The Best Wireless Headphones

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

They also have an active noise cancellation system that easily reduces the low rumble of bus engines, or chatty coworkers. They are extremely comfortable to wear over long periods.

1. Sony WH-1000XM5

The WH1000XM5s is Sony's flagship headphones. They're an improvement over the XM4s with better noise cancellation and intelligent features. They're also a bit more expensive, but they offer a premium look and feel. They have a lot going for them and are a good choice for commuters and frequent travellers.

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

They feature an automatic adaptive ANC system that is capable of altering the volume it pumps out depending on your environment. The ANC doesn't block the same amount of low frequency noise as Bose QuietComfort 45 Wireless or QC45 however, it can be effective in reducing the high and mid-frequency sounds, like airplane engine roars and office chatter.

Other smart features include Wearing Detection that detects when you take off the headphones and then automatically stops your music - and it starts playing again as soon as you put them back on. Speak-to Chat lets you talk with someone without removing your headphones. It's a good idea however it's not perfect. Sometimes the audio will change back after you've finished talking.

The DSEE-HX Extreme Audio Processing Engine from Sony is also included. This feature can boost compressed audio to provide it with greater clarity and clarity. This is not a feature you'll notice every day, but it can make a an enormous difference when listening to high-quality music.

These headphones are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 which provides higher-bitrate streaming than most other headsets. This should enhance their performance when you listen to music via your mobile phone, laptop or tablet. They also support multipoint connection so you can pair with two devices at once. This is particularly useful when you would like to listen to music while using the device to make hands-free phone calls.

2. Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless

Sennheiser MOMENTUM Wireless headphones aren't the most unique, but that doesn’t mean they're not a good pair. These headphones over-ear offer exceptional noise cancellation and a staggering 60 hours of battery. That's easily double the duration of the majority of competitors with the Sony WH-1000XM5 as well as the Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless delivering 30 to 40 hours on a charge. The MOMENTUM 4's incredible endurance is due in part to a range of power-saving features, including sleep and on-head recognition.

Sennheiser headphones are among the best Bluetooth headsets that are available. They feature a symbiotic combination of powerful bass and warm mids which never overwhelm one another. The high end is clear and not being bright or piercing and the headphone's outstanding clarity makes it able to handle action film soundtracks that have plenty of brash. The Control app lets you adjust the sound profile and also add an EQ, making it easy to tailor the headphones to your personal preferences.

The MOMENTUM Wireless is a bit less durable than the wired version, but still feels sturdy and well-built. The ear pads of the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless are soft and supple and rest comfortably on the head. I used them all day when I was working at home or on a plane. They're not as ideal for working out however, because they can fall off your ears when you move your head quickly.

Like their predecessors, the MOMENTUM 4's ANC performance is outstanding however, it's not as high-quality as the Sony WH-1000XM5. They cut out low noise from plane and bus engines, but don't do an excellent job of blocking out chatter from passengers or other noises in the surrounding. They also have the benefit of aptX audio, which provides greater maximum bitrates than AAC and SBC used by the Sonys.

The earcups on the Sennheisers are able to rotate to lay flat, but don't fold like other models. Nonetheless, the headphones are small enough to fit inside their hard carrying case when they're not in use, which makes them ideal for commute and HeadphonesShop 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 available. They are in close competition with top contenders such as Bose's QuietComfort 65, while offering top-quality build quality, amazing comfort, and audiophile sound performance. Contrary to other Premium TFUFR Wireless Bluetooth Over Ear Headphones Bluetooth headsets, these don't come with a range of extravagant features or touch-based gesture controls however, they are designed to deliver an audio experience that is as immersive and satisfying as is possible.

The Px7 S2's ANC is very effective at reducing ambient noise, and has a high level of isolation against low-frequency rumbles like plane and bus engines, mid-range sounds like office chatter, and high-pitched whirls of laptop fans. The ANC on the Px7 S2 is less effectively from higher-frequency sounds, like traffic and conversations however it does a better job at removing them. Bowers & Wilkins' app allows you to alter your ANC to your hearing.

The headphones have a premium look, with a leatherette memory foam ear cup and headband. The headphones weigh a little more than the other top headphones however, their robust build and thoughtful design makes them worth the investment. The headphones are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, whether at home, work or even on a long trip.

In terms of sound quality, 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 sound elements making them a great option for listening to music or podcasts. They are compatible with the aptX Adaptive Codec, which allows you to stream hi-res audio at minimal latency.

The controls on the Px7 S2 are easy to use. They include the volume up/down button, a play/pause switch and the earcup button. The buttons are comfortable, and the texture makes for a premium feel of these headphones. 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 what you pay for. They're among the prettiest wireless headphones and feature a sleek and durable design. Unfortunately, they also cost nearly as much as the Sony WH-1000XM5 and Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 which is a lot of money for on-ear headphones.

The V-Moda S-80 is the first wireless-only headphone from the company. They can be placed on your head or tied around your neck to create a personal speaker (earcups facing upwards). They're tuned to provide a clear sound that enhances modern electronic music and support advanced audio codecs such as Qualcomm's aptX HD. They have magnet shields that are interchangeable and can be customized in colors, allowing you to make your headphones distinctive in style that matches your outfit.

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

The S-80 has poor noise cancellation. Even at moderate volumes, you can hear background noise. It's not a major issue however, the absence of ANC means that you'll likely want to limit the amount of time you listen to music to around 20 hours per charge.

The S-80 lacks the 3.5mm connector, which limits connectivity and can prevent it from being used for intense physical exercise. The S-80 cannot be folded and doesn't come with an enclosure. This reduces their portability and stowability. However, the S-80's sturdy construction and headphonesshop high sound quality help to offset the limitations. The Immortal Life Program guarantees a new pair of headphones bluetooth at 50% off the retail price in the event that they break, scratch or scratch or otherwise lose their value.
