The Best Wireless Headphones

Wireless headphones allow you to listen to podcasts or music on the go without being tied to your audio device. The best headphones can connect wirelessly to your phone, laptop or record player using Bluetooth or another protocol.

They also come with a powerful active noise cancellation system that effortlessly cuts down the low rumble of bus engines or chatty coworkers. They're also incredibly comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

1. Sony WH-1000XM5

The WH1000XM5s blootooth headphones are Sony's flagship. They're an improvement over the XM4s, offering better noise cancelling and intelligent features. The headphones are a bit more expensive but have an elegant design and feel. These headphones are an excellent choice for commuters or frequent travellers.

The new headphones have an elegant minimalist design, made from recycled plastic. They're also lighter than the predecessors. The headband has been cushioned with soft material to provide a more comfortable. The earcups are also smaller, which means they fit closer to the ears to prevent sound leakage.

They feature an automatic adaptive ANC system that is capable of adjusting the volume it blasts out based on the environment. The ANC doesn't isolate as much low-frequency noise as Bose's QuietComfort 45 or QC45 Wireless however, it does a great job of combating high-frequency and mid-frequency sounds like airplane engine roar.

Wearing Detection is another useful feature that detects when you remove your headphones and then automatically pauses the music. The music will resume once you put them on again. Speak-to Chat lets you talk with a person without having to remove your headphones. It works well, but it's not perfect. Sometimes the audio will change back after you've finished talking.

The DSEE-HX Extreme audio processing Engine from Sony is also included. This feature can boost compressed audio to give it greater clarity and clarity. It's not a feature that you'll see in your daily use, but it could be noticeable when listening to high-quality tracks.

These headphones are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0, which supports streaming with higher bitrate than other headsets. This will improve their performance when you stream music from your laptop, mobile phone or tablet. They also support multipoint connections that allows you to connect two devices simultaneously. This is especially beneficial for those who listen to music on one device and also using them for hands-free calls.

2. Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless

The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless aren't the most distinctive of the crowd However, it doesn't mean they're not an excellent pair of headphones. These headphones are incredibly comfortable and offer noise cancellation and 60 hours of battery life. That's easily double the duration of many competitors with the Sony WH-1000XM5 as well as the Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless delivering 30 to 40 hours of runtime on a charge. The MOMENTUM 4's remarkable endurance is due in part to a variety of energy-saving features, such as sleep and on-head recognition.

In terms of sound quality In terms of sound quality, the Sennheisers are among the top Bluetooth headphones on the market, offering a an enviable mix of strong bass and warm mids that don't overwhelm each one. The high end is clear and not being blazing or bright and the headphone's outstanding clarity allows it to effortlessly handle action-movie soundtracks that have plenty of brash. The Control app lets you alter the sound profile and add an EQ, which makes it simple to adjust the headphones to suit your personal preferences.

The MOMENTUM Wireless is slightly less robust than the wired version, yet still feels sturdy and well-built. Their comfortable ear pads are also soft and comfortable, and they rest securely on the head. In fact, I had no problem wearing them for an entire day at home or on a flight. However, they're not as good to exercise in, since they can slip off your ears when you are moving quickly.

Similar to their predecessors the MOMENTUM 4's ANC performance is excellent, though not quite as class-leading as the Sony WH-1000XM5. They do a good job of blocking out background noise and low rumbles from buses and plane engines, but not so well at filtering out the chatter of passengers. They have the additional benefit of aptX support, which offers more bitrates than AAC and SBC.

The Sennheisers earcups can be rotated to lay flat, but they do not fold like other models. However, the Blutooth Headphones are small enough to fit into their carrying case, which is hard and not in use, making them ideal for commutes and travel.

3. Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2

Bowers & Wilkins second-generation wireless headphones are among the best noise-canceling headphones you can purchase. They compete closely with top rivals like Sony's WH-1000XM5 and Bose's QuietComfort 65, while offering top-quality build quality, amazing comfort, and acousticphile performance. Unlike many premium Bluetooth headsets, they don't come with a range of extravagant features or touch-based gesture control they are instead designed to deliver an audio experience that is as immersive and satisfying as is possible.

The Px7's S2's ANC is efficient in reducing background noise. It is able to block out low-frequency sounds, such as plane and bus engines, mid-range sounds such as high-pitched laptop fans. They aren't as effectively from higher-frequency sounds, such as conversations or traffic, but do a better job than their predecessors. The Bowers & Wilkins app also allows you to adjust your ANC to fit your hearing.

They have a premium design, with an elegant headband and ear cups that feature leatherette memory foam padding. The bluethooth headphones weigh a bit more than the other top headphones however their robust construction and thoughtful design make them feel well worth the cost. The headphones are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, whether you're at home, work or on a long flight.

When it comes to sound, the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2's 40mm dynamic drivers provide strong bass, crisp highs and spacious, detailed imaging. They provide a rich and dynamic sound with an airy space between the elements of sound, making them an excellent choice for listening to music and podcasts. They have aptX Adaptive codec, which means you can stream high-res audio with minimal latency.

The controls on the Px7 S2 are simple to use. They include the volume up/down button, a play/pause switch and the earcup buttons. The buttons are tactile and texturized, a small detail that enhances the headphones' luxurious feeling. They're a sturdy set of over-ears that won't fall off your head and fold into a compact case that makes it easy to transportation.

4. V-Moda S-80

Generally speaking, you get what you spend in the world of headphones, but the V-Moda S-80 are an exception. They are among the most attractive wireless headphones and feature a sleek sturdy design. Unfortunately, they cost almost as much money as the Sony WH1000XM5 or Bowers & Wilkins px7 S2 quite a bit for a pair of headphones that sit on your ear.

The V-Moda S-80 is the first wireless-only headphone from the brand. They can be worn on your head, or wrapped around your neck as a personal speaker (earcups facing upwards). They're tuned to provide a clear sound that is enhanced by modern electronic music and supports advanced audio codecs like Qualcomm's aptX HD. They also feature interchangeable magnetic shields and customizable color options so that you can give them a unique look to match your attire or promote your business.

The S-80 is a refreshing departure from the M-Series however, they do have a few quirks which make them unsuitable for everyone. Their weight of 12.5 ounces makes them feel heavy on the head, Blutooth headphones especially when worn over the ear. This puts pressure on the ear, which can cause headaches within an hour. The headband can also be somewhat stiff and can be uncomfortable to wear the headphones around your neck.

Another issue is the S80's poor noise cancellation. Even at moderate volumes you will hear background noise. The lack of ANC is not an issue but you'll want to limit the amount of time you listen for around 20 hours.

The S-80 lacks a 3.5mm connector, which restricts connectivity and may make it unsuitable for intense physical exercise. They're not foldable and don't have a case, which limits portability and stowability. The S-80's rugged construction and excellent sound quality help to offset these limitations. The Immortal Life Program guarantees a new pair of headphones at 50% off the retail price in the event that they break, scratch or scratch or otherwise lose their value.
