Best Over-Ear Headphones

Over-ear headphones, unlike earbuds, encapsulate the ears completely. They also have bigger drivers that provide deeper bass and a bigger soundstage. Many of them also feature active noise cancellation and Bluetooth technology.

The Master & Dynamic MMW65 has been updated with better audio and features, including various ANC modes, and a long battery life.

1. Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless

Sony has made improvements to an already-great pair of headphones with the WH-1000XM4 Wireless. They're lighter, feel more built, have more balanced sound profiles (though still bass heavy) and come with an app that lets you do some audio customization. Their active noise cancellation works better than it did before, eliminating the background noise, and they have a longer battery life than other models.

These headphones are Bluetooth 5.0 compatible, and Sony LDAC is also compatible with. The latter is able to transfer high-resolution music, but you'll need to use compatible devices and streaming services. Additionally, the WH-1000XM4s can connect to two Bluetooth devices at the same time and switch between them as needed. This feature can be enabled through the Sony Headphones Connect app and it works very well.

A subtle improvement over the XM3 is the sensitivity of their touch panels. They respond more quickly to the tap of the panel, and this makes them easier to control during a phone call or to listen to music. Sony has also added a feature that can make voices sound more precise and clear during calls. This is a noticeable and a nice addition.

The WH-1000XM4s aren't perfect, but they're among the top wireless headphones that we have ever tested. They're comfortable, well made, and have an outstanding battery that can last longer than 30 hours continuously. They can be used passively with an TRS cable. This is perfect to travel with or for storing power.

The WH1000XM4s offer a better alternative to the Bowers & Wilkins Wireless Over-Ears PX7 S2. The Sonys are more comfortable and their ANC can block out more ambient noise. The B&Ws feature an EQ that is more flexible, as well as an app companion to adjust the audio performance. However, the B&Ws have more robust design and they're able to pair with two Bluetooth devices at once. Additionally, they support aptX HD and have a unique AI-driven engine that attempts to boost compressed music to high-resolution. This is called DSEE Extreme and it does well in improving the clarity of music, particularly when listening to lossless files.

2. Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless

The $329 Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-canceling headphones are the most recent version of a headphone that became a staple for commuters and travelers from all over the world. The new model does not reinvent the wheel. It retains the same formula that made its predecessor so successful, while adding the USB-C technology and improved noise cancellation.

Similar to the QC 35 II before them, these over-ear Bose headphones have an elegant design and feel that oozes quality. The headband is constructed of plastic, and is a solid feel, with hinges made of metal at the pivot points, and the familiar ratcheting action that you experience when you retract or extend the ear cups. The cups are cushioned, and have soft pads that are comfortable to wear over your ears without putting pressure on your head. They weigh 238 grams and are compact when folded. They can be paired with a sweater or coat since they can be worn even when they are not on the head.

Despite their reputation for comfort, the QC45s don't offer the most impressive sound quality for this price range. The frequencies are comparatively flat and lack details that higher-end headphones may be able to bring out. The upper registers are amplified which is great for most music genres but could be a problem for more delicate and wireless headphones intricate genres. The bass is good, but lacks punch.

One thing that's not included is the ability to pause playback when you take the headset off. This is a standard feature in this price range and is something that Bose's rivals have long offered. Another oversight is the absence of an in-app EQ. Bose offers preset EQ settings within the app, but it would be nice to have manual control.

You can connect to your tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth 5.0 with multipoint support as well as more advanced codecs like aptX Adaptive. You can download the Bose Audio app to adjust your headset's audio and voice assistant settings.

The QC45s also come with four built-in microphones that hear your voice when you make calls. The call quality is generally excellent, but the headsets don't come with the handy capability to muffle your voice while playing back which is a feature that other wireless headphones have. Update as of February 2022, the firmware update to the QC45s offered manual EQ options in the audio app which is a welcome improvement.

3. Focal Bathys Wireless

Focal is a French audio brand that produces high-performance headphones. They are well-known for their style and comfort which tell listeners that they're hearing something unique. The Bathys are their first wireless noise cancelling headphones. They are stunning in appearance and sound. They have a high-performance USB DAC built in, which means you can use them both for wireless and wired listening.

Focal claims that the Bathys can play Bluetooth music for 30 hours. We were able to get more than 40 hours of playback on average from a single 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.

For a pair of headphones for this price, they come with lots of features. They support multiple devices at once and feature automatic pairing. (You have to select the device you want to pair with each time you listen.) The headphones have a built in microphone that works with voice assistants such as Siri or Alexa. They also come with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to manage your music and make calls.

For over-ear wireless headphones The Bathys perform very well in our test of noise cancellation. They cut down the background sound by around 9 decibels in average. It's not as effective as the ANC found in the Sony WH1000XM4 and Bose QuietComfort45/QC45 wireless and bluetooth headphones but it's still very effective.

In our tests of the quality of sound from headphones, the Bathys performed well overall with an overall frequency response that corresponds to the SoundGuys preference curve, with only slight differences in the bass and mids. They have a bass-rich sound pattern that adds plenty of boom to mixes, however, they can make instruments and vocals like cymbals seem a bit veiled.

You can wear them anywhere and not worry about whether others listen to your music. The microphone is able to be used for recording using Bluetooth with just a little distortion between the mid-treble and the treble.

4. Sennheiser Momentum 4

The Sennheiser Momentum Wireless is a new update of the company's top Bluetooth headsets. The Momentum 3 was a solid but not an outstanding entry in this category. The latest pair is an improvement on 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 lie flat and don't fold however they do come with a sturdy hardshell case to keep them safe on the go. They also follow the trend of several other recent Bluetooth headphones, like the ones from Sony and Bowers & Wilkins, to be completely device-independent. This means they work with both Android phones and Apple iPhones, but do not come with the extra features (like Find My support and head-tracked Spatial Audio) that you'll find on the AirPods.

The most notable improvement is the battery that can run for up to 60 hours with noise cancellation on. This is more than twice the amount of the competitors and sufficient to go on a long-distance trip without worrying about finding an outlet.

Billy Steele, senior editor at Engadget The headphones were rated by Billy Steele, senior editor at Engadget an 82 percent score. He highlighted their audio quality and ANC features as their strengths. The only issue he has is that they lack a sense gravitas in the mids as well as the treble, which means that orchestral music tends to sound flat rather than grand. The bass is well-rounded, but can be overemphasized, which can cause to fatigue in songs with heavy bass lines, like the drum beats of As I Lay Dying’s Forever. The cymbals sound sizzled, not full. There's no real depth to the lows.

The Momentum 4s are a comfortable fit and shouldn't put too much pressure on your neck or ears. However they can be uncomfortable when worn in the house or Wireless headphones during longer listening sessions. They will move about on your head with intense head movements. This can cause them to suddenly wake up which can be distracting when you are listening to music or calls. They shut down automatically after 15 minutes and can be shut off manually using the power button.
