Best Over the Ear Headphones
Wireless Headphoens headphones allow you to listen to music or podcasts anywhere without having to run an audio wire to your device. They're ideal for public transportation, at work, or at home.
Wireless over-ear headphones can have an elegant design and superior noise cancellation. They are usually packed in a stylish case.
Soundcore Q30
A major upgrade over the Soundcore Life 2 from late-2018 The new wireless bluetooth headphones over-ears are more attractive, feel more durable and generally feel more polished. They're still mostly plastic, however the hinges are more secure and the soft protein leather cups are bigger. You can also swap out the 3.5mm cable for a premium USB-C version to connect them to portable Hi-Fi systems as well as stationary Hi-Res players. They also come with dual mics built in that worked well in our tests with FaceTime, Skype and Microsoft Teams calls.
The Soundcore app has a wide variety of EQ presets that can be saved and adjusted to listen to podcasts and music in the way you prefer. This is the thing that sets these headphones apart from most other ANC headphones, and the Soundcore app is extremely easy to use.
When ANC is on the Q30's 40mm drivers cut out almost all background noise, making for very pleasant listening. They have a natural sounding signature that leans a little on the treble side, and some may be unable to reproduce bass (we have had better results using the Bass Booster EQ preset). But, you can solve this issue with the Soundcore application, as there's an equalizer with 8 bands to allow you to tweak.
The headphones come with an power button and a pairing button on the left earcup and a USB-C port for charging. The right ear cup has play/pause, and volume up/down buttons. Double-clicking these buttons lets you skip tracks or replay the previous one. They also support the ability to speak that allows you to ask to change the mode or set an alarm. You can also cover the right earcup by using your hands to activate ambient modes so that you can hear everything around you without having to remove the headphones.
These headphones have a fantastic battery life. In our tests with ANC enabled the Q30 was able to last for nearly an hour longer than its rivals. This leaves plenty of time to prepare for an extended flight or a day at the office. They can be quickly recharged using the USB-C cable included, and you'll see warnings when they're about to run empty.
Focal Bathys Wireless
Focal's Bathys Wireless is a pair of powerful over-ear Bluetooth headphones that feature active noise cancellation, as well as Bluetooth playback. They're designed to be an elite high-end headphones that are ideal for listening to music and podcasts on the go but also sound amazing when used for home use by audiophiles too. They're a little more expensive than other similar headphones, but their superior audio quality is the primary selling point.
The Focal Bathys are packed in a small elegant white box with a cloth finish. It comes with all the accessories that you'll require. You can also get a fold-flat carry case for the headphones, a USB-C to USB C cable, 1.2mmSE cable and an audio converter.
They're powered by a respectable 600mAh battery that can take you through a whole day of listening, and include an audio input that can be wired for use. Wirelessly, they are paired via Bluetooth. You can control their functions using an app (now called Focal & Naim in line with English sister brand Naim’s network-aware products) or wireless Headphoens by pressing the button located on the left earcup that scrolls through ANC profiles like silent, soft transparent,' and 'full.
Using the app allows you to change various settings, including the brightness of the LED and EQ presets, including a "music profile' that is brighter and more neutral than the others and their battery duration. You can also choose the ANC mode and level and setting an 'acoustic settings setting to alter the sensitivity in order to simulate the sound of the headphones in a different acoustic room.
The Focal Bathys feature an incredibly bass-rich profile that gives extra warmth, punch and impact to your favourite tracks. As a result, vocals and instruments are nudged back into the mix and sound muffled, while details like cymbals and vocals are somewhat less prominent than you might expect on some other headphones. The headphones are also less effective at active noise cancellation when compared with other over-ears with more advanced technology, such as the Sony WH1000XM5 and Apple AirPods Max.
Sony WH-1000XM5
Sony has a stellar reputation for its headphones and the WH-1000XM5 is not an exception. It is the best of the'mainstream' over ear headphone market and is in the 'luxury' lifestyle market where brands like Apple, Montblanc, Bang & Olufsen and Montblanc are located. The XM5s can be expensive however, if you can afford it get them, you won't find a better wireless headphones.
The XM5s have features to simplify the lives of listeners and, in certain instances, automate tasks that they'd otherwise have to do manually. Sony's DSEE Extreme engine (which upscales compressed music to near hi-res) is also included, as is support for Bluetooth's LDAC technology. That allows for streaming of high-quality audio with bitrates that are higher than standard Bluetooth. It also has a built-in microphone for making hands-free phone calls.
Similar to the previous generation of WH headphones the XM5s excel in noise cancellation. They're among the best-performing cans for cutting out constant drones heard in underground and train carriages. The XM5s do a great job isolating listeners from the traffic noises of airports and busy streets, too.
Sound quality is also excellent. The XM5s aren't quite as detailed in the low frequencies as the XM4, but there's a more pronounced sense of clarity and openness also. The bass on Rage Against The Machine’s Bullet in the Head shows the Sonys' power and definition without affecting the rest of the music. The XM5s are also able to produce precise and precise bass notes on Massive Attack's Angel.
The battery life is fantastic and can last up to 30 hours listening time when ANC is on and up to 40 hours when it's off. This is more than enough for a weekend getaway or several days of heavy usage.
The only real drawback here is that the XM5s don't have any water resistance or dust resistance protection. Sony actually recommends not sweating into them or wearing them in the rain. This may not be a big deal for everyone else however for those who spend long hours in the gym or live in a rainy location this could be a major problem.
Apple AirPods Max
Apple AirPods Max is a pair over-ear wireless headphones that feature Bluetooth technology and noise cancellation. They feature 40mm dynamic drivers that are designed by Apple and have a an audio profile that is neutral and is focused on the mids and highs while not going too loud on either end of the spectrum. This makes them perfect for both movies and music. They also provide better sound quality when compared with other headphones.
The headphones are lightweight and comfortable on the head. The ear cups are made out of memory foam that is covered in a woven fabric. They sit comfortably on the ears without putting pressure on the sides of the face. The earcups can also tilt and rotate to accommodate various head shapes. The spring-loaded hinges have a strong but not too powerful clamping force, which makes sure that the ear cups remain in place throughout listening sessions.
A small button located on the top of the right ear cup lets you toggle noise cancelling modes. It also has a pushable Jog-dial-like button, akin to the digital crown on the Apple Watch, that you can turn to control volume and press the button once twice or three times to playback control. Pressing and holding the button triggers Siri. The buttons are simple to use and well-placed, however I would have liked to see an option to power off or shut off the headphones when not in use. The headphones automatically go into standby mode when removed from your ear or placed in their case, and they only wake up when you place them on your head once more.
Spatial audio is a cool feature. It utilizes accelerometers, gyroscopes, and iPhones and iPads to determine where you're moving. Then, it repositions the sounds to make them seem to be coming from the location you are in. This creates a cinema-like experience with movies and videos that were recorded in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 or 7.1. Only iOS devices are able to listen to audio in spatial format.
The AirPods Max are a decent pair of headphones, but I'd be somewhat smug walking into an Apple Store and spending $549 on the headphones if I knew that they'd be outdone in a year by the second-generation model. AirPods Pro are more expensive and have superior battery life and more advanced features.
