The Best Wireless Headphones

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

The active noise cancellation system reduces the low rumble from bus engines and chatty colleagues. They are extremely comfortable to wear over long periods of time.

1. Sony WH-1000XM5

The WH1000XM5s headphones are Sony's flagship. The WH-1000XM5s represent a major upgrade over the XM4s. They feature more noise cancellation and intelligent features. The headphones are more expensive, but have an elegant design and feel. They have plenty to offer, and they're a great choice for commuters and frequent travellers.

The new headphones feature a sleek minimalist design, made from recycled plastic. They're much lighter than previous models, too. The headband has been cushioned with soft material to make it more comfortable. The earcups are also reduced in size to allow them to be placed closer to the ear for less sound leakage.

They have an auto-adaptive ANC system that's capable of altering the volume it pumps out depending on the environment. The ANC isn't as effective at removing low-frequency noise as Bose's QuietComfort 45 or QC45 Wireless however, it does a great job of tackling mid and high-frequency noise, such as office chatter and airplane engine roar.

Wearing Detection is another feature that detects when you remove your headphones and automatically pauses the music. The music will resume when you put on the headphones again. Speak-to-Chat allows you to communicate with a person without taking off your headphones. It's a good idea but it's not perfect. Sometimes, the audio will switch back when you finish talking.

The DSEE-HX Extreme audio processing Engine from Sony is also included. This process upscales compressed audio to provide it with more clarity and clarity. This isn't a feature is evident in normal use, but it can make a difference when listening to high-quality tracks.

These headphones are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 which provides more high-bitrate streaming than many other headsets. This will improve their performance when listening to music on your laptop, mobile phone or tablet. They also support multi-point connection which means you can connect them with two devices at the at the same time. This is especially useful when you want to listen to music on one device while using them for hands-free calls.

2. Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless

Sennheiser MOMENTUM Wireless headphones aren't exactly the most original however that doesn't mean they're not a great pair. These headphones are incredibly comfortable and offer noise cancellation and 60 hours of battery life. It's more than double the length of most competitors with the Sony WH-1000XM5 and the Bowers & Wilkins PX8 Wireless delivering 30 to 40 hours on the charge. The MOMENTUM's impressive battery life is a result of numerous power-saving features such as sleep and an on-head detection.

Sennheiser headphones are among the top Bluetooth headsets that are available. They offer a well-balanced combination of rich bass and warm mids which never overwhelm one another. The high end is clear and not being blazing or bright, and the headphone's excellent clarity means it can effortlessly handle action movie soundtracks that have plenty of brash. The Control app lets you alter the sound profile as well as add an EQ, which makes it easy to customize the headphones to suit your personal preferences.

The MOMENTUM wireless blutooth headphones is a little less robust than the wired version, yet it is still solid and well-built. Their comfortable ear pads are also soft and comfortable, and they rest securely on the Head Phones. I have worn them all day, whether working at home or on the plane. However, they are not ideal for working out, because they can slip off your ears when you're moving fast.

The MOMENTUM 4 delivers excellent ANC performance, but not as good as the Sony WH-1000XM5. They are capable of blocking out background noise and low rumbles that come from plane and bus engines, but not so well at removing chatter from passengers. They do have the added benefit of supporting aptX audio which offers higher maximum bitrates than the AAC and SBC used by the Sonys.

The ear cups of the Sennheisers swivel to lay flat, but they don't fold like other models. Nonetheless, the headphones are compact enough to fit into their hard carrying case when they are not in use, making them ideal for commute and travel.

3. Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2

Bowers & Wilkins second-generation wireless headphones are among the top noise-cancelling headphones you can buy. They compete with top competitors like Bose's WH-1000XM5 from Sony and the QuietComfort 65, while offering top-quality build quality, amazing comfort, and audiophile sound performance. They don't feature extravagant features or control using touch gestures like a lot of premium Bluetooth headphones. Instead, they're designed to provide an audio experience that is immersive and enjoyable.

The Px7's S2's ANC is effective in reducing background noise. It can be effectively isolated from low-frequency sounds such as plane and bus engines and mid-range sounds like high-pitched laptop fans. They aren't able to isolate as effectively from higher-frequency sounds like conversations or traffic, but they do a better job than their predecessors. The Bowers & Wilkins app also lets you fine-tune your ANC to fit your hearing.

They sport a stylish design, with an elegant headband and ear cups that feature leatherette memory foam padding. The headphones are heavier than other top noise cancelling over-ear headsets, but they feel worth the cost due to their sturdy design and thoughtful build. They're comfortable when you listen to music for prolonged durations and are ideal for head Phones use at home, at work, or on long flights.

When it comes to sound, the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2's 40mm dynamic drivers deliver strong bass, crisp highs, and spacious, detailed imaging.

The buttons are tactile and textured tiny details that adds to the headphones' premium experience. They're sturdy and will not fall off your head and fold into a compact case that makes it easy to transportation.

4. V-Moda S-80

The V-Moda S-80 headphones are an exception to the rule that you only get the value you pay for. They are among the best-looking wireless headphones, and feature a sleek, durable design. However, they cost almost as much as the Sony WH-1000XM5 or Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 -- a lot of money for on-ear headphones.

The V-Moda S-80 is the first wireless-only headphone wireless bluetooth by the company. It can be worn on your head, or wrapped around your neck as a personal speaker (earcups facing upwards). They're tuned to enhance modern electronic music with a dazzling sound and support the latest audio codes like Qualcomm's HD aptX. They have interchangeable magnet shields and customizable colors so you can make your headphones unique in appearance to match your outfit.

The S-80 is a nice change from the M-Series, but they have some flaws that make them unsuitable for all. The 12.5 ounces of weight makes them feel heavy, particularly when worn on the ear. This can cause pressure on the ear, which can cause headaches within an hour. The headband is also somewhat stiff and Head phones can be uncomfortable while wearing the headphones around your neck.

The S-80 has poor noise cancellation. Even at moderate volume levels it's possible to hear significant background noise. The lack of ANC is not a deal breaker however, you'll want to limit the amount of time you listen for about 20 hours.

The S-80 isn't equipped with a 3.5mm connector, which hinders connectivity and can prevent it from being used for intense physical activities. The S-80 isn't foldable and does not come with a case. This affects their mobility and stowability. The rugged design of the S-80 and outstanding sound quality counterbalance these drawbacks. The Immortal Life Program guarantees a new pair of headphones for 50% off the retail price in the event they break, suffer a scratch, or lose their value.
