Collection: Over-Ear & On-Ear Headphones

On a flight, a train or in an open office, over-ear headphones with noise cancelling cover the whole ear and cut the hum before the music starts. The Sony WH-1000XM6 runs its HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3 across 12 microphones and adjusts to the noise around you, the air pressure and the way you wear it. It plays for up to 30 hours with noise cancelling on and 40 with it off, and 3 minutes on a USB PD charger give about 3 hours. The Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION uses the same QN3 processor with a metal headband, soft faux leather and a 30mm carbon-composite driver.

AirPods Max 2 put an H2 chip in each ear cup, for noise cancellation up to 1.5 times more effective than the previous generation, Adaptive Audio that balances noise control with awareness, and 24-bit lossless audio over the included USB-C cable, with up to 20 hours per charge. AirPods Max (USB-C) keep Personalized Spatial Audio, Transparency mode and 20 hours of battery. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) add spatial audio, Bluetooth 5.4 multipoint and wired listening over USB-C, with up to 30 hours of battery, and the Sony WH-1000XM5 has eight microphones and 30 hours.

For long days at university or work, battery comes first. The JBL Tune 730BT plays for up to 76 hours, and 5 minutes of charging give up to 5 hours. The JBL Tune 770NC adds adaptive noise cancelling with up to 44 hours with it on and 70 with it off. The Xiaomi REDMI Headphones Neo combine adaptive noise cancelling up to 42dB with about 72 hours with noise cancelling off, and the CMF Headphone Pro by Nothing reaches up to 100 hours with interchangeable ear cushions. For calls from home, the Logitech Zone Vibe 100 weighs 185g, runs up to 20 hours and has a flip-to-mute noise-cancelling microphone.

Over-ear cups sit around the ear and spread the pressure, which suits long sessions; on-ear models rest on the ear and fold smaller for a bag. For the gym or a pocket, true wireless earbuds and neckband earphones sit in the ear, wired headphones need no charging at all, and every Bluetooth style, from over-ear to earbuds, is on our wireless headphones page.
