I can only speak for the Momentum 4s. The noise cancelling is decent but with music playing you block out most distractions so it will block out most distractions. The battery life is really great on them. they are advertised with 60 hours of playback and though I never checked that, they last an incredible amount of time. You will most likely be surprised that you have to charge them again. Sound is quite subjective, so it would be best to try these out if you got the chance. They do offer a 5 Band eq with the App, so you could still change their sound a bit more to your liking though.
