The Best Wireless Headphones

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

They also have a powerful active noise cancellation system that easily cuts down the low rumble of bus engines or chatty coworkers. They are extremely comfortable to wear for long periods.

1. Sony WH-1000XM5

The WH1000XM5s is Sony's flagship headphones. The WH-1000XM5s are a significant upgrade over the XM4s. They provide superior noise cancellation and smart features. The headphones are more expensive but have an elegant design and feel. These headphones are an excellent choice for those who commute or are frequent travelers.

The new headphones are made from recycled plastic and have sleek, minimalist design. They're also lighter than the previous models. They're comfortable to wear for extended periods, and the headband is now covered with soft padding, which makes it less stiff than it was. The earcups are also smaller, which means they fit more closely to the ear canals to ensure that there is less leakage of sound.

They come with an automatic adaptive ANC system that's capable of adjusting the volume it is based on the environment. The ANC isn't able to block the same amount of low frequency noise as the Bose QuietComfort 45 Wireless or QC45 however, it works well to reduce high and mid frequency noises, such as airplane engine roar and office chatter.

Other smart features include Wearing Detection, which senses when you remove the headphones and instantly pauses the music - and it starts playing again as soon as you put them back on. Speak-to Chat lets you talk with a person without having to remove your headphones. It's surprisingly effective, although it's not the perfect solution and may switch back to audio playback once you're done speaking.

Sony's DSEE HX Extreme audio processing engine is also included. This upscales compressed music to provide it with more clarity and depth. This isn't something you'll notice every day, but it makes huge difference when listening high-resolution music.

These headphones are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 which provides streaming with higher bitrate than other headsets. This should improve their performance when you listen to music on your mobile phone, laptop or tablet. They also support multi-point connections so you can pair them with two devices at the time. wireless on ear headphones is especially helpful if you are looking to listen to music while making hands-free phone calls.

2. Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless

The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless aren't the most distinctive of the crowd However, that doesn't mean they aren't a great pair of headphones. These headphones over-ear offer exceptional noise cancellation, and boast an impressive 60 hours of battery. That's easily double the duration of most competitors with the Sony WH-1000XM5 and Bowers & Wilkins Px8 Wireless offering 30 to 40 hours of runtime on charges. The MOMENTUM 4's impressive endurance is due in part to a range of power-saving features, including sleep and on-head detection.

In terms of audio quality in terms of sound quality, the Sennheisers are among the best Bluetooth headphones available, with a balanced combination of powerful bass and warm mids that don't overpower each the other. The high end is clear and not being blazing or bright and the headphone's outstanding clarity makes it able to handle action-movie soundtracks with plenty of blast. The Control app lets you adjust the sound profile and also add an EQ, which makes it easy to tailor the headphones to suit your personal preferences.

The MOMENTUM Wireless is a little less robust than the wired version, yet it is still solid and well-built. The comfortable earpads are also soft and supple, and they rest securely on the head. In fact I had no issue wearing them for an entire day at home or while on a plane. They aren't as good for exercise however, because they may fall off your ears when you move your head quickly.





The MOMENTUM 4 delivers excellent ANC performance, but isn't as effective as Sony WH-1000XM5. They eliminate low noise from plane and bus engines, but don't do a great job of eliminating chattering between passengers or other noises in the surrounding. They also have the benefit of supporting aptX audio which offers higher maximum bitrates than AAC and SBC used by the Sonys.

The earcups on the Sennheisers are able to rotate to lay flat, but they don't fold like some other models. The headphones are compact enough to fit inside their carrying case, which is hard and not in use, making them ideal for commutes and travel.

3. Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2

Bowers & Wilkins second-generation wireless headphones are some of the best noise-canceling headphones that you can buy. They are in close competition with top rivals like Bose's WH-1000XM5 from Sony and the QuietComfort 65, while offering top-quality build quality, amazing comfort, and audiophile performance. They don't have fancy features or touch-based control gestures, like the majority of high-end Bluetooth headphones. Instead, they are designed to provide an audio experience that is awe-inspiring and enjoyable.

The Px7 S2's ANC is extremely effective in making ambient noise less noticeable, with an excellent degree of isolation from low-frequency rumbles like bus and plane engines, mid-range noises like office chatter, and high-pitched whirl of laptop fans. They aren't as effectively against higher-frequency noise like conversations or traffic, but perform better than their predecessors. The Bowers & Wilkins app also lets you fine-tune your ANC to suit your hearing.

The headphones sport a classy look, with the headband and ear cup. The headphones weigh slightly more than other top over-ear noise-canceling headphones, but their sturdy build and thoughtful design makes them worth the investment. The headphones are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, whether you're at home, work or on a long flight.

When it comes to sound, the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2's 40mm dynamic drivers offer strong bass, crisp highs and spacious, detailed imaging. They offer a full and dynamic sound with an impressive amount of air between the elements of sound making them a great option for listening to music and podcasts. They have aptX Adaptive codec that means you can stream high-res audio with minimal latency.

The controls on the Px7 S2 are easy to use. They have an up/down volume button as well as a play/pause switch, as well as the earcup buttons. The buttons are tactile and textured which enhances the headphones' luxurious feeling. The headphones are stable on the ear and won't fall off your head. They fold into a small case, making transporting them simple.

4. V-Moda S-80

The V-Moda S-80 headphones are an exception to the rule that you only get the value you pay for. They are among the top-quality wireless headphones and feature an elegant, durable design. Unfortunately, they cost almost as much as the Sony WH-1000XM5 or Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 -- which is a significant amount of money for a pair of on-ear headphones.

The V-Moda S-80 is the first wireless headphone made by the company. They can be worn on your head, or tied around your neck to create a personal speaker (earcups facing upwards). They're tuned to enhance modern electronic music with a vibrant sound and are compatible with advanced audio codes, such as Qualcomm's HD aptX. They feature magnetic shields that can be interchanged and are customizable in colors so you can make your headphones unique in design to match your outfit.

The S-80 is a nice departure from the M-Series but they have some flaws that make them less than ideal for all. The 12.5 pounds of weight makes them feel heavy, particularly when worn on the ears. This causes pressure on the ear, which can cause headaches within an hour. The headband can also be uncomfortable and stiff when it is worn around your neck.

The S-80 has poor noise cancellation. Even at moderate volumes it is possible to hear background noise. It's not an issue, but the lack of ANC means that you'll likely want to limit the amount of time you listen to music to around 20 hours per month.

Finally, the S-80's lack of a 3.5mm port limits connectivity and could make them unsuitable for use in intense physical activities. The S-80 cannot be folded and does not include a case. This affects their mobility and stowability. However, the S-80's sturdy construction and high sound quality help to offset the limitations. They also come with a two-year warranty and an Immortal Life Program guarantee that provides a replacement pair for half of their retail price if they break, get scratched, or lose value.
