Best Over the Ear Wifi headphones

Wireless headphones let you listen to podcasts and Wifi Headphones music without the requirement to connect wires to your audio device. They are also a great choice for public transportation, at work, or at home.

Wireless over-ear cans are offered in a variety and noise cancelling capabilities. They are usually packed in a sleek case.

Soundcore Q30

A major upgrade over the Soundcore Life 2 from late-2018 These earphones look better, feel sturdier and generally feel more polished. The hinges are tighter and the soft cups are a bit larger. They're still made of plastic, but they are more polished. 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 built-in mics that worked well in our tests using FaceTime, Skype and Microsoft Teams calls.

The Soundcore app comes with a broad selection of EQ presets that can be saved and altered to listen to podcasts or music in the way you like. The Soundcore app is easy to use and sets these headphones apart.

The Q30's 40mm speakers effectively block out the majority of ambient noise when ANC is turned on. This creates an extremely enjoyable listening experience. The Q30's sound signature is natural, but it is a bit treble. Some may not be a fan of the bass response (we had better results with the Bass Booster EQ). It is possible to fix this with the Soundcore App, which comes with an 8-band Equalizer.

The headphones feature an power button and a pairing button on the left earcup along with an USB-C port to charge. The right ear cup has play/pause and volume up/down buttons. Double-clicking these controls lets you to skip tracks or play previous ones. They also support a voice command, so you can ask to switch the mode or wifi headphones set an alarm. The right earcup can be covered with your hand to activate ambient mode so that you can be aware of what is happening around you, without removing the headphones.

The Q30 headphones offer a long battery life. The Q30 lasted an hour longer in our tests when ANC was turned on than its rivals. This allows you to take advantage of a long flight, or a long day at work. They can be easily recharged by using the USB-C cable that comes with them and you'll be able to see warnings when they're about to run empty.

Focal Bathys Wireless

Focal's Bathys Wireless are a set of premium over-ear headphones that feature active noise cancellation as well as Bluetooth playback. They're designed as an elite, high-end headphone that are great for listening to music and podcasts on the go but also are a great choice for audiophile home use too. They're more expensive than similar headphones, but their exceptional audio quality is the primary selling feature.

The Focal Bathys are packaged in a compact, slim and attractive white fabric-finished retail box that includes everything you'll need in. The package includes a fold-flat headphone carrying case, USB-C-to-USB-C cable, 1.2mm SE cable and an audio adapter.

The 600mAh battery can last a whole day of casual listening. They also have an audio input to connect wired. When connected wirelessly, they're paired via Bluetooth and you'll be able to control their functions through an app (now named Focal and Naim, probably in the same vein as their English Naim brand's network-aware audio products) or via the dedicated button on the left earcup which scrolls between ANC profiles like'silent','soft' transparent' and 'full'.

Using the app allows you to alter different settings like the LED brightness and EQ presets, including a "music profile' that sounds brighter and more neutral than other presets and also their battery duration. You can also select the ANC mode and level and setting an 'acoustic settings that adjusts the sensitivity to mimic the sound of headphones in a different acoustic room.

The Focal Bathys feature an incredibly bass-rich sound that adds more punch and warmth to your favourite tracks. The result is that instruments and vocals can sound muted, while details like cymbals might be less prominent than other headphones. They're also not as effective in active noise cancellation when contrasted to other headphones with more advanced technology such as the Sony WH-1000XM5 or Apple AirPods Max.

Sony WH-1000XM5

Sony has a stellar reputation for its headphones and the WH-1000XM5 headphones are no exception. It is at the top end of the mainstream headphones for over-ear, and is slipping into the luxury lifestyle sector where brands like Bang & Olufsen, Apple and Montblanc hang out. The XM5s have a premium cost, but when you can afford it, there are better over the ear wireless headphones available.

The XM5s come with features to make life easier for listeners and, in certain instances, automate tasks they'd otherwise have to do manually. Sony's DSEE Extreme Engine (which upscales music to near-high-resolution), as well as Bluetooth's LDAC Technology are all included. This allows for streaming of high-quality audio with rates that are higher than traditional Bluetooth. There's a built-in mic for making calls hands-free.

The XM5 headphones aren't different from the previous generation of headphones from WH, in terms of 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 of separating listeners from traffic noises of airports and busy streets as well.

Sound quality is also excellent. The XM5s aren't quite as detailed in the low frequencies as the XM4, however, they have a higher level of clarity and realism as well. The bass in Rage Against the Machine's Bullet in the Head shows off the Sonys power and clarity, without affecting the music. In the same way, Massive Attack's grooving Angel showcases the XM5's ability to create precise and precise bass notes.

Battery life is also good, with up to 30 hours of listening with ANC active and up to 40 hours when it's turned off. This is plenty for a weekend trip or a long period of use.

The XM5s are not waterproof or dust-proof. Sony recommends not sweating on them or taking them out in the rain. This might not be a problem for many people, but it might cause a problem for anyone who spend a lot of their time at the gym or lives in a city that is rainy.

Apple AirPods Max

Apple AirPods Max is a pair of wireless bluetooth headphones headphones which feature Bluetooth technology and noise cancellation. Apple created dynamic drivers that measure 40mm with a neutral audio profile that emphasizes highs and mids, but not going too loud. This makes them ideal for movies and music. They also offer higher fidelity compared to other headphones.

The headphones have a lightweight build that feels comfortable on the head. The earcups, which are made of memory foam covered with woven fabric, and sit comfortably over the ear, do not put pressure on the sides or forehead. The ear cups also tilt and rotate to accommodate different head shapes. The spring-loaded hinges provide a strong, but not too strong clamping force that ensures the earcups remain in place during listening sessions.

Toggle noise cancelling mode by pressing a small button on the top of the right earcup. There's also a button that can be pushed, jog-dial-like button, similar to the digital crown on the Apple Watch, that you can turn to adjust the volume and press once, twice or thrice for playback controls. Siri is activated by pressing and pressing the button. The buttons are simple to use and are well-placed, however, I would like to see an option to power off or turn off the headphones when they are not in use. The headphones automatically go into standby mode when removed from your ears or placed in their case, and they only wake up when you slide them over your head once more.

Another great feature is spatial audio, which makes use of the accelerometers and gyroscopes in the AirPods Max and your iPhone or iPad to determine where you're moving, then repositions sound to create the illusion that they're coming from these locations. This creates a cinema-like experience with videos and movies recorded in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 or 7.1. Only iOS devices are able to listen to the spatial audio.

The AirPods Max is a decent pair, but I would feel a little ripped off if I spent $549 in an Apple Store knowing that the second-generation model would be better in the next year. The AirPods Pro have more advanced features and better battery performance, making it hard to justify the extra cost for the majority of people.
