Headphone Recommenations


     I am interested in purchasing headphones and have done some research and auditioning.  I would like to purchase over-ear, Bluetooth with ability to use a cable, and  price range $500 - $700. I'm not sure how important noise cancelling is because I don't want it to interfere with sound quality. I have listened to Sony, Bose, and Sennheiser in my price range.  I enjoy all types of music ranging from Acoustic Guitar to Classical.  
    Thank you for any suggestions and recommendations.

Thanks for the information.  I am leaning towards the Sony WH1000xm3.  There are so many different brands ie. Grado, Audio-Technica, Bose, Beyerdynamic, Focal,  Audeze, Jabra and more.  I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on some of the or other brands. 


Thank you for the responses. I am interested in Bluetooth headphones for several reasons. Some of these reasons may be out of ignorance of headphones or what may be available. 
* My wife and I live in a smaller ranch home and she doesn't always care for the music I play or the volume that I may play it at.  I would like to listen to music without bothering her. Keep peace in the family.
*  I play guitar and they would come in useful for the same reason as stated above.
* Some of the headphones come with a cable and I will be able to connect to our laptop and listen to music, I think the Dragonfly Red or Cobalt would improve the quality of the sound.
* I am under the impression that Bluetooth technology has improved and therefore the overall headphone response is improved.
* The headphones are one option. 
My total system is the following:
-Sonos Connect:Amp, Sonos Soundbar, Sonos Subwoofer, Sonos Pay 5, Gen. 1
-Monitor Audio Silver Six Floorstanding Speakers, wired to the Sonos connect Amp.
-Rega Planar 1
-I have a very old Kyocera CD player, I thought I could transfer my CD collection to an external hard drive. Not sure about this.
     As you can tell this is not a high end system but it servers several purposes.
     One of my other options is to purchase an integrated amp that will improve the sound quality of the wired speakers, still be able to use my Sonos system, and maybe keep the volume down a little.
     This probably sounds a little all over the place, the bottom line is I like to listen to music with an affordable quality of sound and I thought the headphones would be a good option.

Thanks very much for taking the time to respond and offer suggestions.
