I enjoy ... WH-xb910n

It's ANC is good, audio sucks and the space in the earcups is too small, ears press up again the mesh.
r/positive
for studio work I think the MM-500 would work better... mixes made on the headphones would translate well to his speakers.
r/neutral
XM6 have better ANC for low consistent sound, but I don't think anything competes with Apple for higher-pitched, intermittent noises
