Which Over the Ear Headphones Are the Best?

If you're on the train or at work the noise-cancelling headphones can be a godsend for those who love to listen. Which ones are the best?

With a fresh design that is a step up in sound quality, and a plethora of features, Sony's new flagship headphones are a great value. From the forceful chorus to Sinead O'Connor's unstable bridge, these headphones provide amazing clarity and realism.

1. Sony WH-1000XM5

Sony is an expert in noise cancellation, and its WH-1000XM5 headphones are the top model of this line. A few well-thought-out upgrades over ear headphones noise cancelling bluetooth the XM4s make these headphones an excellent all-round pair of headphones, particularly for commuters and travelers. They're comfortable, have multipoint technology that allows you to connect to two devices at once and feature the most powerful ANC Sony has ever created. They're also lightweight and provide around 27 hours of playback time without charging, which is sufficient for a week's worth commutes or a long-haul flight.

The WH-1000XM5s sport a sleek, minimalist design and are made of recycled and recyclable plastic, known as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Branding is minimal, though you'll find the "Sony" logo on the hinge of each earcup. The earcups and headband are cushioned with plush soft material that is comfortable on all heads. The ears can be adjusted to be perfectly sized for you.

In contrast to previous models, which focused on reducing low frequency noise, the XM5s amplify the sound waves at higher frequencies to cancel out background noise. This improves the overall sound quality, and can help reduce cabin and engine noise on flights. The XM5s have another processor to increase noise cancellation further on airplanes and the audio application can also automatically adjust your listening environment based on data on air pressure.

The WH-1000XM5s also has a voice assistant that is easy to use, and it works with Alexa as well as Google Assistant, Siri, and many more. You can also pair the XM5s to other Sony audio products to enable multi-room music playback as well as stereo separation. They're compatible with Bluetooth high-bitrate audio streaming using Sony's LDAC codec however they don't support the aptX or aptX HD.

2. Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless

Sennheiser has been manufacturing headphones for over 50 years. You can expect a superior sound quality, as well as a comfortable fit. They've delivered on both counts with their latest pair of over-ears named the Momentum 4 Wireless. They've revamped their design to eliminate some characteristic elements that gave their original models their aviator-style headset look. They also upgraded active noise cancellation by using their advanced Adaptive Noise Cancellation Technology. They've evaluated these headphones to last for 60 hours of listening with ANC enabled, which doubles the battery life of many other competitors.

The new model is more compact, since it folds down and is a bit smaller. The ear pads and headband are made of artificial PU leather, which is comfortable on my head even when I wear it all day. There's not much clamping force to keep them in place either, so they should remain comfortable during flights and during longer workouts.

The sound is clear and well-balanced However, there are a few peaking in the low-mid and high-mid, which can cause slight muddiness in mixes. The bass is a little overemphasized, which adds a little energy and thump to genres such as EDM or hip-hop. It's not a huge deal however some listeners might find it irritating. The high-mid has some uneven balance too that pushes instruments and vocals to the forefront of mixes, but at the cost of bringing out sibilants within some songs.

The Sennheiser momentum 4 wireless has all the usual features such as Bluetooth wireless connectivity, a transparent mode that blends outside noises into your music for improved awareness, as well as mobile application support for pre-set and custom EQ options. You can also use a 3.5mm cord to connect your phone. They can use SBC, AAC, aptX HD and aptX Adaptive codecs to connect to your device and they're able to cut down the latency to as little as one quarter of a second and that's a huge benefit.

3. B&W PX7 S2

Since their introduction in the year 2000, the original PX7s have been featured on numerous lists of the best Bluetooth headphones, and have been ranked high in many instances due to their outstanding ANC and high-quality sound. But, like all wireless headphones, they've been getting older and required to be refreshed and hence the PX7 S2. B&W didn't just change the design and design, but also made enhancements to ANC, and added more voice-calling features.

The PX7 S2 headphones are very lightweight, which makes them comfortable for long listening sessions. The design of the PX7 S2 is largely similar to the model before it. This includes the stylish oval-shaped aluminium top-plate for the earcups the hook-like accent that slides rather than clicks when you expand the headband, and the physical buttons. The earcups are smaller, and the headband isn't as substantial.

B&W's software lets you adjust the EQ settings of the bass and treble. However, you don't have as much control as you do with more expensive headphones. A Quick Action button on the left earcup switches between various modes of the environment. It can also be set within the Bowers & Wilkins Music app to call your device's voice assistant.

The PX7 S2 sounds great for the majority of musical styles, with a soundstages that have ample width and great separation between the various elements of sound. It shines in particular on works that showcase acoustic instruments, like Rachmaninoff's Cello Sonata in G Minor Op. 19 by pianist Yuja Wang and cellist Gautier Capeucon, with a woody tone and an airy feel. It's also able to handle heavier fare and has the bass punch and midrange clarity on Entombed's garage/death-n'roll crossover curiosity To Ride the Straight, Bose noise cancelling headphones 700 over ear Shoot Straight and Bose noise Cancelling headphones 700 Over ear Speak the Truth giving an impressive sound wall while allowing to hear vocal details such as Lars-Goran Petrov's gritty growl.

4. bose noise cancelling headphones 700 over ear QuietComfort 35

Bose is among the first companies to introduce active noise cancelling headphones into the mainstream. They held a stranglehold for a long time, but now they have to compete with newer headsets that offer more features and superior audio quality. QuietComfort 35 remains a great choice for those who want to listen to their podcasts or music without hums or rumbles.

The default sound profile is balanced, and they're comfortable to wear. The ANC does a fantastic job of removing background noise, though it tends to focus on low frequencies more than modern headphones such as the Sony WH-1000XM5.

If you're looking for a pair that can be used to listen to podcasts or audiobooks The QC35s come with an impressive passive noise cancellation mode which reduces ambient noise while keeping you adrift from the sounds of the environment around you. The QC35s also let you connect two bluetooth over ear headphones noise cancelling devices at once and "audio-share" so that you can listen to music on one pair of headphones and answer an incoming call from the other.

The Bose Connect app is decent but doesn't provide the full EQ options of some other headphone apps. The QC35s are also available in wired mode, but the sound quality is significantly diminished and battery life isn't as great as with wireless models.

The QC35s have an established Bose style that may not be as appealing to some consumers as the sleeker designs of other brands. However you can add a bit of personalization by purchasing a decal cover-up from companies such as SlickWraps and Skin Sticker. In the coming year you'll be able to alter the color of the earcups as well as the headbands, just like the earlier QC25.

5. Sony WH-1000XM3

Sony's WH1000XM3 is among the top wireless headphone with active noise cancellation that you can purchase right now. They're more expensive than Anker Soundcore Q20 Wireless but they isolate more ambient noise. They also come with a superior companion app that offers many sound customization options.

The XM3's excellent sound quality is one of the main reasons why they're popular and they've been improved since their launch to offer the best performance. They're a bit more detail in the frequency spectrum. The noise cancellation is more effective at all levels of volume. They also have better controls like Quick Attention mode and Speak-to chat. The latest feature, Adaptive sound control, automatically adjusts the amount of external sound that is allowed in based on where you are and what you are doing.

They're not without their own problems, however. The treble can sound a little overpowering at times and the midrange sounds slightly more recessed. They are still prone to boost the bass too much on some tracks, which makes them sound too heavy and full. However, this is something you can address through the headphone settings or via EQ adjustments in the Sony app.

The XM3s are an excellent pair of headphones, particularly for commuters or frequent travelers. They are more comfortable, appear and feel premium, and last longer than the JBL Live 650 BTNC wireless. They also have a more powerful battery and one of the most effective noise cancellation features available. They're also more adaptable and better-equipped for mobile use than the Audio-Technica's ATH-M50X Wireless, despite having less impressive noise cancellation. They're not waterproof which can be a major issue for some.
