Hi, I am looking for a set of over the ear headphones with the following features:

Bluetooth wireless Charges and can also use wired audio over USB-C Don’t care if it has a mic or not (for calls) ANC is nice but not 100% necessary Budget conscious price

As an example, the Beats Pro has all the features I am looking for but is a bit too pricey for me. Any suggestions?

Perhaps the Monoprice BT-600ANC: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=41232

I haven't used this one, but Monoprice is commonly recommended for budget wireless headphones and this one seems to match your desires features.

Few years back I scooped up a set of Bowers & Wilkins PX Headphones for around $250 (new, old stock inventory). They are absolutely epic luxury headphones with high quality features like real leather headband, kevlar fabrics, and my favorite - the drivers are angled 15 degrees off-angle to physically "widen" the sound stage - the results are amazing. They have become my go-to headphones for auditioning new songs.

Best of all they do have USB-C audio AND an aux jack.

I'll admit the ANC features are lackluster and call quality is nothing fantastic - but for audio, they're an amazing set of headphones.

If my B&W PX (first gen) headphones ever failed, I'd be looking for another set of PX headphones (although maybe a newer model like the PX7 or PX8)
