The black model is sold out, but if you're willing to go for a less conventional shade like purple or blue, you can get these for as low as £139.

Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless - £300 down to £189.99 at John Lewis

More basic in their look, these Sennheisers may not seem as fancy, but as an all-rounder they're pretty good for wireless noise-cancelling headphones.
