Best Over the Ear Headphones
Wireless headphones allow you to listen to music and podcasts without the requirement of connecting a wire to your audio device. These headphones are ideal to use on public transport, in the office or at home.
Wireless over-ear cans are offered in a variety of styles and noise cancelling features. They are usually packaged in a sleek case.
Soundcore Life Q30
These earphones are an important upgrade over the Soundcore Life 2 of late-2018. They appear better, feel more durable, and have a more polished finish. They're still mostly made of plastic, but the hinges are tighter and the soft leather ear cups are a bit larger. You can also swap out the 3.5mm cable for a premium USB-C version so that you can connect them to stationary Hi-Fi systems and mobile Hi-Res players. They also have dual microphones that are great in our tests for FaceTime, Skype, and Microsoft Teams calls.
The Soundcore app has a wide selection of EQ presets that can be saved and tweaked to play podcasts and music in the style you like. This is what makes these headphones stand out from other ANC headphones and the Soundcore app is extremely simple to use.
When ANC is turned on the Q30's 40mm drivers block out most of the ambient noise and make for an extremely pleasant listening experience. They have a natural sounding signature that leans a little on the treble side, and some may be unable to reproduce bass (we had better results using the Bass Booster EQ preset). However, you can rectify this using the Soundcore application, as there's an eight-band equalizer that can help you tweak.
The headphones feature a power button and pairing button on the left ear cup along with an USB-C port to charge. The right earcup is equipped with buttons for volume up/down, play/pause and volume up/down. By double-clicking these controls, you can skip tracks or replay the previous one. They also have the ability to speak that allows you to ask them to change the mode or set an alarm. You can also cover the right earcup with your fingers to activate ambient modes to allow you to hear the world around you without having to remove the headphones.
These headphones have a great battery life. In our tests with ANC switched on, the Q30 was able to last for nearly an hour longer than its competitors. This allows you to enjoy an extended flight or a busy day at work. They can be charged quickly by using the USB-C cable that comes with them and you'll get warnings when they're about to run empty.
Focal Bathys Wireless
Focal's Bathys wireless and bluetooth headphones are a set of premium over-ear headphones that offer both active noise cancellation and Bluetooth playback. They are designed to be premium, high-end headphones that can be used at home or on the move. The headphones are a more expensive than other headphones, but their outstanding sound is the reason they stand out.
The Focal Bathys are packaged in a compact elegant white box with a textured finish. It includes all the accessories that you'll need. There's also 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 decent 600mAh battery that will get you through a whole day of casual listening and also have an audio input that can be wired for use. Wirelessly, they're paired via Bluetooth. You can control their functions using an app (now called Focal and Naim in line with English sister brand Naim’s products that are network-aware) or by pressing the button on the left earcup which scrolls through ANC profiles such as'silent,'soft transparent,' and 'full.
The app lets you modify various settings, including the brightness of the LEDs as well as the EQ presets (including music's profile, that sounds more neutral and brighter than the other profiles) and the battery life. It also allows you to select the ANC mode and the level, and also set an 'acoustic environment' that will adjust the sensitivity of your music to simulate what it would sound like if it were placed in a room with different acoustics.
The Focal Bathys have a bass-rich sound profile that delivers extra energy, impact and warmth to your favourite tracks. This means that instruments and vocals sound muted, while details such as cymbals may be less prominent than on other headphones. They're also not as effective in active noise cancelation when compared to other over-ears with more advanced technology such as the Sony WH-1000XM5 or Apple AirPods Max.
Sony WH-1000XM5
Sony has a fine reputation for its headphones and the WH-1000XM5 is not an exception. It is at the top of the mainstream over ear headphone market and borders the luxury lifestyle segment where brands like Apple, Montblanc, Bang & Olufsen and Montblanc are situated. The XM5s can be expensive however, if you are able to get them, you won't find a better wireless over-ear headphones.
The XM5s come with features that simplify the lives of listeners and, in certain instances, automate tasks they'd otherwise have to handle manually. Sony's DSEE Extreme Engine (which upscales music that has been compressed to near high-res) as well as Bluetooth's LDAC Technology are both included. That allows for streaming of high-quality audio at bitrates higher than conventional bluetooth headfones. There's even a built-in microphone to allow making calls without hands.
The XM5 headphones aren't any different from the previous generation WH headphones in terms of noise cancellation. They're one of the best at cutting down on the constant drones that are heard in train and underground carriages. The XM5s do a great job of separating listeners from background noise of busy streets and airports, too.
The sound quality is very good. The XM5s lack as high a resolution in the low frequency range as the XM4, however they do possess a greater sense clarity and openness. The bass in Rage Against the Machine's Bullet in the Head shows off the Sonys power and clarity but 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 with up to 30 hours of listening time when ANC is in use and 40 hours if it's off. This is more than enough to last a weekend getaway or several days' heavy use.
The XM5s are not water resistant or dust resistant. Sony actually recommends not sweating in the XM5s or taking them out in the rain. This might not be a problem for the majority of people however for those who spend much time in the gym or live in a humid area it could be a major problem.
Apple AirPods Max
The Apple AirPods Max are a pair of wireless headphones over-ear with Bluetooth technology and noise cancellation. They feature 40mm dynamic drivers that are designed by Apple and have a neutral audio profiles that emphasizes the mids and highs while not going overboard on either end of the spectrum. They are great for music and movies. They also have better sound quality when compared with other headphones.
The headphones are light and feel comfortable on the head. The earcups are made from memory foam covered in woven fabric, and they are comfortable to wear without putting pressure on the sides of the face. The ear cups also tilt and rotate to accommodate various head shapes. The spring-loaded hinges provide a strong, but not too strong clamping force that ensures the ear cups remain in place during listening sessions.
A small button located on the top of the right ear cup lets you toggle noise cancelling modes. You can also use a pushable jog dial-like button similar to the digital Crown on the Apple Watch. You can turn it to control the volume, and press it once, twice, or three times for playback controls. Siri can be activated by pressing and fhoy.kr pressing the button. The buttons are easy to use and well-placed, but I would have liked to have the power button that could shut off the headphones when in use. The headphones are put into standby mode when removed from your ears or if they are placed in their case. They will return to life when you place them on your head.
Spatial audio is another cool feature. It uses the accelerometers, gyroscopes and iPads or iPhones to determine where you're moving. Then, it alters the position of the sound so that they seem to be coming from that location. This creates a cinema-like experience for movies and videos recorded in 5.1, 7.1 or Dolby Atmos. The only drawback is that spatial audio requires an iOS device to be used, and you won't be able to experience it on other devices.
The AirPods Max are a decent pair of headphones, but I'd be a bit ripped off walking into an Apple Store and spending $549 on them if I knew they'd be outdone in a year by the second-generation model. The AirPods Pro have more advanced features and better battery performance, so it's hard to justify the extra cost for most people.
