Best Over-Ear edge headphones

Over-ear headphones, unlike earbuds, are able to completely encapsulate your ears. They also allow for larger drivers that deliver deeper bass and a bigger soundstage. A majority of them feature Bluetooth technology and active noise cancellation.

The Master & Dynamic MW65 is updated with better audio and various ANC mode and an impressive battery life.

1. Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphnes

Sony has improved on an already-great pair of headphones with the WH-1000XM4 Wireless. They're lighter, feel more constructed, and have an improved sound profile that is more balanced (though still bass-heavy), and come with an app that allows for some audio customization. They have improved their active noise cancellation, removing more ambient sounds and have a longer battery life.

These headphones are Bluetooth 5.0 compatible and Sony LDAC is also supported. These headphones can transmit high-resolution audio, however, you'll need compatible devices and streaming services. In addition, the WH1000XM4s can connect to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously and automatically switch between them if needed. You can enable this feature via the Sony Headphones Connect app and it works flawlessly.

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

Although the WH-1000XM4s may not be perfect, they're one of the most comfortable wireless headphones we've ever tested. They are comfortable, well-made, and have a battery that can last for more than 30 continuous hours. They can also be used in a passive manner using the TRS cable which is great if you're traveling or need to conserve power.

The WH1000XM4s provide a superior alternative to the Bowers & Wilkins Wireless Over-Ears Px7 S2. The Sonys are more comfortable, and their ANC is able to block out more background noise. They also have an app that lets you alter their audio performance, and their EQ settings are more flexible than the B&W's. The B&Ws are built better, and can pair with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. They also support aptXHD, and Wireless.Headphones they have an AI-driven engine that attempts to increase the size of compressed music to high resolution. This is called DSEE Extreme, and it improves the clarity of music when listening to lossless audio files.

2. Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless

The $329 Bose QuietComfort45 noise-canceling headset is the most recent version of a headset that has become a popular choice for commuters and travelers all over the world. Rather than reinventing the wheel the new model follows the same formula that made its predecessor so popular, adding USB-C, improved noise cancellation and a longer battery life.

Like the QC 35 II before them, these over-ear Bose headphones feature an elegant design and feel that oozes quality. The headband, which is made of plastic, provides a firm feel thanks to the hinges made of metal at pivot points. It also features the familiar ratcheting mechanism whenever you extend or retract the ear cups. The cups are soft, cushioned pads that fit comfortably over the 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 your head.

Despite their reputation as comfortable headphones they do not offer the best sound at this price point. The frequencies are flat and lack the detail that more expensive headphones may be able bring out. The higher registers tend to be amplified, which is fine for most music but can cause problems for more delicate or intricate genres of music. The bass is good, but is lacking punch.

The ability to pause the playback when removing the headset is a feature that is absent. This is standard in this price range and is something Bose's competitors have been offering for years. Another oversight is the absence of an in-app EQ. Bose offers preset EQ settings within the app however it would be nice to have manual control.

You can connect to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth 5.0 with multipoint support as well as more advanced codecs such as aptX Adaptive. Download the Bose Audio App to adjust the audio and voice settings.

The QC45s come with four microphones inbuilt to hear your voice when on the phone. The headsets have a good call quality, however they don't allow you to silence the voice when playing back 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 bluetooth

Focal is a French audio company that makes high-performance headphones. They are renowned for their comfort and style which tell listeners that they're listening to something special. The Bathys are their first wireless noise cancelling headphones. They look and sound stunning. They come with a high-performance USB DAC built in, making them suitable both for wireless headphnes and wired listening.

The Bathys come with a great battery performance with Focal claiming 30 hours of continuous Bluetooth playtime. We had more than 40 hours of playback time on average on a single charge. If you are required to charge your headphones in the future, the indicator light on the right earcup will turn red.

They have a decent amount of features for a pair of headphones of this price point with support for multiple devices at the same time and automatic pairing (though you'll need to manually select your source device every time you want to listen). The headphones have an inbuilt microphone that can be used with voice assistants such as Siri or Alexa. The headphones have an easy-to use interface that makes it simple to control music and make calls.

For wireless headphones that are over-ear, the Bathys excel in our test of noise cancellation, reducing the sound of the surrounding environment by about 9 decibels per hour on average. It's not as impressive as the ANC in the Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless, however it's still fairly effective.

The Bathys headphones performed well in our headphone sound tests. Their frequency response was largely similar to the headphone curve of SoundGuys with minor variations in the mids and bass. The Bathys are bassy sound that can make vocals, instruments and cymbals appear unreal.

They also have excellent leakage resistance, so you can wear them out in public without worrying about people listening to your music. Their microphone is suitable to record via Bluetooth with only a slight distortion between the mid-treble and treble.

4. Sennheiser Momentum 4

The Sennheiser Momentum Wireless are a new version of the company's flagship Bluetooth headphones. The last pair, the Momentum 3, was a decent but not a standout into the category. The new pair is a step up from the previous model, featuring more sleek design, better gesture control and an enormous battery life.

The improvements are subtle, but make for an over-ear pair of headphones that feel like an upgrade. The Momentum 4s are flat and don't fold. They come with a hardshell case to protect them while moving. The Momentum 4s are non-device-specific, similar to other Bluetooth headphones from recent times, like the ones from Bowers & Wilkins and Sony. This means they work well with both Android phones and Apple iPhones, but don't have the extra features (like Find My support and head-tracked Spatial Audio) that you'll find on the AirPods.

The most notable change is the huge battery that can play for wireless.headphones up to 60 hours with noise cancellation turned on. This is easily twice as much as most of the competitors and sufficient to allow you to travel for a longer period of time without worrying about finding an outlet.

Engadget senior editor Billy Steele gave the headphones an 82 rating with a focus on their audio quality and ANC as their main strengths. He has only one complaint: they lack a sense gravitas in the mids and the treble. This means that orchestral tracks sound flat, not grand. The bass is well-rounded but it can sound overemphasized, which can cause to fatigue in songs with high-pitched bass lines, like the drum hits in As I Lay Dying’s Forever. The cymbals sound a bit bubbly, but not full. There's also not much depth to the lows.

The Momentum 4s are comfy and aren't likely to put too much pressure on your neck or ears. However they can be a bit uncomfortable when worn 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 to wake up at random which can be distracting when you are listening to music or calls. They shut down automatically after 15 minutes and can be turned off manually using the power button.
