Best Over the Ear Headphones

Wireless headphones allow you to listen to music or podcasts anywhere without having to run an audio wire to your device. They're ideal for public transportation, at work, or at home.

Wireless headphones with over-ears can feature a premium design and exceptional noise cancellation. They are usually packed in a stylish case.

Soundcore Life Q30

A major improvement over the Soundcore Life 2 from late-2018, these over-ears appear better, feel stronger, and are generally more polished. They're still mostly plastic, but the hinges are a bit more secure and the soft leather ear cups are larger. You can also swap out the 3.5mm cable for a premium USB-C model to connect them to stationary Hi-Fi systems and mobile Hi-Res players. They also have dual built-in microphones, which are great in our tests for FaceTime, Skype, and Microsoft Teams calls.

The Soundcore app offers a vast variety of EQ presets that can be customized and saved to allow you to listen to music and podcasts in your preferred style. This is the thing that sets these headphones apart from most other ANC headphones, and the Soundcore app is extremely simple to use.

The Q30's 40mm speakers effectively eliminate the majority of ambient noise when ANC is enabled. This creates an extremely pleasant listening experience. The Q30's sound is natural, but a little on treble. Some might not be a fan of the bass response (we got better results using the Bass Booster equalizer). It is possible to fix this by using the Soundcore App, which includes an eight-band Equalizer.

The left earcup features a power button and a pairing button and USB-C charging port. The right earcup has play/pause, blue tooth Headphones volume up/down buttons. Double-clicking these controls lets you skip tracks or replay the previous one. You can also make use of voice commands to ask them to switch modes or set alarms. The right ear cup can be covered by your hand to activate ambient mode so you can hear what is going on around you without removing the headphones.

These headphones have a great battery life. The Q30 was able to last for a full hour in our tests when ANC was on than its rivals. This gives you plenty of time to prepare for an extended flight or a day at the office. They can be quickly recharged using the USB-C cable included and [empty] you'll be able to see an alert when they're getting empty.

Focal Bathys Wireless

Focal's Bathys Wireless are a set of high-quality headphones for over-ear use that offer both active noise cancellation and Bluetooth playback. They're designed as a pair of premium high-end headphones that are ideal for listening to music and podcasts on the go, but sound fantastic when used to listen to audiophile music at home as well. The headphones are a little more expensive than other headphones, but their outstanding sound is the reason they stand out.

The Focal Bathys are packed in a small elegant white box with a cloth finish. It contains all the accessories that you'll need. The headphone carry case folds flat, and comes with a case, USB-C to USB cable, local 1.2mm SE cable and an audio adapter.

They're powered by a good 600mAh battery that can take you through a whole day of listening, and have an audio input for wired use. When connected wirelessly, they're paired via Bluetooth and you'll be able control their functions using an app (now known as Focal and Naim which is probably in the same vein as their English Naim brand's products that are network-aware) or via the button on the left earcup which scrolls between ANC profiles like'silent','soft' transparent' and 'full'.

Utilizing the app, you are able to alter various settings such as the brightness of the LED as well as EQ presets that include a "music profile' that sounds brighter and more neutral than other presets and their battery duration. You can also choose the ANC mode and level as well as set an 'acoustic environments' to adjust the sensitivity to simulate the sound of headphones in a different room.

The Focal Bathys feature an incredibly bass-rich profile that gives more warmth and punch to your favorite tracks. The result is that instruments and vocals can be muted, while other details like cymbals might be less prominent than other headphones. The headphones are also less effective in active noise cancellation compared to other headphones that feature higher-end technology, such as the Sony WH1000XM5 or Apple AirPods Max.

Sony WH-1000XM5

Sony headphones are known for their quality, and the WH1000XM5 headphones are no exception. It's located at the top end of the'mainstream' over-ear headphone market, edging into the luxury lifestyle category where brands like Bang & Olufsen, Apple and Montblanc are a common sight. The XM5s are expensive however, if you are able to, there aren't many better wireless headphones.

The XM5s have a lot of features that make life easier for the listener and automate some tasks that they would be required to do manually. Sony's DSEE Extreme Engine (which upscales music to near-high-resolution) as well as Bluetooth's LDAC Technology, are included. This allows high-quality audio to be streamed at bitrates which are higher than Bluetooth. There's a built-in mic for making calls hands-free.

Like the previous generation of WH headphones the XM5s excel at noise cancellation. They are among the best at cutting down on the constant drones that can be heard in train and underground carriages. The XM5s also excel at separating listeners from the hum of busy airports and streets.

The sound quality is also top-quality. The XM5s don't have as many details in the low-frequency range as the XM4, but they do have more clarity and a greater sense of openness. The bass on Rage Against The Machine's Bullet in the Head shows off the Sonys' power and definition but without affecting the rest the music. The XM5s are also able to provide precise and accurate bass notes on Massive Attack's Angel.

The battery life is also excellent, offering up to 30 hours of audio with ANC active and 40 hours when it's off. This is more than enough to cover a weekend getaway or several days of heavy use.

The XM5s aren't dust or water resistant. In fact, Sony recommends that you avoid sweating on them or wear them out in the rain. This might not be a big deal for the majority of people, but for those who spend much time in the gym or live in a rainy location, it could be a significant issue.

Apple AirPods Max

The Apple AirPods Max are a pair of wireless headphones over-ear equipped with Bluetooth technology and noise cancelling. They have 40mm dynamic drivers designed by Apple with an audio profile that is neutral and is focused on the mids and highs while not going too loud on either ends of the spectrum. This makes them ideal for both music and movies. They also provide better sound quality than many competing pairs of headphones.

The headphones have a light construction that is comfortable on the head. The ear cups are constructed from memory foam covered in weaved fabric. They sit comfortably on the ears without placing pressure on the sides of the face. The ear cups also tilt and rotate to accommodate different head shapes. The hinges that are spring loaded have a strong but not too strong clamping force, which makes sure that the ear cups stay in place during listening sessions.

Switch on noise cancellation by pressing a small button on the top of the right earcup. There's also a button that can be pushed, like a jog-dial, similar to the digital crown on the Apple Watch, that you can twist for volume control and press it once twice or three times for playback controls. Pressing and holding the button invokes Siri. The buttons are easy to use and well-placed, but I would have liked to have the power button that could shut off the headphones when not in use. The headphones automatically go into standby mode after being removed from your ears or placed in their case, and they only come back on when you put them on your head once more.

Spatial audio is another great feature. It makes use of accelerometers, gyroscopes, and iPhones and iPads to determine where you're moving. Then, it repositions the sound so that they seem to be coming from the location you are in. This creates an immersive theater experience for movies and videos recorded in 5.1, 7.1 or Dolby Atmos. Only iOS devices are able to listen to spatial audio.

The AirPods Max are a decent pair of headphones, but I'd feel somewhat smug walking into an Apple Store and spending $549 on the headphones if I knew that they'd be beaten in a year by the new model. The AirPods Pro have more advanced features and better battery performance, making it difficult to justify the cost for most people.
