There\u2019s even Alexa and Siri voice control built-in. But its noise cancelling, although good, is outclassed by Sony (see below).

Superb sound:<\/strong> Bowers & Wilkins are perfect for classical listeners <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\nBEST FOR NOISE CANCELLING <\/h5>\n\nSony WH-1000XM5 \u00a3379 <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\nThis boasts the best ANC I\u2019ve experienced. Dead quiet when in full ANC mode, they are also adjustable to enable you to bring in ambient sound; plus, you can also set up speak-to-chat via the Sony headphone app, which reduces both music volume and ANC when you say something. Remove them, and music pauses instantly too. At 250g, they\u2019re light for over-ear headphones and the vegan leatherette ear cups and headband are extremely comfortable. As with the Px7 S2, they come with a generous 30hr battery.

<\/figure><\/div>\n\nBEST SOUND QUALITY <\/h5>\n\nBowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 \u00a3379<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\nBEST BUY <\/h6>\n\n
Apologies to anyone looking for a bargain this month, but there has recently been a flurry of new, premium-priced active noise-cancelling (ANC) wireless headphones. So if you want to invest in the best, the Px7 S2 offers everything you\u2019d expect from the British Hi-Fi stalwarts. Beautifully made from memory foam, sumptuously soft leather, metal and high quality plastics, they feel expensive \u2013 as they should \u2013 but there\u2019s also a reassuring robustness. The wide headband is ultra-comfortable and I\u2019ve been working in them for hours without complaint. <\/p>\n\n
Carefully angled inside each ear cup are 40mm drive units to focus the sound more accurately, while Bluetooth 5.2, aptX Adaptive, SBC and AAC means 24bit hi-res audio is well catered for. Four microphones create excellent noise cancellation, if not as impressive as the Sony (see left), and when it comes to sound quality, they\u2019re a class apart, with the sort of expansive soundstage and level of detail that has me daydreaming at my desk and missing train stops. With Francesca Dego\u2019s new recording of Mozart Violin Concertos (Chandos), the headphones handle the most delicate and dramatic passages with consummate ease. In fact, no recording I played felt strained. If sound quality and wireless convenience are the most important factors, you won\u2019t be disappointed.
