The Master & Dynamic MW65 is updated with better audio and features, including numerous ANC mode and an impressive battery life.
1. Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless
Sony has made improvements to an already-great pair of headphones with the WH-1000XM4 Wireless. They're lighter, feel better built, feature an improved sound profile that is more balanced (though still bass-heavy) and come with an app that allows for some audio-related customization. Their active noise cancelling performs better than it did before, removing the background noise, and they have a longer battery life than other models.
These headphones use Bluetooth 5.0 and support SBC, AAC, and Sony's own LDAC codec. The latter can transfer high-resolution audio, however, you'll need compatible equipment and streaming services. The WH-1000XM4s also allows you to connect two Bluetooth devices simultaneously and then automatically switch between them as needed. This feature is enabled through the Sony Headphones Connect App and works flawlessly.
The touch panels are more sensitive than the XM3. They respond faster to the tap of a panel, and this makes them easier to control during a call or listen to media. Sony has also added a feature to make voices more precise and clear during calls. This is an obvious and pleasant addition.
While the WH-1000XM4s aren't perfect, they're one of the top wireless headphones uk headphones we've ever tested. They're comfortable, feel well made, and have an excellent battery that can last longer than 30 hours continuously. They can also be used with an TRS cable which is great when you're on the road or need to save power.
The WH-1000XM4s make a better choice over the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 Wireless over-ears. The Sonys are more comfy and their ANC can block out more ambient sound. They also have an application that lets you adjust their audio performance, and their EQ settings are more flexible than B&W's. The B&Ws are more robust and can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. Additionally, they support aptX HD and feature a unique AI-driven engine that tries to upscale compressed music to high-resolution. This is called DSEE Extreme and it does a good job of improving the clarity of music, particularly when listening to lossless files.
2. Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 wireless headhpones
The $329 Bose QuietComfort45 noise-canceling headset is the latest version of a headset which is a popular choice among commuters and travelers all over the world. The new model does not reinvent the wheel. It uses the same formula that made its predecessor so successful, while adding USB-C and better noise cancellation.
Similar to the QC 35 II before them, these over-ear Bose headphones have a luxurious look and feel that exudes quality. The headband, made of plastic, has a firm feel thanks to the hinges made of steel at pivot points. They also have the familiar ratcheting mechanism whenever you expand or retract your earcups. The cups have soft, cushioned pads that fit securely over the ears and don't put pressure to your head. They weigh 238 grams and are fairly compact when folded. You can wear them while wearing a coat or sweater as the noise-canceling works even when you aren't on your head.
Despite their reputation as comfortable Monolith Headphones they do not provide the best sound quality at this price. The frequencies are tinny and lack the detail that higher-end headphones might be able to bring out. The higher registers tend to be boosted and is suitable for most music genres but could cause problems for more delicate or intricate genres of music. The bass is good but it lacks power.
The possibility of pauseing the playback when you remove the headset is a feature that's absent. This is standard in this price range and Monolith Headphones is something Bose's competitors have offered for a long time. Another oversight was the absence of an in-app EQ. Bose provides preset EQ settings within the app however it would be nice to have a manual control.
You can connect to your tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth 5.0 with multipoint support as well as more advanced codecs such as aptX Adaptive. You can download the Bose Audio app to adjust your headset's sound and voice assistant settings.
The QC45s also come with four microphones built into the headset to hear your voice when you make calls. The quality of calls is generally very good but the headphones do not have the capability to muffle your voice during playback, which is something that other wireless headphones do. Update as of February 2022, a firmware update to the QC45s gave you manual EQ options within the audio app which is a welcomed improvement.
3. Focal Bathys Wireless
Focal is a French audio brand that is known for high-performance headphones with long lasting comfort and a design that let listeners know they're listening to something truly special. The Bathys are their first wireless noise-cancelling headphones. They look and sound stunning. They come with a high-performance USB DAC built in, making them suitable both for wireless and wired listening.
The Bathys are very efficient in terms of battery performance with Focal claiming 30 hours of continuous Bluetooth playtime. We actually got more and got over 40 hours on average of a single charge. If you are required to charge your headphones, the indicator light on the right earcup will turn red.
They come with a wide range of features for headphones of this price, including support for multiple devices simultaneously and automatic pairing (though you'll need to select your source device every time you want to listen). The headphones come with a built in microphone that works with voice assistants, such as Siri or Alexa. The headphones feature an easy to use interface that makes it easy to control music and make calls.
Bathys over-ear headphones perform well in our noise cancellation test, reducing ambient sound by an average of 9 decibels. It's not as impressive as the ANC in the Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless but it's still quite effective.
The Bathys headphones did well in our headphone tests. Their frequency response was generally similar to the SoundGuys headphone curve with minor differences on the bass and mids. They have a bass-rich sound profile that adds a lot of boom to mixes, however, it can make instruments and vocals like cymbals seem a bit veiled.
They also have very good leakage resistance, which means you can wear them out in public without worrying about other people hearing your music. Their mic is passable for recording using Bluetooth with only a slight distortion between the mid-treble and treble.
4. Sennheiser Momentum 4
The Sennheiser Momentum Wireless are a new version of the company's flagship Bluetooth headphones. The last pair, the Momentum 3, was a solid but unspectacular entry in the category. The new model improves on the previous generation with more sleek design, better gesture controls and massive battery life.
The changes are subtle but add up to a pair of over ear headphones that feel like an upgrade. The Momentum 4s are flat and do not fold. They come with an outer case that protects them when traveling. They also follow the style of many other recent Bluetooth headphones, such as the ones from Sony and Bowers & Wilkins, to be incredibly device-agnostic. They are compatible with Apple iPhones as well as Android phones, but lack the AirPods additional features such as Find My Support and head-tracked spatial audio.
The most obvious improvement in this model is the huge battery that promises up to 60 hours of playback when the noise cancellation feature turned on. This is more than double the amount of the competitors and sufficient to take a multi-day journey without worrying about finding an outlet.
Engadget senior editor Billy Steele gave the headphones an 82-point score, citing their audio quality and ANC as two of their strengths. His only complaint is that they lack a sense of gravitas in the mids as well as treble, meaning that orchestral pieces tend to sound flat, not grand. The bass is well rounded however it can be overemphasized, which can lead to fatigue in songs with strong bass lines, such as the drum beats of As I Lay Dying’s Forever. The cymbals sound a bit bubbly, but not full. There's no real depth to the lows.
The Momentum 4s are a comfortable fit and should not put too much pressure on your neck or ears. However they can be difficult to wear in the house or during longer listening sessions, and will move about on your head, causing intense head movements. This could cause them to wake up at random and can cause distraction during calls or music. They will shut down automatically after 15 minutes, and can be switched off manually by pressing the power button.
