The Sony WH-1000XM5 is a great pair of headphones for those who love music and need the best wireless headset.

They're comfortable to wear for long periods and are comfortable enough for long commutes and flights. They are noise cancelling headphones that can cut down background noise without compromising clarity or detail. The Sony WH1000XM5 headphones have an excellent amount of bass, particularly for closed-back models. They also provide an impressive soundstage and clear separation between instruments and vocals.

They have a very low latency for bluetooth Headphones range watching videos which is a plus. The lag is so low that it's practically imperceptible and they can be used to play casual gaming. They're not the ideal choice for video games that compete and are a good choice for people who are using them for media consumption and for making calls using hands-free technology.

Sony is dedicated to incorporating smart features into its products, and the WH1000XM5 is no different. The active noise cancellation is one of the best I've heard and they include a whole suite of smart functions to enhance the overall listening experience. Sony's DSEE Extreme Engine upscales compressed audio to near-hi-res quality. They're compatible with Sony's LDAC technology which streams music with higher bitrates over Bluetooth.

2. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2

Bowers & Wilkins flagship headphones that are the PX7 S2 have been consistently on the top lists of wireless headsets since the introduction of the first-generation PX7 in the year 2015. They are in the same category as Sony WH1000XM5 or Bose QuietComfort. Its newest model, the PX7 S2, is an upgrade that takes the initial headphones to a higher level, with better ANC performance as well as a fresh design.

The bio-cellulose drivers that measure 40mm inside the earcups are angled so that they point directly at your eardrums. This delivers a more intimate audio experience unlike other closed-back headphones wireless headphones. It's a bold claim however, one that the PX7 S2 delivers on. Vocals are clear and clear, and bass is a deep and rumbly when it's needed to be.

The PX7 S2 is also very excellent at making calls. It provides crisp, clear sound that does not drown out your voice. They also come with a quick charge that can get you back to full power in less than two hours. Furthermore, they're compatible with high-resolution audio, thanks to an aptX adaptive Bluetooth codec that enables the playback of 24-bit music.

The noise-canceling technology and improved audio performance are the most important improvements for the majority of listeners. In our tests we were able eliminate nearly all of the simulations of aircraft noises using the PX7 S2. They also performed well in Mozart's Et In Carnatus Est and Sanctus, which demonstrate great insight into the shifting dynamics between the solo vocal, wind trio and orchestral accompaniment.

The PX7 S2s aren't just noise-cancelling, they also include a variety of features that make them competitive with other top-rated headphones. They're wireless and have Bluetooth multipoint connectivity, which means you can connect two devices simultaneously, and they have a built-in microphone that supports hands-free calling with your phone's assistant. They're also incredibly durable, with a premium-feeling and durably-built construction that should last for a long time of regular use.

Of course, they're not the perfect models. The clamp force on our test models was a bit more pronounced than we'd like and there aren't as many extra features on the app as other options, but they are minor complaints. The PX7 S2s is a superb wireless headset that is able to compete with other models in its class. It's difficult to imagine any other competitor beating them.

3. Focal Bathys Wireless

For audiophiles who appreciate high-quality sound and are looking for a premium wireless noise-canceling headset, the Focal Bathys are hard to beat. They're the French audio company's first ANC headphones that use Bluetooth and they offer incredible sound in both Bluetooth mode and when connected to an device via USB for hi-fi audio at up to 24 bits/192kHz (the headphone is also capable of blocking external sound with its closed ear cups).

The Bathys are stunning, with their glossy finish and swooping curvatures that are similar to Focal's closed-back Celestee and open-back Elear headphones. They also have premium materials like aluminum and magnesium for a robust build that feels solid, comfortable, and worth the price.

The Bathys bluetooth headphones Range headphones provide a crisp, lively sound quality. They easily outperform consumer ANC devices of similar price like the Sony XM5/5 or Bose QC45. They can be improved further by using direct DAC audio mode which makes them a bona fide option for true hi-fi listeners.

The Focal &Naim app lets users to alter the headphone's playback controls as well as Bluetooth pairing preferences. They can choose between soft or silent intensities for ANC and set the brightness of the LEDs that are on the ear cups, and bluetooth headphones Range tweak settings for EQ. The app is fairly bare-bones but has enough features to make it worthwhile.

The only flaw is the active noise cancellation, which doesn't measure in the same way as the other models. The headphone doesn't block out all ambient noise as the most rated XM5 or AirPods Max, and its treble accuracy is subpar, with a muddy mid to high frequency that impedes the instruments and vocals.

The Focal Bathys aren't the most portable headphones. Their earcups don't fold up and weigh slightly more than other models, meaning they're not the best choice for traveling. They're more suited to a home environment where they can be used for extended listening sessions or as a reference headphone for sound engineering purposes. Despite their size and weight they Bathys are extremely comfortable to wear for prolonged durations of time.

4. Sony WH-CH720N

The Sony WH-CH720N headphones are an excellent pair of wireless headphones that are worth the price. They feature a great noise-cancelling system that does a great job of quelling ambient noise, which makes them great for commuters and travellers. They also offer an attractive high-end look with their robust construction and attractive matte finish.

They look similar to Sony's 1000X and XB910N earphone models. They feature a slim plastic headband, with the standard hinges for the earcups. They're lightweight and comfortable to wear, although they're a bit compressed for my liking. In the box, they come with a USB-C port for charging and a 3.5mm connector, and a decent length cable. They allow multipoint Bluetooth pairing, meaning you can connect them to two devices at the same time, if you wish.

In my tests, the CH720N's hybrid technology for noise cancellation did an excellent job of reducing ambient sound. There were only a few glitches while walking around Waterloo Station and London Victoria. The sound-silencers weren't able to block every sound around them, but they did struggle with low-frequency sounds such as the rumbling engine sounds of trains and buses.

Streaming music through the CH720N's Bluetooth connection was smooth and exhibited a low level of harmonic distortion. I listened to a variety of genres and discovered they were able to handle the intricate interplay between instruments quite well. It did a great job of controlling the bass in rock tracks while keeping the mix in focus.

I love the ability to adjust the Sony Headphones Connect app to modify the CH720N's ANC as well as multipoint connectivity settings to suit your preferences and also include a variety of audio presets. You can also activate DSEE through the app, which improves audio quality and speeds up the removal of compressed audio content.

While the WH-CH720N lacks some of Sony's primetime functions compared to the XM5 (such as Quick Attention and Speak-to-Chat) they do come with an impressive set of features for PS130. 360 Reality Audio, smart controls, and DSEE upscaling feature are all included. The only thing missing is LDAC Bluetooth High-Res Audio Support which I believe would have been a welcome inclusion.
