The Best Wireless Over Ear Headset

Over-ear headphones can block out outside noise. Choose headphones with active noise cancellation and a battery life of at least 20 hours.

The Sennheiser Momentum 4s come with an excellent ANC feature, a simple control for the ear, and an app that is easy to use. Its default sound delivers a punchy thump, but vocals and instruments can be put in the background.

1. Sony WH-1000XM5

Sony's WH1000XM5 are a fantastic pair of headphones for those who want to enjoy the most wireless over-ear headset. The headphones are lightweight, have a soft carrying bag and fold flat to fit into your bag. The touch controls are intuitive and easy to use and the battery can last for audiophile 30 hours with no ANC. The headphones come with an automatic pause feature which shuts them off when you take them from your head. This helps to conserve battery.

The WH-1000XM5 are compatible with Sony's Headphones Connect app which offers an extensive array of features that can be used to personalize your audio experience. The app can be used to monitor your location and adapt the sound quality of your environment. The microphone can also be built in for hands-free calling. The Sony WH1000XM5 plays music wirelessly through Bluetooth or wired via the cable provided. They support aptX codecs, aptX HD codecs and aptX adaptive codecs that provide high-quality audio over Bluetooth.

Similar to the XM4 The WH-1000XM5 is lightweight and comfortable, with a comfortable headbands and ear cups. These headphones are comfortable to wear and can be worn for long periods. They're also great for longer flights and commutes. They offer excellent noise cancellation performance that block out the majority of background noise while maintaining clarity and detail. The Sony WH1000XM5 headphones feature an excellent amount of bass, particularly for closed-back models. They also provide excellent soundstages and clear separation between vocals and instruments.

They have a low latency when watching videos, which is a plus. The lag is so minimal that it's virtually undetectable and they can be used for casual gaming. They're not the best option for video games that compete and are a good choice for people who intend to use them for media consumption or for making hands-free phone calls.

Sony is adamant about including smart features into its products and the WH-1000XM5 are no exception. The active noise cancellation is one of the most effective I've tried and they offer many clever features that will enhance your listening experience. They also come with Sony's DSEE Extreme engine which upscales compressed music to close to high quality. They're compatible with Sony's LDAC technology, which streams music with higher quality via Bluetooth.

2. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2

Since the introduction of the first generation PX7 in 2015, Bowers & Wilkins' flagship headphones have often been featured on top lists of wireless headsets and putting them in the same bracket as the likes Sony WH-1000XM5 as well as Bose QuietComfort. The latest model, the PX7 S2, is an upgrade that takes the original headphones to a new level, with improved ANC performance as well as a fresh design.

The bio-cellulose drivers of 40mm in the earcups are angled so they are aimed directly at your eardrums. This delivers an audio experience that is more intimate than other headphones with a closed back. This is a bold claim however the PX7 S2 is able to deliver on. Vocals cut through clearly, and bass is deep and rumbly when it's needed to be.

The PX7 S2 is also very good at voice calls. It has a crisp clean, clear sound that will not overpower your voice. They also provide a fast charge that can get you back fully charged in only two hours. Furthermore, they're compatible with hi-res audio due to an adaptive Bluetooth codec that enables the playback of 24-bit music.

The noise-canceling technology and the improved audio performance are the most important improvements for the majority of listeners. In our tests we were able to eliminate a majority of the simulations of aircraft noises using the PX7 S2. They also performed exceptionally well in Mozart's Et In Carnatus Est and Sanctus which offer an excellent understanding of the changing dynamics between the solo vocal, the wind trio and orchestral accompaniment.

The PX7 S2s aren't just noise-cancelling, they also include a variety of features that make them comparable to other top-rated headphones. They're fully wireless, with Bluetooth multipoint support, so you can pair them with two devices at the same time and also come with a built-in microphone that allows hands-free calls with your phone's assistant. The build quality is durable and high-end and will last you for many years.

Of course, they're not the perfect models. The clamp force we used on our test models was a little tighter than we'd prefer, and there aren't as many additional features in the app as other options, but they aren't major complaints. The PX7 S2s is a superb wireless headset that beats out other headsets in its class. It's hard to imagine any other competitor to match them.

3. Focal Bathys Wireless

For audiophiles who value high-quality sound and are looking for an exceptional wireless noise-canceling headset The Focal Bathys are tough to beat. The Focal Bathys are the very first ANC headphones made by a French audio company to use Bluetooth. They offer stunning sound both in Bluetooth mode and when connected via USB to a device that supports true hi-fi listeners at up to 24bit/192kHz.

The Bathys look gorgeous, with their glossy black finish and swooping curves that are like Focal's premium open back Elear and closed-back Celestee headphones. They also come with premium materials such as magnesium and aluminum for solid construction that feels solid, comfortable and worth the price.

In Bluetooth mode when Bluetooth is enabled, the Bathys deliver a crisp and lively sound quality that easily outperforms similarly priced consumer ANC options like the Sony XM5/5 or Bose QC45. Direct DAC audio mode allows them to be pushed further and makes them an excellent option for true hifi listeners.

The Focal &Naim app allows users to alter the headphone's playback controls and Bluetooth pairing preferences. You can select between silent or soft intensities for ANC and set the brightness of the LEDs that are on the ear cups, and adjust the EQ settings. The app is basic but it has enough features to be worth the cost.

The most notable flaw is that the active noise cancellation does not live up to the competition. The headphone isn't able to block out all of the ambient noise as the most rated XM5 or AirPods Max, and its treble accuracy is subpar, with a muddy mid - to high range that detracts from the sound of instruments and vocals.

The Focal Bathys aren't the most portable headphones. They're not suitable for travel because their earcups don't fold and they are heavier than other headphones. The Bathys should be used at home for long listening sessions, or as a reference headset for sound engineering. The Bathys are comfortable to wear over long periods of time, despite their size and weight.

4. Sony WH-CH720N

The Sony WHCH720N is fantastic pair of wireless over-ear headsets at a reasonable price. The noise-cancelling technology is excellent and can do a lot to cut down ambient noise. They are ideal for commuters and travelers. Their matte finish and durable construction add a touch of luxury.

They are similar in design to Sony's newer 1000X and XB910N bt headphones wireless. They feature a slim plastic headband with the usual hinges for the earcups. They're lightweight and comfortable to wear, audiophile however they feel a bit too compressed for my liking. In the box, they include a USB-C port for charging as well as an 3.5mm jack, and a decent-length cable. They are multipoint Bluetooth which means you can connect to two devices simultaneously when you want to.

In my tests, the CH720N's hybrid noise cancelling technology did an excellent job of curbing background noise, with just a couple of notable blips while walking through Waterloo station and London Victoria. These weren't magical sound-silencers which destroyed every sound in the vicinity, however, and they struggled with low-frequency noises such as the rumbling engine noises of trains and buses.

The CH720N's Bluetooth connection was a breeze and displayed a minimal harmonic distortion. I tested a range of genres and found they could handle the intricate interplay among instruments well. It did an excellent job of taming bass in rock tracks, and focusing the mix.

I love the possibility of adjusting the Sony Headphones Connect app to customize the CH720N's ANC and multipoint connectivity settings to suit your preferences and add a range of audio presets. You can also activate DSEE through the app, which enhances audio quality and speeds up the removal of compressed audio content.

The WH-CH720N offers a great value for PS130. It lacks some of Sony's best features (such as Speak-to-Chat and Quick Attention) however, it does come with many amazing features. It comes with 360 Reality Audio and a range of smart controls, as well as the aforementioned DSEE upscaling feature. The only thing missing is LDAC Bluetooth high-res audio support which I believe would have been a welcome inclusion.
