are out

Any reason you need noise cancelling ones?
I have the Sony’s and they are ok but far from my favourite pair of phones for music. Grado kill them but are wired, spilly and not noise cancelling.

I have a pair of Bowers and Wilkins P7's (non noise cancelling) and they're superb.
If the PX7's are anywhere near as good you won't be disappointed:

I will be watching this thread with interest.
I have a splendid pair of Audio Technica wireless headphones for listening to music, but I would really like a brilliant, specialist set of wireless noise-cancelling ones for the commute, office, flights, etc. I don't always want to listen to music to drown out noise. Often I want silence. Especially to drown out my colleagues' incessant fucking rabbiting.
