Best Over-Ear Headphones

Over-ear cordless headphones, unlike earbuds, can completely surround the ears. They also have larger drivers that deliver deeper bass and a wider soundstage. A majority of them feature Bluetooth technology and active noise cancellation.

The latest Master & Dynamic MW65 update features high-quality audio, numerous ANC modes and impressive battery life in an elegant and distinctive design.

1. Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless

Sony has enhanced an already fantastic pair of headphones by introducing the WH1000XM4 wireless. They are more lightweight, better constructed and feature an audio profile that is more balanced (though bass heavy). They also have an app for audio customization. Their active noise cancellation works better than it did before, eliminating more ambient sound, and they have a longer continuous battery life than other models.

These bluetooh headphones are Bluetooth 5.0 compatible and Sony LDAC is also supported. The latter is able to transfer high-resolution music, but you'll need to use compatible devices and streaming services. In addition, the WH-1000XM4s can connect to two Bluetooth devices at once and automatically switch between them as needed. You can enable this feature via the Sony Headphones Connect app and it is extremely effective.

The touch panels are more sensitive than the XM3. They respond quicker to a tap on panels and are simpler to control when making a call or listening to media. Sony also included a feature that makes voice sound clearer and more precise during calls, which is noticeable and a nice addition.

While the WH-1000XM4s aren't perfect, they are some of the top wireless headphones we've ever tried. They're comfortable, good to the touch, and Cordless headphones have an outstanding battery that lasts for longer than 30 hours continuously. They can also be used passively with a TRS cable, which is ideal when you're on the road or need to save power.

The WH-1000XM4s are better over the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 Wireless over-ears. The Sonys are more comfortable and their ANC can block out more background noise. The B&Ws feature an EQ that is more flexible, as well as an app companion to adjust the audio performance. The B&Ws are more robust, and can pair with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. They also support aptX HD, and they have an AI-driven engine that tries to upscale compressed music to high-resolution. This is called DSEE Extreme and it does well in improving the clarity of music, particularly when listening to lossless audio files.

2. Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless

The $329 Bose QuietComfort45 noise-canceling headset is the most recent version of a headset which is a popular choice among commuters and passengers all over the world. Rather than reinventing the wheel the new model uses the same formula that made its predecessor so popular, but adds the USB-C port, which is better at cancelling noise and longer battery life.

Similar to the QC 35 II before them, these over-ear Bose headphones sport a premium look and feel that exudes quality. The headband is made from plastic, but is a solid feel, with metal hinges at the pivot points and the familiar ratcheting action when you open or retract the earcups. The cups are cushioned and have soft pads that can be worn over your ears without putting pressure on your head. When folded they weigh 238g. They can be used with an overcoat or sweater since the noise cancelling function works even when they're not on your head.

Despite their reputation as comfortable headphones they do not offer the best sound at this price. The frequencies are relatively flat and lack the details that more expensive headphones might be able to bring out. The upper registers tend to be amplified which is great for most music genres but could be a problem for delicate or intricate genres of music. The bass is good but lacks punch.

The possibility of pauseing the playback after removing the headset is a feature not available. This is a feature Bose's rivals have offered for years. Another oversight is the absence of an in-app EQ. Bose offers preset EQ settings within the app however it would be nice to have a manual control.

You can connect to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth 5.0 with support for multipoint and the more advanced codecs like aptX Adaptive. Download the Bose Audio App to adjust your headsets sound and voice settings.

The QC45s also come with four built-in microphones that pick up your voice during calls. The headphones have good call quality, but they don't allow you to muffle the sound during playback as other wireless headphones. Update: As of February 2022, a firmware upgrade to the QC45s gave you manual EQ options in the audio app, which is a welcome improvement.

3. Focal Bathys Wireless

Focal is a French audio company known for high-performance headphones that last for a long time, comfort and a style that makes listeners feel like they're listening to something special. The Bathys are their first wireless noise cancelling headphones. They are stunning in appearance and sound. They come with a top-quality USB DAC built in, making them suitable both for wired and wireless listening.

The Bathys come with a great battery performance, with Focal claims of 30 hours of continuous Bluetooth playtime. We had more than 40 hours of playback on average on a single charge. If you require a recharge, there's a light on the right ear cup that turns red when the earphone needs to be charged.

They have a decent amount of features for a pair of headphones of this price point with support for multiple devices at once and automatic pairing (though you'll need to select the source device every time you need to listen). The headphones have an inbuilt microphone that works with voice assistants, such as Siri or Alexa. The headphones also have an intuitive interface that makes it easy to control your music as well as make calls.

Bathys over-ear headphones do well in our noise cancellation test, reducing ambient noise by an average of 9 decibels. It's not as effective as the ANC found in the Sony WH1000XM4 or Bose QuietComfort45/QC45 Wireless but it's still effective.

In our tests of headphone sound quality in our tests of headphone sound quality, the Bathys were a good overall performer with an overall frequency response that is in line with the SoundGuys headphone preference curve, with only minor differences in the bass and mids. They have a bass-rich sound pattern that adds a lot of boom to the mix, however, they can make instruments and vocals like cymbals seem a bit veiled.

They also have excellent leakage resistance, so you can wear them out in public without worrying about other people hearing your music. Their mic is passable for recording using Bluetooth with only a slight distortion between the mid-treble and treble.

4. Sennheiser Momentum 4

The Sennheiser Momentum Wireless is a new version of the company's most popular Bluetooth headsets. The previous model, called the Momentum 3, was a decent but not a standout in the class. The new pair is a significant improvement over the previous model, featuring an elegant design, enhanced gesture control, and a huge battery life.

The improvements are subtle, but make for an over-ear set of headphones that feels like an upgrade. The Momentum 4s are flat and don't fold. They come with a hardshell case to protect them while traveling. The Momentum 4s are device-agnostic, like many other Bluetooth headphones from recent years, such as the ones from Bowers & Wilkins and Sony. They work with both Apple iPhones and Android phones, but lack the AirPods additional features such as Find My Support and head-tracked spatial audio.

The most obvious difference in this model is the huge battery that promises up to 60 hours of playback with the noise cancellation option enabled. That's easily double what most of the competition can offer and is enough for a trip of a lifetime without having to worry about finding an outlet to charge them up.

Engadget senior editor Billy Steele gave the headphones an 82 score with a focus on their audio quality and ANC as two of their strengths. The only issue he has is that they lack a sense weight in the mids and the treble. This means that orchestral music tends to sound flat rather than grand. The bass is well-rounded but it can sound too loud, which can cause fatigue in songs that have heavy bass lines, like the drum hits in As I Lay Dying’s Forever. The cymbals sound a bit sizzled, not full. There's also not much depth to the lows.
