I might not be in the correct community, but maybe someone can help me anyways.

I'm planning to buy over-ears that have a nice design and the best possible transparency and ANC. Sound quality doesn't matter that much and I only wanna listen over AAC and Bluetooth. I don't want the headphones to crunch and feel cheap. My budget is 200€. Does anyone know a pair of headphones that fulfill these requirements?

Wow, that's a high budget. My soundpeats earbuds cost £60, and seem to work fine for me. But I am not a connoisseur of earbuds, I just got something that had ANC and a long battery life.

I mean the AirPods Max cost over 600€ and the latest and greatest XM5's by Sony cost around 300€. I'm just looking for headphones that have a really good design and great ANC/Ambient.

First of all, Apple always prices things 4 times their actual worth. But I would recommend the Soundpeats £60 headphones, personally haven't had any problems and the ANC works well. Plus you can easily control the music with touches to the earbuds.

Maybe you can find a deal for one of the earlier xm-s. Alternatively Bose has pretty good nc headphones, maybe you can find qc 35 on sale around that price (probably refurbished)
