During our work hours, what we listen to has been proven to have an effect on our productivity. Whether it is a playlist of your favourite tunes, some white noise, or a dedicated work playlist curated specifically to amplify your efficiency – there’s something that works for everyone. To experience this music to the most, a wireless headphone is a great choice. Not only does it help avoid disturbing anyone around you, but it also avoids keeping you tied down to your PC for hours. To pick one, you need to consider several features like battery life, ease of use, connectivity and more. We’ve considered all of those features and other specifications to pick the following wireless headphones available on Amazon.
The JBL Live 650BTNC’s audio performance is powered by 40mm drivers that promise a great sound signature. It also comes with support for popular voice assistants with the help of the My JBL app and onboard microphone. With the same microphone, it promises great calling performance, allowing you to accept calls with the buttons on the earcup. There’s active noise cancelling (ANC) available too, which helps you focus on your work without external distractions. With the ANC turned on, the 650BTNC can deliver a battery life of up to 20 hours, and without that, it can go up to 30 hours. It also supports quick charging, which can deliver two hours of listening time with a 15-minute charging session. Even after that if you run out of juice, there’s also the ability to use it in wired mode.
To assure great connectivity as well as audio performance, the Sennheiser HD 350BT comes with Bluetooth 5.0 and support for codecs such as AAC, aptX, and aptX Low Latency. It promises a 30-hour battery life and comes with fast-charging support via USB-C charging. You can use the Sennheiser Smart Control App on the connected smartphone to customise the audio experience to your preferences using the equaliser, which also includes a specialised podcast mode to enhance speech. There’s also a dedicated voice assistant button to keep your favourite smart assistant close. At 238g, it is quite light and should be easy to use even when you’re commuting.
The AKG N60NC promises great isolation with its active noise cancellation technology combined with the materials used like memory foam and protein leather. Support for aptX and AAC audio codecs aims for delivering the best audio quality possible with wireless audio. It also promises the AKG sound signature which is smooth and balanced. The headphone also comes with active noise cancellation which can be used in both wired and wireless modes. In wireless mode, the N60NC promises a battery life of 15 hours with ANC on, which can go up to 30 hours with just ANC enabled. To support the wired mode, the headphone comes with a fabric cable with a remote+mic unit, along with additional accessories like an airline adapter and a carry case.
Promising a 35-hour battery life in wireless mode, the Sony WH-CH710N can be a good choice for heavy users. Additionally, a quick charge of 10 minutes can add another hour of performance. There’s also the Automatic Artificial Intelligence Noise Cancelling (AINC) technology, which aims to optimise the noise-cancelling performance by analysing the environmental sounds. This is powered by the Dual Noise Sensor Technology, which uses dual microphones to optimise the AINC performance. In addition to that, there’s also an Ambient Sound mode that makes your headsets more permeable to allow some external sounds in when you need to listen in.
