I just need some headphones with ANC for studies. All the ones I have looked at apparently has the sturdiness of a toothpick. Namely the Sony XM5 and the Sony ULT, the momentum 4 apparently has both bad build quality and other issues...

I would like a pair that is no more expensive than the XM5, which is a little over 300 usd. The only pair I have found thus far that might fit the bill are B&2 PX7 S2E. I haven't paid attention to bluetooth headphones much so I hope someone more knowledgeable than me can help.

If you think the XM5 are not sturdy then you wont find any wireless bluetooth headphones that meet your needs. Just go with some decent IEMs.

I can't speak of it personally. I have seen they have a class action lawsuit building towards them due to all the broken hinges
