Recent traveling has led me to look for a new comfortable pair of noise cancelling headphones.
The current pair of Plantronics work well but squash rather than surround my ears and are definitely not heatwave comfy with their artificial leather ear pads. Inner ear pad diam. approx. 5cm
The pair of Beyer 990 Pro headphones which I use with the iMac are comfortable and fit around my ears but are neither bluetooth nor noise cancelling to say nothing of being open-backed. Inner ear pad diam. approx. 6cm.
The Sennheiser PXC 550 II would probably have been adequate but they seem to be on the way out (sure indicator - Sennheiser no longer list the replacement ear pads on their official French site and the phones are "out of stock").
Suggestions?
Budget - up to 400€
