Im not trying to argue or be obstinate and i do appreciate the advice (and ill consider the IEMs myself) but $350+ is far too much for even me much less someone whos not into these things. My biggest purchase as a budget hobbyist were sundaras on sale for $275 and that's endgame for a while. I basically just told my dad that the tech is well out of his price range for now. And he can't wear IEMs due to cauliflower ear so that's a bummer.

Oh, that’s unfortunate. Those Lenovo earbuds are the cheapest ANC I’ve seen.

We actually just ordered my dad a pair of Sennheiser HD 450BT on sale. There are shortcomings but we'll see how it goes. Also I'm not the one who downvoted you haha.

Heh, don’t much care of internet points, but I do hope he likes it! Apparently comfort isn’t that great, but the ANC is alright and the sound is good.

I did read about the comfort concerns so I'm probably going to order some Brainwavez replacement pads as it seems they're compatible. Hope it works out or maybe ill end with his pair hahah

Oh those I heard are good. Hopefully it fits well and don't hurt his ears! I heard Wick Cushions works well too, and is available on Amazon.

Nice, ill have to try to figure which might have the nicest feel while also maintaining the integrity of the ANC.
