Best Over-Ear Headphones
Over-ear headphones, unlike earbuds are able to completely encapsulate your ears. They also have bigger drivers that provide deeper bass and a wider soundstage. Many include Bluetooth technology and active noise cancellation.
The most recent Master & Dynamic MW65 update features excellent audio, a variety of ANC modes and impressive battery life, all in a sleek and distinctive design.
1. Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless
Sony has enhanced an already fantastic pair of headphones with the introduction of the WH1000XM4 wireless. They're lighter, feel more constructed, and have an improved sound profile that is more balanced (though still bass heavy) and come with an app that allows some audio adjustments. They've upgraded their active noise cancellation, removing more background noises and extending the battery life.
These headphones utilize Bluetooth 5.0, with support for SBC, headphones bluetooth wireless AAC, and headphones bluetooth wireless Sony's own LDAC codec. The latter is able to transfer high-resolution music, though you'll need to use compatible devices and streaming services. The WH-1000XM4s also allows you to connect two Bluetooth devices simultaneously and then automatically switch between them when required. You can enable this feature via the Sony Headphones Connect app and it works very well.
One of the major improvements over the XM3 is the sensitivity of their touch panels. They respond quicker to a tap on panels and are simpler to control when making a call or listening to media. Sony has also added a feature to make voices sound more clear and precise during calls. This is a distinct and nice touch.
The WH-1000XM4s may not be perfect, but they are among the top wireless headphones we've ever examined. They're comfortable, well-made, and have an energy-efficient battery that can last for more than 30 continuous hours. They can be used as a passive device using a TRS cable. This is perfect to travel with or for storing energy.
The WH1000XM4s are a better alternative to the Bowers & Wilkins Wireless Over-Ears PX7 S2. The Sonys are more comfortable, and their ANC can block out more ambient sound. They also have a companion app that lets you tweak their audio performance, and their EQ settings are more flexible than the B&W's. The B&Ws are built better and can connect to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. They also support aptXHD and have an AI-driven engine that tries to scale compressed music up to high resolution. This is referred to as DSEE Extreme and it does a good job of improving the clarity of music, particularly when listening to lossless music.
2. Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless
The $329 Bose QuietComfort45 Noise-Canceling headset is the latest version of a headset that is a popular choice among commuters and passengers across the world. Instead of reinventing the wheel, the new model retains the same formula that made the predecessor so popular, and adds the USB-C port, which is better at cancelling noise and a longer battery lifespan.
These over-ear Bose headsets have a premium feel and appearance, similar to the QC 35 II headphones that came before them. The headband, made of plastic, has a firm feel thanks to the hinges made of steel at pivot points. It also has the familiar ratcheting mechanism when you retract or extend your earcups. The cups have soft cushions that fit securely over the ears and don't put pressure to your head. When folded they weigh 238 grams. They can be worn with a coat or sweater since they can be worn even when they are not on the head.
Despite their reputation for comfort, the QC45s don't offer the best sound in this price range. The frequencies are dull and lack the details that headphones with higher prices might be able bring out. The upper registers tend to be boosted and is suitable for most music but can be a problem for delicate or intricate music genres. The bass is great, but lacks the punch.
One thing that's not included is the ability to pause playback whenever you take off the headset. This is a feature that Bose's rivals have provided for many years. Another omission was the lack of an in-app EQ. Bose provides preset EQ settings within the app however it would be nice to have manual control.
You can connect to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth 5.0 with support for multipoint and the more advanced codecs such as aptX Adaptive. You can download the Bose Audio app to adjust the volume and voice assistant settings.
The QC45s come with four microphones built into the headset to listen to your voice during calls. The call quality is generally very good, but the headsets do not have the capability to turn off your voice while playing back which is something that other wireless headphones have. Update as of February 2022, the firmware update to the QC45s provided an option to adjust the volume manually in the audio app which is a welcomed improvement.
3. Focal Bathys Wireless
Focal is a French audio company known for high-performance headphones with long lasting comfort and a style that let listeners know they're listening to something truly special. Their first foray into wireless headphones that block noise, the Bathys, are a stunning set of cans that look and sound great. They have a high-performance USB DAC built in, so you can use them both for wired and wireless listening.
Focal claims that the Bathys can play Bluetooth music for up to 30 hours. We actually got more from them and got over 40 hours on average of one charge. If you have to charge the headphones then the indicator light on the right earcup will go red.
They have a decent amount of features for headphones of this price, including support for multiple devices at the same time and automatic pairing (though you'll have to select your source device each time you would like to listen). The headphones come with a built in microphone that works with voice assistants like Siri or Alexa. The headphones also feature an easy-to-use interface, making it easy to manage your music and make calls.
Bathys over-ear headphones are able to perform in our noise cancellation test, reducing ambient sound by an average of 9 decibels. It's not as good as the ANC found in the Sony WH1000XM4 and Bose QuietComfort45/QC45 Wireless, but it's still effective.
The Bathys headphones performed well in our headphone tests. Their frequency response was largely similar to the headphone curve of SoundGuys with minor differences in the mids and bass. The Bathys are bassy sound that can make vocals, instruments and cymbals look a bit obscure.
They also have very good leakage resistance, which means you can wear them in public without worrying about others listening to your music. Their microphone is suitable for recording using Bluetooth with only a slight distortion between the mid-treble and treble.
4. Sennheiser Momentum 4
The Sennheiser Momentum wireless bluetooth headphones is a new version of the company's flagship Bluetooth headsets. The Momentum 3 was a solid but not a great entry in this category. The latest model is improved over the previous generation with a sleeker design, improved gesture controls and massive battery life.
The changes are subtle but make for an over-ear set of Headphones Bluetooth Wireless that feels like an upgrade. The Momentum 4s lay flat and don't fold however they come with a sturdy hardshell case to protect them when on the move. They also follow the style of a number of other recent Bluetooth headphones, including those from Sony and Bowers & Wilkins, to be beautifully device agnostic. This means they can work with both Android phones and Apple iPhones, but don't have the extra features (like Find My support and head-tracked Spatial Audio) that you'll find on the AirPods.
The most obvious improvement here is the massive battery, which promises up to 60 hours of playback when noise cancellation enabled. This is easily twice the amount of the other brands and enough to allow you to travel for a longer period of time without having to search for an outlet.
Engadget senior editor Billy Steele gave the headphones an 82-point score, citing their audio quality and ANC as particular strengths. His only complaint is that they lack a sense of gravitas in the mids and the treble. This means that orchestral tracks tend to sound flat rather than grand. The bass is rounded, but it can be overemphasised, which can lead to fatigue in songs with heavy bass lines like the drum hits in As I Lay Dying's Forever. The cymbals sound bubbly, but not full. There's also no real depth to the lows.
The Momentum 4s should not cause pressure on your neck or ears. They can be a bit fidgety if you wear them at home or for long listening sessions. They can move on your head and make intense head movements. This can cause them to wake up at random times, which can be distracting when listening to music or making calls. Fortunately, they stop working after 15 minutes of rest by default and can be manually switched off with the power button.
