Ask HN: Which headphones are you using?

I'm looking to get some high(er) quality headphones for everyday use.

Either for commuting or traveling, but also for sitting at my desk and trying to deeply focus on something or casual music listening outside in the nature.

A friend told me to look for noise cancelling headphones as they are great for traveling and besides that to buy something from "the big brands" like Sony or Bose.

Not sure if that really helps in case something is broken, but I think they still have a name to lose and are eager to produce good quality.

I had a look at the "Bose QuietComfort 35" and they look good to me, on the other hand Sony has some for around 100 Euro ("Sony WH-CH700N") with noise cancellation, too. Not sure if double or triple the price for the Bose gets me a long way or if I should just buy new ones in a few years when the ones from Sony are broken down.

So: Which headphones does HN recommend for everyday use?
