Hi guys, hoping someone can help me. My HyperX Cloud II wired headset has broken after a lot of use and I'm looking for a replacement/upgrade - ideally closed over-ear wireless headphones with a removable mic. I don't need ANC.

This is not at all what you asked but I got a desktop mic and recommend it, maybe just take the plunge and get one of them + some headphones? Testing it my voice sounds quite a bit better, or rather less painful to listen to myself.

I got a Rode NT-USB Mini which is fairly inexpensive.

I have B&W PX7 S2s and they tick the box for OP's requirements. Very good noise cancelling and they sound great. I got them for 275 CHF so they must be that or less in the US.

Something I like about them vs the Sonys is you can plug them in by USB and they work via their own DAC, I do that when I'm using them with my desktop PC.

Like I mentioned earlier the B&W PX7 S2 are very nice

I can't really comment on your particular head and ear sizes, just that I have normal head and ears and have no issues. I've only had these S2s a few weeks but have worn them all day for work several times, and did the same with the predecessor PX7s for 5 years, they were also very comfortable.

The music I listen to is pretty much all electronic and they sound great, plenty of bass but it's all very clear. In the B&W app you can tune the bass and treble but mine are standard settings.

I don't have anything negative to say about them, really nice headphones.
