Since my last post, I've found out that speakers under 5k aren't really worth it, so I'll work on saving some money and buy a good setup in 2 years time.
Meanwhile, my mother wanted some wireless earbuds so she took my Realme Air Buds 3 (amazing for commute) and now I'm left without any headphone.

I'm looking for some Wireless Over-Ear headphones or some truly wireless earphones that have a neutral signature, maybe a little heavy on the bass isn't a problem. My usual genres can be found on my spotify profile here. It's mostly rap, metal, indie pop, hindi and some classic instrumentals (beethoven etc).
I'm open to refurbished audio gear especially if it's a cracker deal and in decent-good condition. ANC is a luxury that I would enjoy, but on over-ear headphones passive noise cancelling is enough too.

Currently I have found myself looking at :

  1. The JBL Tune 760NC (reburb) on Amazon that goes for 2.5k INR but reviews say ANC's not good and volume's quite low
  2. Anker Soundcore Life Q10 (new)
  3. Oneodio pro C (bit out of my budget)
  4. Sennheisers hd450se (out of stock rn but goes for 3.5k INR refurbished)
  5. Skullcandy dime 2 (2.6k) TWS but no ANC
  6. Skullcandy JIB 2 (3.5k) better than the dime 2 but still no ANC

I'm also willing to consider IEMs + bluetooth adapters under the same price, though I heard the cheap bluetooth adapters (under 3k) have a hissing noise which I'm not cool with. I currently use an iphone 6s just because it has a headphone jack and is comfortable to use, but I do prefer bluetooth for convenience and comfort during commute.
 
bump + I've changed my budget to 8k INR now so I'm probably going to go for some used Sony WH-XM3s from hpz. Any other suggestions will be appreciated - I've resorted to headphones only now.
 
Senhisser HD 250. I have been using this more than an year now. Good clarity and bass ( not boomy compared to my Sony headphones) It got aptx. Good battery life. It's plastic but sturdy. Comfortable to wear and I wear glasses. I bought it for 3.5k

Thanks for your suggestion mate, but I was looking for something over-ear. Which sony headphones do you have? I've also seen Sennheiser HD 450SE go for about 3.5k used which imo is a better option.

I saw someone selling M50x for about 4-5k a month ago, I'm looking for something wireless with anc for travel - probably going for xm4s or xm3s refurbished.
