First Look: Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones
Possibly the best consumer-level headphones on the market.

I've primarily used in-ear headphones for most of my life and this was my first time investing in over-ear. I'd tried the XM3s briefly before buying the XM4s. I find them soft, and comfortable and legitimately forget I'm wearing them sometimes.
The noise-cancelling is excellent and some of the features - auto-pause when you take them off, auto power-off when paused for more than 3 mins(ish), the ability to lower the volume and temporarily improve external audio intake when you cover one ear with your hand...I find them absolutely worth the investment. My office floor can be really busy, but I've found a great increase in quality of life wearing these.
I didn't have too much time setting them up - but I did take one look at the "scan your ear" feature and roll my eyes so maybe that made it easier. A bit on the pricey side, but I have no regrets
