Best Over-Ear Headphones

Over-ear headphones, unlike earbuds are able to completely encapsulate your ears. They also have larger drivers that deliver deeper bass and a wider soundstage. Many come with Bluetooth technology and active noise cancellation.

The Master & Dynamic MW65 has been updated with superior audio and multiple ANC modes, and a long battery life.

1. Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless

Sony has improved an already great pair of headphones by introducing the WH1000XM4 wireless Headphones bluetooth. They are more lightweight, better constructed and feature an audio profile that is more balanced (though they are bass heavy). They also have an app to adjust the sound. They've improved their active noise cancellation, removing more background noises and have a longer battery life.

These headphones are Bluetooth 5.0 compatible and Sony LDAC is also compatible with. The latter is able to transfer high-resolution audio, however you'll need compatible devices and streaming services. The WH-1000XM4s also allows you to connect two Bluetooth devices at the same time and automatically switch between the two when required. You can enable this feature via the Sony Headphones Connect app and it works very well.

The touch panels are more sensitive than the XM3. They respond faster to a tap on panels and are simpler to control when making calls or listening to music. Sony has also added a feature to make voices sound more precise and clear during calls. This is a noticeable and pleasant addition.

While the WH1000XM4s aren't perfect, they're one of the most comfortable wireless headphones we've ever tested. They're comfortable, well made, and Wireless Headphones Bluetooth have an impressive battery that can last more than 30 hours continuously. They can be used as a passive device using an TRS cable. This is perfect to travel with or for storing energy.

The WH1000XM4s provide a superior alternative to the Bowers & Wilkins Wireless Over-Ears PX7 S2. The Sonys are more comfy, and their ANC is able to block out more background noise. They also have an application that lets you adjust their audio performance and EQ settings are more flexible than the B&W's. The B&Ws are built better and can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. They also support aptXHD and have an AI-driven engine that attempts to scale compressed music up to high-resolution. This is called DSEE Extreme and it does well in improving the clarity of music, especially when listening to lossless files.

2. Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless

The $329 Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-canceling headphones are the most recent version of a headset that became a standard for commuters as well as travelers from all over the world. Rather than reinventing the wheel, the new model retains the same formula that made the 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 feature an elegant design and feel that exudes quality. The headband is made of plastic, but is a solid feel, with hinges made of metal at pivot points and the ratcheting mechanism that is familiar when you extend or retract the ear cups. The cups feature soft, cushioned pads that are securely positioned over your ears and don't put pressure to your head. They weigh 238 grams and are fairly compact when folded. They can be worn with a coat or sweater because they function even when not on the head.

Despite their reputation for comfort, the QC45s do not provide the best sound quality in this price range. The frequencies are dull and lack the depth that higher-end headphones might be able bring out. The higher registers tend to be boosted and is suitable for most music, but could be a problem for delicate or intricate genres of music. The bass is decent, but it lacks the punch.

The ability to pause playback after removing the headset is a feature that is absent. This is a feature Bose's competitors have offered for several years. Another oversight was the absence of an in-app EQ. Bose offers preset EQs within the app but it would be nice if there was a manual control.

You can connect to your tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth 5.0 with support for multipoint and the more advanced codecs such as aptX Adaptive. You can download the Bose Audio app to adjust your headset's sound and voice assistant settings.

The QC45s come with four microphones built-in to pick up your voice when you are on the phone. The quality of calls is generally good however, the headphones do not have the capability to turn off your voice during playback, which is a feature that other wireless headphones do. Update: As of February 2022, the firmware update to the QC45s gave you manual EQ options within the audio app, which is a welcome improvement.

3. Focal Bathys wireless headhpones

Focal is a French audio company known for high-performance headphones with long lasting comfort and a style that let listeners know they're listening to something truly special. Their first venture into wireless headphones that block noise the Bathys, are stunning headphones that sound and look great. They also come with a built-in high-performance USB DAC which means you can use them for wired and wireless listening.

Focal claims that the Bathys can play Bluetooth music for 30 hours. We got more than 40 hours of playback time on average on a single charge. If you need to charge your headphones in the future, the indicator light on the right earcup will change red.

They come with a wide range of features for wireless Headphones Bluetooth headphones of this price with support for multiple devices simultaneously and automatic pairing (though you'll need to select the source device every time you need to listen). The headphones have built-in microphones that can be used with voice assistants such as Siri or Alexa. The headphones also feature an easy-to-use interface that makes it simple to control your music and take calls.

Bathys over-ear headphones perform well in our noise cancellation test, reducing ambient noise by an average of 9 decibels. It's not as impressive as the ANC in the Sony WH-1000XM4 or Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless but it's still quite effective.

The Bathys headphones did well in our headphone sound tests. Their frequency response was generally similar to the headphone curve of SoundGuys with minor differences on the bass and mids. The Bathys are bassy sound that can make instruments, vocals and cymbals look a bit veiled.

They also have very good leakage resistance, which means you can wear them out in public without worrying about other people listening to your music. The microphone is able to be used to record via Bluetooth with just a little distortion between the mid-treble and treble.

4. Sennheiser Momentum 4

The Sennheiser Momentum Wireless are a new version of the company's top-of-the-line Bluetooth headphones. The Momentum 3 was a solid but not a great entry in this category. The new model is a step up from the previous generation, with more sleek design, better gesture control, and a huge battery life.

The improvements here are subtle, but they add up to make a pair that seem like a step up from the previous model. The Momentum 4s lie flat and don't fold however they come with a nice hardshell case that protects them on the go. The Momentum 4s are compatible with all devices, just like other Bluetooth headphones from recent times, like those from Bowers & Wilkins and Sony. This means they can work with both Android phones and Apple iPhones, however they don't have the extra features (like Find My support and head-tracked spatial audio) that you'll find on the AirPods.

The most obvious difference here is the massive battery that promises up to 60 hours of playback time with the noise cancellation feature enabled. This is easily twice the amount of the competition and enough to take a multi-day journey without worrying about finding an outlet.

Engadget senior editor Billy Steele gave the headphones an 82 score, citing their audio quality and ANC as two of their strengths. He has only one complaint that they lack gravitas in the mids and the treble. This makes orchestral music sounds flat, not grand. The bass is rounded, but it's easy to over-emphasize and can cause fatigue in songs with heavy bass lines, like the drums that are pounding in As I Lay Dying's Forever. The cymbals sound a bit sizzled, not full. There's also not much depth to the lows.

The Momentum 4s are comfortable and shouldn't put too much pressure on your neck or ears. However, they can be difficult to wear around the house or during longer listening sessions. They will move about on your head in a flurry of head movements. This can cause them suddenly wake up and can cause distraction during calls or music. Fortunately they shut down after 15 minutes of sleep by default and can be manually switched off with the power button.
