Top Five BEST Wireless Active Noise Cancelling Headphones !!!!
Top Five BEST Wireless Active Noise Cancelling Headphones !!!!
Hey all steemans today i am going to review a bunch of Noise Cancelling Headphones and would be suggesting you, which one are the top five best available on the market and in my opinion does a great job at blocking most of the outside world for you, So here's my list of the best ANC headphones that I've personally tested.
Sony MDR-1000X
Once you put on the Sony MDR-1000X it hits all the right notes. The Sonys' acoustic noise-canceling is excellent. Like all ANC, it analyzes background noise around you, and uses phase-shifted sound to cancel it out. While wearing the headset with ANC turned on, you'll still hear a muted suggestion of voices or mid to high frequency sound around you, but the deep steady thrum of airplane engines or train locomotives is completely eliminated. When you combine the noise-canceling with a musical track or a podcast, it's, well, it's kinda like having your own personal sound booth on your head. Ironically, Sony's approach to noise-canceling stands out the most in how you can turn it off. If someone's talking to you or you're listening for an overhead announcement, say, at the airport, you don't need to take the headphones off. Instead, you just put your hand over the touch-pad on the right ear cup. The music drops out, the ANC turns off, and the sounds of the outside world get piped in through the microphones.
Also, the touch-pad worked well for volume and skip control, as well as play-pause. The 1000X produces sound that's warm and open and rich. Voice quality over Bluetooth phone calls is better on these than some other headsets. Crucially, battery life is also excellent as 20 hour claim between top-ups is legit. The only setback is that the headset can't connect to multiple devices at once. Now, that's not an issue for me since I typically only use it with one device at a time, but one look at Sony's help forums shows a lot of folks feel differently. The MDR-1000X launched at $399, but it's already gotten a $50 price cut. That's down in Bose territory and it's undercutting Sennheiser, which is still up around $400 in most places. At $350, it's basically a no-brainer. The 1000X is an easy recommendation for business travelers who have the scratch for a nice set of headphones and a need for silence where noise usually reigns.

Bose QuietComfort 35 the QC 35
these are the successor to I guess pretty much the gold standard for premium noise cancelling headphones qc25 which have been my go-to for bus and train rides and flights for the past couple years so naturally when you get a successor to them you kinda have to wonder what's different about them and are they worth the difference in price. Really in premium noise cancelling headphones you look for a couple things which are build quality, comfort, sound quality and then of course how good the noise cancellation actually is, now build quality is just fine here it's pretty overall lightweight pair of plastic built headphones pretty flexible along with the super soft foam on the top band and the super soft leather ear cushions that go over your ears all of this combines together to make them really comfortable. Buttons are pretty tactile which is important when you're pressing them blind and battery life is also top of the line with 20-hour active battery life seems to hold up every time. charge it once a week and you are good. It has a micro USB charging port and yes you do get that mini cable and a three-and-a-half millimeter headphone, so if you just want regular listening with no noise cancellation you have to do it through the wire but you can't do it wirelessly.
If you've heard bose noise-canceling headphones before you know exactly what i'm talking about it's great for flights it's great for loud environments trains, buses basically anytime you want to cancel out the outside world and just hear your audio just listening to your music isolated I mean that's why you buy noise cancelling headphones in the first place so I'm happy to say that Bose has put together a complete package here. even has things like NFC built-in for quick bluetooth pairing.

Sennheiser wireless momentum 2.0
now moving to number 2 these are my oldest and have been my favorite for some time here these are the Sennheiser wireless momentum 2.0 they offer the best bass boosted audio signatures perfect for pop hip-hop and EDM. they offers very loud performance, amazing bettery life at over 22 hours of use and a timeless design, now active noise-cancelling cannot be turned off, they do lickin some sound compared to others. Regarding comfort they feel great for extended play, super light and overall very durable. the retail price on these are a crazy four hundred and fifty dollars to $500 from Sennheiser's websites but again my link has them for about $350.

Parrot Zik 2.0
now the pair of Parrot Zik 2.0 and 3 models I really love how these look not only does the minimalist design looks unique but you can feel the quality materials use, very smooth polished metal to the leather it just absolutely feels great in the hands. They retail for $300 but I've always seen them on sale for around 200 making these the cheapest on this list. The noise cancelling is close to the bose QC 35 s which is phenomenal, you do have the option through the app to adjust or turn off the noise canceling altogether and then there's other options like sound profiles and NFC. The audio performance is very good in my opinion offering a well rounded sound good enough for most generals to be enjoyed but the battery life in Wireless mode is a bit low at just seven hours but negative here turns into a positive as they do have interchangeable batteries so having a spare battery is ideal, if the bettery ever goes bad maybe outside of warranty you can always replace them, now regarding comfort they feel great but some time they do tend to slip off the head, if you're just sitting at the desk Listening these ziks they work perfectly fine.

Sennheiser this is the PXC 550s
It's a more recent model it's also from Sennheiser this is the PXC 550s that specifically made for travelers it's super lightweight very comfortable to wear as well and the features offered are one of the best, now you have touch controls on the side and they are much more responsive than the parrot Zik, you do have te ability tho turn off the active noise-cancelling feature if you choose to do so you can also place these on standby if you fold the ear cups inwards which is really unique now one very handy feature if you lift off either ear cup or take the headphones off altogether the headphones pauses your music and will resume once again once you put your ear cups or your headphones back on your head now the active noise-cancelling works very well here it's almost as good again as the boys QC 35 but again there's two other headphones after this one here that does a better job. These Sennheiser PXC 550 retail for 399 dollars.

That's cool! I remember there are projects in Kickstarter about a device which uses some sort of wave technology to clear all the noises surrounding you and you just need to place that stuff near your seat and it is then supposed to work. Though not quite related to your article, i do think noise clearing tech is very important and interesting!
thanks for commenting, guys i have started a new tech blog. thank you all for your support
They are great but no mic is kind of an issue with gaming for me
i forgot to mention but i am pretty sure all of them do have a mic built in
