Sony Headphones Review - The Best Noise Cancelling Headphones

The fifth-generation Sony noise cancelling headphones are a bit different from the previous model but sound just as great. They're comfortable, lightweight and boast a range of features including Quick Attention mode, Speak-to-Chat wear detection, and AI-powered DSEE Extreme audio upscaling.

The ANC is powerful, reducing train noise to a background rumble. The option to pass through lets you hear outside sounds if needed.

1. Sony WH-1000XM5

Sony headphones are among the top models when it comes noise cancellation. The fifth generation of WH-1000XM5s are not an exception, providing one of the best experiences we've had with noise cancellation headphones in recent years. The moment you put them on and enabling noise cancellation is like stepping into a vast cone of silence: engine sounds as well as the whir of HVAC systems, the rumbling metal, even conversations with your neighbors are all muted to an uncanny degree.

The XM5s also shine on the audio aspect. Their large soundstage lets every element of a song to breathe and shine. On Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy for example, the drums pound with a pleasing amount of power and weight while the soaring vocals blend throughout the mix.

The XM5s stand out because of their smart interaction with your smartphone. They can sense the moment they are removed from the head and stop the music. They can also note that you are on a busy highway and automatically reduce the noise cancellation level.

The WH-1000XM5s are also very green. The WH-1000XM5s are made from recycled plastics and butadiene, acrylonitrile and styrene. The headband is made from premium fabric. And they come with a collapsible carrying case that folds to form a small bag, as well as an 3.5mm-to-3.5mm audio cable that can be used in a passive mode. The ear cups can be removed for simple cleaning. Additionally, the XM5s run on rechargeable batteries that provide up to 20 hours of playtime on full charge. Additionally, they're equipped with an adaptive fast charging system that charges twice the speed of standard USB headphones.

2. Bose QuietComfort 35

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless with their comfortable fit and balanced sound profile and ANC technology that blocks a great deal of background noise They are more adaptable than the Audio-Technica ATHDR9BT Wireless Headphones. The Bose headphones come with 20 hours of battery life, and are easier to charge and can be used with a phone when the battery is out. This makes them a better option for those looking for headphones that can be used as commuter headphones or as travel headphones.

These premium Bose headphone have a dedicated Google Assistant button, which activates the assistant to play music, respond to questions, and read notifications from your smartphone. These headphones have excellent noise cancellation capabilities. They're a bit outdated by the standards of 2020, but you can still get great deals.

The QC35s, along with other Bose ANC headsets, earphones do excellent job of blocking out ambient noise. Their noise reduction technology has also improved over time. They're not the top ANC headphone on the market particularly when compared to newer competitors. Audiophiles will want to consider other options for better sound.

Similar to the Sonys, the QC35s can connect to two devices at once and "audio share" one of them with a person who is a friend. This is useful if you're looking to listen to music with one ear while conversing with someone else. They are also popular with frequent flyers and have that classic Bose design that people adore. If you're looking to dress up your QC35s by adding some personalization, decal covers like SlickWraps and Skin Sticker are available at a reasonable price.

3. Sony WH-1000XM4

The WH-1000XM4s made by Sony don't change much in terms of design or comfort however, their noise cancellation technology is a completely new device. Sony has replaced the older system-on-chip (SoC) with a new one that, according to the company, will allow it to listen and respond more precisely the ambient sound in real time, reducing high and mid-frequency noises using its Dual Noise Sensor technology.

Two feedforward microphones in each earcup capture ambient sound. The sound is processed by the QN1 noise cancelling processor to cut it down quickly without affecting the quality of your audio. The result is an impressive level of noise neutralization that easily beats out the best headphones in this price range.

There's a sensitivity knob that allows you to alter the noise cancellation to meet your needs. You may, for earphones instance prefer to listen to the sounds of the city when you're at home, but you might prefer a more closed off listening experience. This feature also makes use of geo-location access to apply the right setting based on where you're headed.

The WH1000XM4s can be used for making calls using hands-free technology. They also have a 30 hour battery life and rapid charging capabilities. The WH-1000XM4s also have an extremely robust Bluetooth connection that supports multipoint and NFC support. In my tests I noticed that an instant remastering of Paul McCartney’s Flaming pie sounded lively and clear as well as rough mixes and recordings from home also sound clear.

To get the most out of these headphones, you'll need to download the companion Sony Headphones Connect app. This lets you customize the EQ settings and offers convenience features like Bluetooth multipoint, as well as allowing you to access some of the cooler new stuff - such as access to Sony's 360 Reality Audio immersive surround-sound mastering process that breathes new life into older music.

4. Sony WH-CH720N

If you're seeking a pair of headphones that can provide top-quality active noise cancellation at an affordable price the Sony WH-CH720N headphones are a great choice. The 710N Wireless is an improvement over its predecessor and offers improved ANC performance, and superior sound quality. The 710N Wireless also features a slimmer design with battery lifespan of up to 35 hours.

If you're looking for top-of-the-line features such as LDAC Bluetooth support and Smart Listening with voice assistant integration These headphones aren't the best choice suitable for you. They don't have a carrying case, auto-pause feature, or earcups that fold which makes them difficult to take on a trip with.

The build quality of the WH-CH720N is decent however, it's not as great as a 1000XM5. The earcups and headband are made of plastic, which is lightweight and comfortable to wear for long periods but will not stand up to the rigors of use or even a few tumbles on hard surfaces. The design is also quite bulky and the earcups tend to creak when you move your head. The controls are easy to use, however they feature tactile buttons that offer an excellent click-based feedback. The ANC can be switched on and off by pressing the power switch. Pressing and holding the button activates Sony's Adaptive audio Control. This feature allows you to select the preset audio profile according to the type of headphones you're using the headphones (e.g., "Staying at Work" or "Running") or the current location (with your phone's permission to determine this).

The WH-CH720N is one of the most cost-effective headphones for wireless noise cancelling headphones on the market. It offers excellent ANC for the price, lightweight comfort, and up to 35-hour battery life. If you're a frequent commuter, these headphones are worth considering.

5. Earfun Air Pro

Earfun's headsets and earbuds are renowned for their value, and the Air Pro is no exception. They're great for calls and music and their ANC technology blocks out a large amount of noise cancelling over ear headphones, without making your ears feel uncomfortable. They also come with numerous features that you can find in headphones that cost up to twice as more.

The earbuds have a lot of emphasis in the bass range, which creates a rumble in most tracks. The lead vocals and instruments remain clear and bright. This makes them ideal for a wide range of content. However, earphones they could seem a bit loud to some. Their frequency response is also very consistent, ensuring they sound exactly the same no matter what you listen to.

We played Missy Elliott's Get Ur Freak On and the earbuds took to the track's booming intro with enthusiasm and enthusiasm. Stormzy's Vossi Bop was a similarly agile listen with the treble playing off the layered vocals as well as the percussion.

On the phone, voice quality is very good even in noisy environments. The earbuds feature the most recent Qualcomm chip which ensures background noises, clicks and other distractions are kept to the bare minimum. This is true even when talking next to London Underground during rush hour.

The Bluetooth connectivity of the earbuds are also excellent, with very few issues in our testing. They connect quickly and have minimal latency to iOS and Android devices. They're also IPX5 water-resistant, so they're fine for rain and exercise - though you shouldn't put them in water. They also come with a movable case that can hold two and a half charge that are great for travel.
