its worth restressing that a 250 pair of noise-canceling headphones is 100 worth the investment the price is obviously high but its an investment for the future do not get a crappy 20 to 100 pair because the amount of audio distractions a good pair can cancel is worth the extra 150     i cannot stress enough how good of an investment my sony wh-1000xm3 headphones were to people with distraction problems in general
