So almost 2 years ago I asked about upgrading my plantronics backbeat pro 2’s and people suggested I hold them until the wheels fall off

Well, now the wheels are falling off. Headband is coming apart.
What would be a modern day upgrade you’d recommend?
Based on what I’ve seen… It would seem the momentum 4 (I’ve seen them regularly under 200 usd new on reseller sites) or momentum 5 from sennheiser would be a good choice but curious to know if this community has a different or better recommendation.
What is the Bose sound?
People like to say stuff like “no highs, no lows, must be Bose”.
Bose has earned a reputation for selling high-priced devices that don’t always live up to the hype. That doesn’t mean they’re bad, but the fancy audiophile people like to piss on them.
Most people who don’t own $30k stereo systems are pretty happy and they still lead the pack with their active noise cancelling.
It would be more accurate to say that most people are happy with Bose that haven’t used better sounding speakers/headphones. You can spend less and get better sound, Bose isn’t cheap.
There’s a specific space or soundstage that it produces and lower mid punch with a little dullness in the mids and highs but still good color.
Looks like somebody mapped the sound profile. Not sure if it fits how I hear them.
