Hi guys what are the best ANC full-size headphones wired or wireless that wouldn’t require a base station (like some sennheisers do, although idk if they are ANC)?

Is it XM4 or would AKG N90Q be better?

Or is there something in the audiophile category that has ANC?

Any price (well, let’s say under $2k used, but please lmk if there are ANC options in the $2k+ land)

The Sony WM-1000XM4 has the best ANC and the AKG N90Q has some of the best sound from an ANC. However, if you want the latest-and-greatest, then get this one:

N90Q isn't that good to be honest , there's a reason that you can find it in ebay in really low price
If you're looking the best right now the 5909 is the way to go but I prefer Bose QC35ii or QC45 more , it's ANC is better than 1000xm4 if you ask me and have better comfort too

AFAIK there isn't any high-end ANC headphone that is quite better than the "mainstream" models around 200-400$.
