Sony remains the one to beat when it comes to premium headphones and the WH-1000XM5 retain the crown after the excellent XM4s.
If you want noise cancelling earbuds then Sony has nailed the formula, as long as you can afford them and don’t mind them being a little bigger than some rivals
Opus represents a new direction for Razer, a company solely focused on gaming peripherals up until this point, and the company has done very well indeed.
The QuietComfort Earbuds can’t match Sony on price or battery life, but they are still brilliant wireless earbuds with top-notch ANC.
Considering the five-year wait for these headphones, a startling amount of things here are still the same.
NuraLoop manages to condense the custom tuning audio wizardry found in the company’s first product and deliver an in-ear alternative that’s hard to beat in terms of sound quality.
If you don’t have much to spend on noise cancelling earbuds then look no further than this pair from Anker. They’re already available for a lot less than the RRP.
They are expensive, but the AirPods Max are a great option for those wanting luxurious over-ear headphones – although you’ll probably want to look elsewhere if you have an Android phone.
Sennheiser HD 450BT offer a rich sound. The accompanying app allows you to equalize the bass and trebles so you can get the sound that’s just right
Noise cancelling shouldn’t be confused with noise isolation. The latter is simply the way of putting some headphones on – no matter the type – creates a physical barrier
noise cancelling headphones are doing something more than just physical. They are digitally playing sound into your ears – other than the music or audiobook you’re listening to – to negate the sound around you.
