The Best Wireless Headphones

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

The active noise cancellation system cuts down the low rumble of chatty coworkers and bus engines. They are extremely comfortable to wear for long periods.

1. Sony WH-1000XM5

The WH1000XM5s headphones are Sony's flagship. They're an improvement over the XM4s, with better noise cancellation and intelligent features. The headphones are more expensive but have an elegant look and feel. They have a lot to offer and are a good choice for commuters and frequent travelers.

The new headphones are made from recycled plastic and feature an elegant, minimalist design. The headphones are also lighter than the earlier models. The headband has been cushioned with soft material to ensure it's more comfortable. The earcups are also smaller which means they sit closer to the ears for less sound leakage.

The headphones feature an automatic adaptive ANC which can alter the volume depending on the environment you're in. The ANC isn't as effective at removing low-frequency noise as Bose's QuietComfort 45 or QC45 Wireless, but it still does a great job of combating high-frequency and mid-frequency sounds like office chatter and airplane engine roar.

Wearing Detection is another useful feature that detects when you remove your headphones, and automatically stops the music. It will then resume playing when you put on the headphones again. There's also Speak-to-Chat, which enables you to converse with people without taking your headphones off. It works surprisingly well, although it's not the perfect solution and may change back to audio playback after you've finished talking.

Sony's DSEE-HX Extreme Audio processing engine is also present. This feature can boost compressed audio to provide it with greater clarity and clarity. This isn't a feature you'll notice in everyday use, but it can be noticeable when listening to high-quality tracks.

These headphones are compatible Bluetooth 5.0 which allows for higher bitrate streaming than other headsets. This will improve their performance if you play music on your mobile phone, laptop, or tablet. They also support multi-point connectivity, so you can pair them with two devices at the at the same time. This is especially helpful for those who would like to listen to music while making hands-free phone calls.

2. Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless

Sennheiser MOMENTUM Wireless headphones aren't exactly the most original but that doesn't necessarily mean they're not an excellent pair. These headphones are incredibly comfortable and offer noise cancellation and a staggering 60 hours of battery. This is easily twice as long as the majority of rivals. The Sony WH1000XM5 or the Bowers and Wilkins Px8 wireless offer 30 to 40 hours of battery life. The MOMENTUM's long-lasting battery is the result of several power-saving functions like sleep and an on-head detector.

In terms of sound quality In terms of sound quality, the Sennheisers are among the best bluetooth head phones headphones on the market, offering a an even combination of strong bass and warm mids that don't overwhelm each the other. The high-end is clear without being piercing or bright, and the headphone's excellent clarity means it can effortlessly handle action-movie soundtracks with plenty of blast. The Control app lets you change the sound profile as well as add an EQ, which makes it easy to customize the headphones to your specific preferences.

In comparison to the wired version, the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless are slightly less durable, yet feel solid and well-constructed. The comfortable earpads are also soft and supple and are firmly on the head. I used them all day regardless of whether I was at home or on a plane. However, they're not as good for exercising, as they can fall off your ears when you're moving fast.

As with their predecessors, the MOMENTUM 4's ANC performance is impressive, though not quite as impressive as the Sony WH-1000XM5. They cut out low rumble from plane and bus engines, but don't really do a well at eliminating chattering between passengers or other noises in the surrounding. They also have the benefit of aptX audio which offers higher maximum bitrates than the AAC and SBC used by the Sonys.

The Sennheisers' ear cups can be swiveled so that they lay flat, but they don't fold like other models. However, the headphones are small enough to fit in their carrying case that is hard when they are not in use, making them ideal for commutes and travel.

3. Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2

The new generation of Bowers & Wilkins' flagship wireless headphones are one of the top noise cancelling over-ear headsets you can buy. They are in close competition with top rivals like Bose's WH-1000XM5 from Sony and the QuietComfort 65, while offering top-quality build quality, amazing comfort, and acousticphile performance. They don't feature fancy features or touch-based control gestures, like the majority of high-end Bluetooth headphones. Instead, they're designed to deliver an audio experience that is immersive and enjoyable.

The S2's ANC is efficient in reducing background noise. It is able to block out low-frequency sounds, such as bus engines and plane engines and mid-range sounds, such as office chatter and high-pitched laptop fans. They aren't able to isolate as well from higher-frequency noise like conversations or traffic, but are more effective than their predecessors. The Bowers & Wilkins app also lets you fine-tune your ANC to match your hearing.

The headphones have a premium appearance, with the headband and ear cup. The headphones weigh a bit more than other top over-ear noise-canceling headsets however, their robust build and well-thought-out design make them feel well worth the investment. They stay comfortable while you listen to music for long durations and are ideal for use at home at work, on the go or for long flights.

In terms of sound, the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2's 40mm dynamic drivers offer powerful bass, crisp highs and spacious, detailed imaging. They have a rich and dynamic sound that has an airy space between the elements of sound making them a great choice for listening to music or podcasts. They support aptX Adaptive Codec which lets you stream hi-res audio at minimal latency.

The controls on the Px7 S2 are simple to use. They include the volume up/down button as well as a play/pause switch, as well as the earcup buttons. The buttons are tactile and texturized which enhances the headphones' luxurious feeling. The headphones are stable over-ears and won't fall from your head. They fold down into a compact carrying case to make transporting simple.

4. V-Moda S-80

The V-Moda S-80 headphones are an exception to the rule that you get the value you pay for. They are among the top-quality wireless headphones, and feature an elegant, durable design. They cost nearly as much as the Sony WH1000XM5 or Bowers & Wilkins px7 S2 quite a bit for a pair on-ear headphones.

The V-Moda S-80 is the first wireless-only headphone by the brand. It can be placed on your Head phones or wrapped around your neck as a personal speaker (earcups facing upwards). They're tuned for a vivid sound that enhances contemporary electronic music, and also support advanced audio codecs, such as Qualcomm's aptX HD. They also feature interchangeable magnetic shields and customizable color options so you can give them an individual look that matches your attire or promote your business.

The S-80 is a nice departure from the M-Series but they have a few flaws that make them less than ideal for everyone. Their weight of 12.5 pounds makes them feel heavy on the head, particularly when worn over-ear. This puts pressure on your ears, causing earache after about an hour of use. The headband may also be stiff and uncomfortable when worn around your neck.

Another problem is the S-80's poor noise cancellation. Even at moderate volumes there is significant background noise. It's not a deal-breaker however, the absence of ANC will mean you'll need to limit your listening time to 20 hours per charge.

The S-80 isn't equipped with the 3.5mm connector, which hinders connectivity and may make it unsuitable for intense physical exercise. They're not foldable and don't have a case, Head Phones which limits portability and stowability. The S-80's robust design and outstanding sound quality counterbalance the 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.
