Help needed choosing a good pair of noise cancelling earphones (lemm.ee)

I've found a good number of negative reviews of Bose QC 2 and quite a few good things said about Sony WF-1000XM5 so I'm leaning towards buying them but would love to hear the general recommendation on Lemmy first.

I live in a very noisy environment and need earphones for my sleep, when I work or relax, and for listening to podcasts as well as a bit of music. And since sleep is most important for me, I have in-ear comfort as the top priority.

Use earmuffs and in ear monitors. And, to mess with your noisy environment, play drums as well. And I mean genuine, acoustic drums. The earmuffs will certainly help.

Otherwise blast some loud sleeping music with some loudspeakers to potentially put you to sleep when you need it.

Sennheiser always make good quality cans.

Sennheiser, jabber. You’ll need to buy into their up-market products though.
