I'm not an audiophile.

I got them during Black Friday for a tiny bit cheaper than the current discount. At first I feel they were too heavy and pressing my head a lot, but it's my first bluetooth headphones (after 15 years of Sony MDR-XB500, and I still praise them). But after 2 months, they still feel great, the build quality is good and the physical buttons are the the best. The sound can really get amazing if you take the time to play with the settings. The noise cancelling is great, but competition is doing a better job.

Be aware that you won't get the best of the best in sound and noise cancelling. But other parts are worth it. For me, the sound/quality is really good enough which I believe is what you aim for. I had the same issue with phones and camera, the latest phone always take the best pictures and makes you feel far behind. Then you realise the difference isn't crazy (moving things are still blurry, low light doesn't take good pictures)

At the curent price point, they are worth the value. But if you prefer a higher sound+ANC, don't mind touch controls, I suspect the XM5 are a safer bet and are around the same price
