A friend of mine has it and likes them a lot. Personally, I got myself sony wh1000xm3 ( 400+tax) and have been beyond happy. The noise cancellation is amazing from noise to near silence in 1 second. I tried it once and could not go back. Perhaps not for people who just listen music at home in quiet environments though as there are better headsets out there at better $$ with no ANC.

Pretty solid price in this market. I enjoy my M-100s, but this is a decent deal for some quality cans
Please don't ask or beg for "thanks". Don't act like this is Facebook. If someone found your post helpful, let them decide if they want to make that click. The more you beg, the less you'll get. Cheers

You're comparing two grossly different headphones.

Hardly comparing, he's just flexing.

Decent budget headphones, the M40 are better if you want less of a v shape.

I'm not a headphones person but looking for a good wireless noice cancelling headphone for a gift.
What would be the good choice for $150 or less?

Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2 when on sale is under $150 and has good reviews.

Nope. The NC is poor on the Backbeat Pro 2. There are many other NC headphones that are better at even lower prices. I recently bought Anker soundcore NC which has better NC.

As always, look at www.rtings.com for models.

I got the Sony 950N1's for around $80 on eBay with a code but you should be able to get them for under $100 currently.

For the price the sound quality and NC is very good.

To repeat myself: I friend of mine has the m50x and he likes them. I tried them for a day along with the Sony's and decided to go with Sony due to ANC as my home environment is noisy and these don't cancel any ambient noise which forces you to up the volume and kill your ears... Plus I travel a lot, which makes ANC invaluable on planes, city, noisy motels, etc.
Soundwise, I found m50x to be the same or better than Sony and this is why I mentioned that if ANC is not needed then no reason to spend $500 as these are very very comparable. at the price posted, those are great headphones in the range under $200

Found them a bit tinny, and noise cancellation over-aggressive.

I think sennheiser hd 559 are better for less money at regular price https://www.amazon.ca/Sennheiser-HD-559 ... B01L1IIEKM

m50x are for using on the bus or something, they fold up to be slightly portable and they are closed for less sound leakage and isolation. but the sennheisers are better headphones
