Wireless over-ear headphones

Bose's second-generation flagship over-ear headphones focus on active noise cancellation and travel comfort. They can play audio over USB-C as well as Bluetooth and the included analogue cable, which makes them more flexible at a desk or on a flight. Battery life changes when Immersive Audio is enabled, so that setting belongs in any real-world comparison. Not tested here yet.

A wireless over-ear alternative built around unusually long quoted battery life: up to 60 hours even with active noise cancellation enabled. It supports multipoint Bluetooth and can also work over a cable, making it suitable for comparing travel convenience with everyday desk use. Comfort and control behaviour matter as much as the headline endurance. Not tested here yet.

Sony's current flagship wireless over-ear headphones combine active noise cancellation with a foldable design, a wired input, and support for higher-quality LDAC audio on compatible devices. The practical comparison points are long-session comfort, microphone performance, and whether Sony's noise cancellation is worth the premium over simpler models. Not tested here yet.

A mainstream wireless over-ear model with adaptive noise cancellation, multipoint pairing, and an analogue input. Its role in the catalogue is to test how much of the premium experience survives at a more accessible tier: comfort, call quality, and noise reduction are the questions the specification sheet cannot answer.
