Most modern phones tend not to have a 3,5mm jack, which in turn increases the demand for wireless headsets. As their market grows, the inevitable question arises: which ones to get?
There are many factors that buyers should consider before making their choice. For starters, do you prefer in-ear or over-the-ear headphones? Then, if you need something for long trips, then the best choice is the over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation. If you like sports, prefer a group. After deciding on the type and purpose, you need to find the right set for your budget. As we know, the higher price is not a reliable indicator of better quality. Luckily, we're here to help you with our pick of this year's best wireless headsets, ranging from high-end to affordable models.
Sony WH-1000XM3
Sony WH-1000XM3 are, quite simply, the headphones with the best noise canceling technology. They are so good that they can block not only the engines of the aircraft, but also annoying passengers. The new analog amplifier has significantly improved the sound quality, providing a clearer, firmer and above all more pleasant sound. There are other cool features as well, like Quick Listen, which mutes your sound and lets you listen to the outside world through your headphones. Ambient Sound does the same, but lets you keep listening to your music. The battery life is 30 hours, which increases to 40 hours with the cable. In total, the Sony WH-1000XM3 is a great all-around product and the higher price is more than justified.
B & O Beoplay H9i
If you're someone who doesn't just get the ultimate experience without compromise, then the B&O Beoplay H9i is the headset for you. It is one of the best and most luxurious wireless headphones on the market. They were made from a blend of anodized aluminum, hardened cowhide and super-soft lambskin, making them a helmet equivalent to a supercar. But they are not only pretty, they also pack a lot of features. There is a Bluetooth function, active noise cancellation, touch controls and Transparency mode to listen without removing the headphones. The battery life is around 18 hours which is good. The coolest thing about this headset is a proximity sensor that automatically pauses the music when you take the headset off and continues when you put it back on. This model is even more expensive than our previous product, but well worth it.
Bowers & Wilkins PX
This headset is the first wireless model manufactured by B&W, with the aim of joining the race for wireless noise canceling devices. To distinguish itself from market leaders such as Bose QC35 II and Sony WH-1000XM2, B&W has focused on luxurious design and sound quality that will satisfy any audiophile. But other than that, they also have some pretty awesome towers.
One of those tips is the Adaptive Noise Canceling and Wear Noise Sensor, which detects when your headphones are on and off and adjusts the reading accordingly. They are so sensitive that they can detect the very moment you lift an earpiece for a brief conversation.
Noise cancellation isn't at the level of major products like the Bose QC35 II and Sony WH-1000XM2, but if you want to get the best sound possible from wireless headphones, look no further.
Bose QuietComfort 35
Bose has a reputation for making excellent headphones with active noise cancellation, and QuietComfort 35 II is their latest model. Like the previous models, they are light and comfortable, which makes them perfect for traveling. Not to mention that they offer the best noise cancellation on the market.
This time around, there weren't a lot of changes from the predecessors, simply because there wasn't a lot to improve on. What's still missing is aptX support, but the sound is still great, even if not at the level of the best devices. Changes from previous models indicate that the level of noise cancellation is now adjustable. A Google Assistant is also available for comment notifications from your phone. Battery life remains 20 hours cordless or 40 hours corded.
Urbanist Seattle
The Urbanista Seattle headphones are versatile, wireless, and cost less than $ 100. This is the difficult combination to improve. There are headsets with much better features, but the value for money Urbanista Seattle makes them the product to use every day. They sound really good and they are flexible enough to stay on your head even during exercises. This class of headphones (under $ 100) is distinguished by solid bass boost and smooth sound, without any attenuation. Of course, being the budget product, there is no NFC or aptX support, but overall there is very little to dislike about these headphones.
Conclusion
With the phasing out of a headphone jack from modern mobile phones, the wireless headphone market began to flourish. Among the many products currently available, we decided to choose the top 5, based on several criteria. The headsets we have chosen range from the most luxurious and high-end products to quite affordable but still quality devices.
