Wireless headphones have come a long way since their inception, and today the best options in this category can measure up to their wired counterparts. In some cases, they can even surpass their wired competition. With ever-improving Bluetooth codecs, more efficient batteries and better sounding audio – it's the best time to be a music lover who also wants to ditch wires. Additionally, wireless innovation has only continued upward, with features like high-quality noise cancellation and spatial audio now easily available for those willing to invest in them. To pick the right wireless headphone, you need to look for a great mix of such features and reliable specifications. Here are some models available on Amazon which meet these criteria.
Sony WH-1000XM4
The Sony WH-1000XM4 features industry-leading noise cancellation technology that can help you shut out the world around you when needed. This is enabled by Dual Noise Sensor technology, featuring two microphones on each earcup that capture ambient noise and pass the data to the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1. Its Speak To Chat technology automatically pauses the music when you talk, enabling easy conversations. With Alexa inbuilt, you can access music, information and more with just your voice. Its DSEE Extreme technology is co-developed with Sony Music Studios in Tokyo to upscale compressed digital music files to high-quality audio.
Bowers & Wilkins PX5
The PX5 from Bowers & Wilkins is designed for a lightweight and comfortable audio experience. It features custom-tuned 35mm drivers for enhanced sound delivery. Its Adaptive Noise Cancelling technology can sense the sound around you to shut out any disturbance to your music. A full charge of its battery can last you more than a day. Even when you run out, a quick 15-minute charge enables five hours of use. Lifting one earcup stops the music immediately so that you can pay attention to the environment and return to your tracks by just putting it back on. Its light, stiff and durable build aims for maximum portability.
Beats Solo PRO
The Active Noise Cancellation technology on the Beats Solo Pro shuts out external sound so that you can focus on your music. If you want to let in some ambient sound, you can enable Transparency which filters in relevant noise from your surroundings. The headphone delivers up to 22 hours of battery life, and when you turn both ANC and Transparency off, you get an extended battery life of up to 40 hours. A quick 10-minute charge gets it going for up to three hours of listening. The foldable design of the headphone makes it easy to store when not in use.
Jabra Elite 45h
With 40mm drivers, the Jabra Elite 45h aims for an impactful and loud sound. When a single charge gives you fifty hours of battery life, even heavy users can get a week’s worth of performance out of the 45h. When that runs out, it brings you ten hours of use with just 15 minutes of charging. Its dual microphones ensure that your voice is heard clearly at all times. Since this headphone works with leading voice assistants, you can use hands-free commands to make calls, get directions and much more. The MySound technology allows you to customise the audio to your hearing, resulting in a perfect listening experience.
