Best Over-Ear Headphones

In contrast to earbuds, headphones over-ear encapsulate your ears completely and allow larger drivers to provide deeper bass and wider soundstages. They also have active noise cancellation and Bluetooth technology.

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

1. Sony WH-1000XM4 buy wireless headphones

Sony has made improvements to an already-great pair of headphones with the WH-1000XM4 Wireless. They're less heavy, feel better built, have an improved sound profile that is more balanced (though still bass heavy), and come with an app that allows for some audio customization. Their active noise cancelling works better than it did before, removing more ambient sound, and they have a longer battery life than many competitors.

These headphones use Bluetooth 5.0 and Headphones Blutooth support SBC, AAC, and Sony's own LDAC codec. This codec can transfer high-resolution audio however, you'll need compatible equipment and streaming service. The WH-1000XM4s can also allow you to connect two Bluetooth devices at the same time and automatically switch between them as needed. 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 manage when making a phone call or listening to media. Sony also included a feature that helps voices sound more clear and precise when calling which is evident and a nice feature.

While the WH1000XM4s aren't perfect, they're some of the most comfortable wireless headphones we've ever tried. They are comfortable and well-constructed, and come with a an energy-efficient battery that can last for more than 30 continuous hours. They can be used as a passive device by using an TRS cable. This is perfect for traveling or conserving energy.

The WH1000XM4s are a better alternative to the Bowers & Wilkins Wireless Over-Ears PX7 S2. The Sonys are more comfy, and their ANC can block out more ambient sounds. The B&Ws come with an EQ that is more flexible and an app companion to adjust the audio performance. The B&Ws are built better, and can pair with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. Additionally, Headphones Blutooth they support aptX HD and feature a unique AI-driven engine that attempts to boost compressed music to high-resolution. This is referred to as DSEE Extreme and it does an excellent job of improving the clarity of music, particularly when listening to lossless music.

2. Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless

The $329 Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-canceling headphones are the latest iteration of a headphone that became a standard for commuters as well as travelers from all over the world. Rather than reinventing the wheel the new model follows the same formula that made its predecessor so popular, but adds the USB-C port, which is better at cancelling noise and a longer battery life.

Like the QC 35 II before them, these over-ear Bose headphones have a premium look and feel that exudes quality. The headband, made of plastic, has a solid feel thanks to the metal hinges at pivot points. It also features the ratcheting mechanism that is familiar when you expand or retract your earcups. The cups are cushioned and feature soft pads that are comfortable to wear over your ears without putting pressure on your head. When folded they weigh 238 grams. They can be paired with a coat or sweater because they function even when not on the head.

Despite their reputation for comfort, the QC45s can't offer the best sound in this price range. The frequencies are comparatively flat and lack the details that higher-end headphones may be capable of bringing out. The upper registers tend to be boosted, which is fine for most music but can become a problem for more delicate or intricate genres of music. The bass is great, but it lacks the punch.

One feature that's not present is the ability to pause playback whenever you take the headset off. This is a feature Bose's competitors have offered for years. Another oversight was the absence of an in-app EQ. Bose has preset EQs in the app, but it would be nice to have an option to manually control.

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 audio and voice assistant settings.

The QC45s come with four microphones that are built-in to hear your voice while on the phone. The quality of calls is generally very good but the headphones don't come with the handy ability to mute your voice during playback, which is something that other wireless headphones do. Update: A firmware upgrade for the QC45s came out in February 2022 included manual EQ options to the audio app. This is a great upgrade.

3. Focal Bathys Wireless

Focal is a French audio brand that produces high-performance headphones. They are well-known for their comfort and style that let listeners know that they're listening to something special. The Bathys are their first wireless noise cancelling headphones. They are stunning in appearance and sound. They come with a top-quality USB DAC built in, making them suitable both for wireless and wired listening.

Focal claims that the Bathys can play Bluetooth music for 30 hours. We actually got a little more, with over 40 hours on average out of just one charge. If you need to recharge, there's a light on the right ear cup that will turn red when the headphone needs to be charged.

For a pair of headphones blutooth for this price, they come with a lot of features. They can be used with multiple devices at once and feature automatic pairing. (You will need to select the device you want to pair with manually every time you listen.) The headphones come with an inbuilt microphone that works with voice assistants like Siri or Alexa. They also come with an easy-to-use interface, making it easy to control your music and take calls.

For over-ear wireless headphones, the Bathys perform very well in our tests of noise cancellation. They cut down the sound of the surrounding environment by about 9 decibels on average. This isn't as impressive as the ANC in the Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless, but it's still quite effective.

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

They also have very good leakage resistance, so 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 is a new version of the company's flagship Bluetooth headsets. The last pair, the Momentum 3, was a solid but unspectacular entry in the category. The latest model is improved over the previous model with modern design, better gesture controls, and an enormous battery life.

The improvements here are subtle but they add up to create a pair of over-ears that appear to be an upgrade from the old one. The Momentum 4s are flat and don't fold. They come with an outer case that protects them while moving. They also follow the pattern of several other recent Bluetooth headphones, including those from Sony and Bowers & Wilkins, to be completely device-independent. They can be used with Apple iPhones as well as Android phones, but they do not have the AirPods additional features such as Find My Support and head-tracked spatial audio.

The most significant difference is the massive battery that can play for up to 60 hours with noise cancellation turned on. This is more than what the majority of the competitors offer and is enough for a multi-day trip without having to worry about finding an outlet to charge them.

Engadget senior editor Billy Steele gave the headphones an 82-point score, citing their audio quality and ANC as their main strengths. The only thing he dislikes is that they lack a sense weight in the mids and treble, meaning that orchestral tracks tend to sound flat rather than grand. The bass is rounded, but it can be overemphasised and can cause fatigue in songs with strong bass lines, like the drums that are pounding in As I Lay Dying's Forever. The cymbals sound smoky rather than full and there's no feeling of depth in the lows.

The Momentum 4s should not put pressure on your neck or ears. However they can be a bit uncomfortable when worn around the house or for longer listening sessions, and can move around on your head, causing intense head movements. This could cause them to suddenly wake up and can cause distraction when you are listening to music or calls. Fortunately they will shut down after 15 minutes of sleep by default and can be manually switched off using the power button.
