Best Over-Ear Headphones

Over-ear headphones, Introduction Of Bluetooth Technology unlike earbuds, can completely surround the ears. They also have larger drivers that deliver deeper bass and a larger soundstage. They also have active noise cancellation and Bluetooth technology.

The Master & Dynamic MW65 is upgraded with improved audio, numerous ANC mode and an impressive battery life.

1. Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless

Sony has redesigned an already excellent pair of headphones with the WH-1000XM4 Wireless. They are less heavy, more durable and have a more balanced audio profile (though bass-heavy). They also include an app that lets you customize the audio. Their active noise cancelling works better than it did before, removing any background noise. Additionally, they have a longer battery life than many competitors.

These headphones are Bluetooth 5.0 compatible, and Sony LDAC is also compatible with. The latter can transfer high-resolution audio, however, you'll need compatible devices and streaming services. The WH-1000XM4s can also allow you to connect two Bluetooth devices simultaneously and automatically switch between them as required. This feature can be enabled via the Sony Headphones Connect App and works well.

The touch panels are more sensitive than the XM3. They respond faster to tapping on a panel and are easier to control when making calls or listening to music. Sony has also added a feature to make voice calls clearer and more precise during calls. This is a distinct and a nice addition.

The WH-1000XM4s might not be perfect, but they are among the best wireless headphones that we have ever test. They are comfortable, well-made, and have batteries that last for more than 30 continuous hours. They can also be used with the TRS cable, which is ideal for those who travel or want to save power.

The WH-1000XM4s make a better choice than the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 Wireless over-ears. The Sonys are more comfortable and their ANC is able to block out more background noise. The B&Ws come with an EQ that is more flexible, as well as an app that allows you to tweak the audio performance. The B&Ws are built better and can connect to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. They also support aptXHD, and they have an AI-driven engine that attempts to increase the size of compressed music to high-resolution. This is referred to as DSEE Extreme and it does well in improving the clarity of music, particularly when listening to lossless music.

2. Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless

The $329 Bose QuietComfort45 sound cancelling headset is the most current version of a headset which has become a popular choice for commuters and travelers all over the world. The new model does not reinvent the wheel. It retains the same formula that was the basis of its predecessor's success, while adding the USB-C technology and improved noise cancellation.

Similar to the QC 35 II before them, these over-ear Bose headphones feature an elegant design and feel that oozes quality. The headband, constructed of plastic, offers a solid feel thanks to the hinges made introduction Of Bluetooth Technology steel at pivot points. It also has the familiar ratcheting mechanism when you retract or extend the ear cups. The cups feature soft cushioned pads that are securely positioned over your ears and don't put pressure on your head. They weigh 238 grams and are compact when folded. They can be paired with a sweater or coat as they work even when they are not on the head.

Despite their reputation for comfort, the QC45s can't offer the best sound in this price range. The frequencies are dull and lack the details that more expensive bluethooth headphones may be able to bring out. The upper registers tend to be boosted, which is fine for most music but can cause problems for more delicate or intricate genres of music. The bass is great, but it lacks punch.

The ability to pause playback when removing the headset is a feature that's absent. This is a feature that Bose's competitors have offered for many years. Another oversight was the absence of an in-app EQ. Bose has preset EQs in the app, but it would be nice if there was an option to control the EQ manually.

Bluetooth 5.0 is supported, including multipoint and 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 also come with four microphones built into the headset to pick up your voice during calls. The headsets have a good call quality, but they don't permit you to mute the voice during playback as other wireless headphones. Update In February 2022, a firmware update to the QC45s offered manual EQ options within the audio app, which is a welcome improvement.

3. Focal Bathys Wireless

Focal is a French audio brand that is known for high-performance headphones that last for a long time, comfort and a style that lets listeners know they're listening to something special. The Bathys are their first wireless headphone noise cancelling headphones. They are stunning in appearance and sound. They come with a top-quality USB DAC built in, so you can use them both for wireless and wired listening.

The Bathys come with a great battery life, with Focal claiming 30 hours of continuous Bluetooth playtime. We actually got a bit more with more than 40 hours on average out of just one charge. If you do need to recharge, there's an indicator light on the right earcup that turns red when the headphone has to be charged.

They have a decent amount of features for headphones at this price with support for multiple devices simultaneously and automatic pairing (though you'll have to manually select your source device every time you would like to listen). The bluethooth headphones come with a built in microphone that works with voice assistants, such as Siri or Alexa. The headphones have an easy-to navigate interface that makes it easy to control music and make calls.

Bathys over-ear headphones are able to perform in our noise cancellation test, reducing ambient sound by 9 decibels on average. It's not as impressive as the ANC in the Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless but it's still pretty effective.

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

They also have excellent leakage resistance, which means you can wear them out in public without worrying about people listening to your music. The microphone has a decent quality of recording via Bluetooth with only a slight distortion in the mid - to the treble range.

4. Sennheiser Momentum 4

The Sennheiser Momentum Wireless are a new version of the company's flagship Bluetooth headphones. The Momentum 3 was a solid but not a great entry in this category. The new model is an improvement on the previous model, sporting a a sleeker look, improved gesture control, and a huge battery life.

Many of the improvements here are subtle but they add up to create a pair of over-ears that seem like a step up from the old one. The Momentum 4s are flat and don't fold. They come with a hardshell case that protects them while moving. The Momentum 4s are device-agnostic, like many other Bluetooth headphones of recent years, including the ones from Bowers & Wilkins and Sony. They work with both Apple iPhones as well as Android phones, but lack the AirPods additional features such as Find My Support and head-tracked spatial audio.

The most notable difference is the massive battery that can run for up to 60 hours with noise cancellation turned on. This is easily twice as much as most of the competition and enough to allow you to travel for a longer period of time without having to search for an outlet.

Engadget senior editor Billy Steele gave the headphones an 82 score, citing their audio quality and ANC as their main strengths. The only thing he dislikes is that they lack a sense of weight in the mids and the treble, which means that orchestral pieces tend to sound flat rather than grand. The bass is well-rounded but it can sound too loud, which can cause to fatigue in songs with heavy bass lines, like the drum hits in As I Lay Dying’s Forever. The cymbals sound hot, but not a lot. There's also not much depth to the lows.

The Momentum 4s are comfortable and aren't likely to put too much pressure on your neck or ears. They can be a bit fidgety when you wear them at home or for long listening sessions. They will move around on your head, and make rapid head movements. This could cause them to wake up in a sudden manner, which could be distracting when listening to music or making calls. They will shut down automatically after 15 minutes, and can be shut off manually with the power button.
