A college degree is a lot of work. There are hours and hours to spend writing papers, and in my case movie scripts, loads of lectures to get to, and bucket loads of hours of research to do. Clearing out the outside world with noise canceling can make or break your ability to get your work done — and when I was doing my work, this pair of Sony headphones worked wonders.
They're the WH-1000XM4, and while they're not the newest headphones that Sony makes, they're still a very solid pair for the money.

I love these headphones. They might not quite match up with my sonic sensibilities, but they are super comfortable and the noise canceling saved me from the insanity of too much college work.
Great for the library, fab for the bus, and even better for blocking out the noise of housemates having a massive party. Sometimes, I wouldn't even play music — I'd just sit, with the noise canceling on, blocking out the noise of the world around me.
This price makes them much, much cheaper than Apple's venerable AirPods Max, and even cheaper than the current model Sony WH-1000XM5 (the five at the end means they are different and newer). If you want some excellent headphones but don't necessarily want to spend loads of money, then these are a great option.
