Chances are, you’ve used at least one pair of Bluetooth headphones so far and are familiar with the pairing process. Although the once arduous process has gotten easier and quicker over the years, there are times where the process can still feel a bit sluggish. In such cases, purchasing headphones that come with NFC connectivity can be a boon, since all you need to do to pair your headphone and smartphone is turn on Bluetooth and tap both devices together. It eliminates steps such as scanning for devices, picking the headset from the list of available devices, and maybe entering a passkey, at times. So, if you have an NFC-enabled device (which is pretty common these days), picking an NFC-enabled headset will allow you to pair your smartphone and headphone together in a much more seamless manner. Check out this list of some good NFC-enabled headphones.
Bose QuietComfort 35 II
The Bose QuietComfort 35 II come equipped with NFC which allows you to connect the headset to your smartphone by simply tapping the devices together. The headset also features excellent noise-cancelling abilities. Moreover, you can also use Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri with these headphones to perform handsfree calling and more. The headphone comes with a decent 20 hours of battery life, and a quick 15 minute charge will net you about 2.5 hours of playtime.
Sony WH-1000XM4
One of the best Active Noise Cancelling headphones in the market, the Sony WH-1000XM4 doesn’t just stop there. The headphones have a sizable 30 hours of total battery life, auto-pause and play feature, and even an Ambient Mode which lets you hear your surroundings clearly. There’s also NFC connectivity, so simply tapping this headset to an NFC-enabled smartphone will pair them together. The 40mm drivers with LCP diaphragms provide a warm sound profile, with an adequate thump in the lows and lots of detail packed into the mids.
Sony WF-1000XM3
The Sony WF-1000XM3 takes almost all of the features present of the 1000XM4 headphones and packs them into a fairly diminutive pair of truly wireless earphones. The Sony QN1e processor is responsible for the excellent Active Noise Cancellation abilities of the earphones and you also get a whopping 32 hours of total battery life. Again, simply tapping the charging case of these earphones to your NFC-enabled smartphone will pair them together. The earphones also have pretty decent and intuitive touch controls for media playback and calls.
Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3
Equipped with NFC, these headphones can be paired to your NFC-enabled smartphone by simply tapping both devices together. These headphones also come equipped with plenty of features such as Active Noise Cancellation, Auto on/off, smart pause, accompanying app with adjustable EQ, and more. The Momentum Wireless 3 also has a robust build with comfortable headband and ear cups which allow you to wear these cans for hours on end without feeling overbearing fatigue.
