Best Over-Ear Headphones
Over-ear headphones, unlike earbuds encapsulate your ears completely and allow for bigger drivers to produce greater bass and larger soundstages. Many come with Bluetooth technology and active noise cancellation.
The Master & Dynamic MMW65 has been upgraded with improved audio and multiple ANC modes and a huge battery life.
1. Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless
Sony has improved an already great pair of headphones by introducing the WH1000XM4 wireless. They are lighter, better built, and have a more balanced audio profile (though they are bass heavy). They also include an app for audio customization. Their active noise cancelling works better than it did before, removing more ambient sound, and they have a longer battery life than a lot of competitors.
These headphones are Bluetooth 5.0 compatible and Sony LDAC is also supported. The latter is able to transfer high-resolution music, though you'll need to use compatible devices and streaming services. The WH-1000XM4s is also able to connect two Bluetooth devices simultaneously and then automatically switch between them when required. This feature is accessible through the Sony Headphones Connect App and is very effective.
A subtle improvement over the XM3 is the sensibility of their touch panels. They respond faster to the touch of the panel, which makes them easier to control during calls or listen to media. Sony has added a feature to make voices more clear and precise during calls. This is a distinct and a nice addition.
While the WH-1000XM4s aren't perfect, they are some of the top wireless headphones we've tested. They are comfortable, well-made, and have batteries that last for more than 30 continuous hours. They can be used passively using a TRS cable. This is perfect to travel with or for storing power.
The WH-1000XM4s are a better choice over the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 Wireless over-ears. The Sonys are more comfy and their ANC can block out more ambient sound. The B&Ws come with a more flexible EQ and a companion app to tweak the audio quality. However, the B&Ws have a better-built design, and they're able to pair with two Bluetooth devices at once. They also support aptX HD and have an AI-driven engine that tries to upscale compressed music to high-resolution. This is called DSEE Extreme, and it enhances 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 latest version of a headset that has become a favorite among commuters and passengers across the world. The new model does not reinvent the wheel. It uses the same formula which has made its predecessor so successful with the addition of the USB-C technology and improved noise cancellation.
Like the QC 35 II before them, these over-ear Bose headphones feature a luxurious look and feel that exudes quality. The headband, constructed of plastic, offers a firm feel thanks to the hinges made of metal at pivot points. It also has the familiar ratcheting mechanism when you expand or retract your ear cups. The cups are cushioned, and have soft pads that are comfortable to wear over your ears without placing pressure on your head. When folded they weigh 238 grams. You can use them with a coat or sweater as the noise-canceling works even when they are not on your head.
Despite their reputation for comfort, the QC45s don't provide the best sound quality in this price range. The frequencies are flat and lack the details that headphones with higher prices might be able to bring out. The higher registers tend to be boosted which is great for most music, but could be a problem for delicate or intricate genres of music. The bass is good, but is lacking power.
The possibility of pauseing the playback when removing the headset is a feature that's missing. This is a feature Bose's competitors have offered for years. Another thing that was missing was the lack of an in-app EQ. Bose provides preset EQ settings within the app, but it would be nice to have manual control.
You can connect to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth 5.0 with multipoint support and more advanced codecs like aptX Adaptive. You can download the Bose Audio app to adjust your headset's sound and voice assistant settings.
The QC45s come with four microphones built into the headset to pick up your voice during calls. The headsets have a good call quality, however they don't allow you to silence the voice when playing back like other wireless headphone bluetooth headphones. Update as of February 2022, the firmware update to the QC45s provided manual EQ options in the audio app, which is a welcome improvement.
3. Focal Bathys Wireless
Focal is a French audio company known for bluetooth Head Phones high-performance headphones with long lasting comfort and a style that let listeners know they're listening to something truly special. The Bathys are their first wireless noise cancelling headphones. They are stunning in appearance and sound. They also come with a built-in high-performance USB DAC which means you can use them for wireless and wired listening.
Focal claims that the Bathys can play bluetooth head phones music for 30 hours. We actually got a little more out of them, with over 40 hours of playtime on average of just one charge. If you need to recharge, there's a light on the right ear cup that will change to red when the earphone needs to be charged.
For a pair of headphones at this price, they have many features. They can connect to multiple devices simultaneously and offer automatic pairing. (You will need to select your device source manually every time you listen.) They come with a built-in microphone that works with voice assistants such as Siri or Alexa. The headphones also have an intuitive interface that makes it easy to manage your music and make calls.
Bathys over-ear headphones do well in our noise cancellation test, reducing ambient sound by an average of 9 decibels. This isn't as impressive as the ANC in the Bose QuietComfort 45/QC45 Wireless but it's still fairly effective.
In our tests of the quality of sound from headphones in our tests of headphone sound quality, the Bathys performed well overall with an overall frequency response that is in line with the SoundGuys headphone preference curve, with just slight differences in the mids and bass. The Bathys are bassy sound profile that can make vocals, instruments and cymbals look a bit veiled.
They also have very good leakage resistance, which means you can wear them out in public without worrying about other people listening to your music. Their mic has passable quality of recording via Bluetooth with only a slight distortion in the mid to treble range.
4. Sennheiser Momentum 4
The Sennheiser Momentum Wireless are a new version of the company's flagship Bluetooth headphones. The Momentum 3 was a solid but not a great entry in this class. The new model improves on the previous generation with modern design, better gesture controls, and a huge battery life.
A lot of the improvements here are subtle, but they add up to make a pair of over-ears that seem like a step up from the previous model. The Momentum 4s lay flat and don't fold, but they do come with a nice hardshell case to protect them on the go. They also follow the trend of several other recent bluetooth headphone wireless headphones, like the ones from Sony and Bowers & Wilkins, to be beautifully device agnostic. 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 AirPods.
The most obvious change in this model is the huge battery, which claims up to 60 hours of playback time with the noise cancellation feature turned on. This is more than the majority of the competitors offer and is enough for a trip of a lifetime without worrying about finding an outlet to charge them.
Billy Steele, senior editor at Engadget The headphones were rated by Billy Steele, senior editor at Engadget an 82 percent score. He noted their sound quality and ANC features as strengths. The only thing he dislikes is that they lack a sense gravitas in the mids as well as treble, meaning that orchestral pieces tend to sound flat rather than grand. The bass is well-rounded but it can sound too loud, which can cause to fatigue when songs have heavy bass lines, like the drum hits in As I Lay Dying’s Forever. The cymbals sound smoky rather than full and there's not a real feeling of depth in the bass.
The Momentum 4s should not cause pressure on your neck or ears. They can be a bit fidgety when you wear them at home or during long listening sessions. They can move on your head, and make rapid head movements. This could cause them to unexpectedly wake up and can cause distraction when you are listening to music or calls. They stop automatically after 15 minutes, and can be switched off manually by pressing the power button.
