Looking for a good quality pair of over ear headphones to listen to music and podcasts on my bus and train home. I’ve got a big ass head so something adjustable and preferably Bluetooth. My budget is $150 or so.

This is going to get me put on a list of bourgeois scum for saying this but…
I also own a part of Liberty 4 earbuds and I’m very happy with them. For me with my auditory sensitivity the noise cancelling is not nearly as good as what you get from QC45s (I think?) or the Sony XM4s but they’re still very good. Like you, I think they aren’t perfect but they do a good job and I do not regret getting them in the slightest.
In my defense, I’m super heat sensitive as well and I live in a place that has brutal summers so often I have to weigh up whether I’m better off overheating with the XM4s or if I deal with more noise but being significantly cooler wearing the earbuds. It doesn’t seem like it from the outside but to me they are both accessibility devices. Trust me when I say that I sincerely wish that I didn’t have the need for owning both.
That totally sounds like an accessibility device IMO, entertainment should be accessible. The main issue I have with them is the mic quality is bad (apparently) to the listener when I’m in a call during a walk. Solution, I just don’t call people with them 🫡
Yeah most of the buds have poor mic quality. I think the ones that worked best were life note I think, they had lil sticks to maneuver the buds in and out kind of like air pods and those in particular had the best mic quality out the few soundcore buds I’ve had and were like $50 I think. Again for the price points the sound quality is fantastic.
