As far a noise sound quality for cancelling wireless closed headphones go, the Sony's are the best along with Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 on-ear.

There are of course much better headphones, and I wouldn't call them audiophile headphones, but I haven't found other wireless ones that do noise-cancelling and isolation as well and still manage to sound acceptable.

If in-ear headphones work for you, you can find both very good isolation and excellent sound quality. I like my Shure SE530's for some peace and quiet on airplanes, and often find myself just enjoying the sound of them (or rather the original recording).

I swear by B&W PX. I prefer them to the more expensive B&O H9i, which are also not bad at all.
