The best keeps getting better
Sony followed up the excellent WH-1000XM4 with another winner, indisputably the best all-around pair of cans with noise-cancelling you can buy at anything approaching a reasonable price. They're understated, boast amazing sound quality, and pack a battery that lasts up to an impressive 30 hours with ANC enabled (or 40 without).
the best noise-cancelling headphones title for years, and the latest iteration is no exception. The WH-1000XM5 pair some of the best active noise cancelling in consumer headphones with a great fit, top-notch sound quality, and an understated design that matches nearly any aesthetic. They might not pop with RGB lighting or have a hyper-stylized design like current streamer and gaming headphones, but they focus on functionality and an impressive battery life of up to 30 hours with ANC enabled and 40 hours without.
