Sony’s WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones are one of the most widely praised tech releases of 2020. It's a sure bet among audiophiles with excellent sound quality packed into a lightweight but durable product. Though the headphones look similar to Sony’s previous iteration in the series (the WH-1000XM3), this version has improved audio and noise-cancellation as well as a cool auto-play and auto-pause feature that automatically stop your tunes when the device detects that you’re in the middle of a conversation. Plus, you get 30 hours of usage on a full battery and up to five hours of listening after just 10 minutes of charging!

If you really want to adjust your sound quality, you can use the Sennheiser Smart Control App (available on the App Store and Google Play Store) to tailor the audio to your personal taste—you can turn up the bass on your fave tunes or optimize the intelligibility of podcasts, audio books, and videos.

When it comes to battery life, these Audio-Technica headphones are unbeatable, offering up to 70 hours of continuous use—you won't have to charge them again for days! Though the device doesn’t have a noise-cancelling feature, the over-ear design does help cut out some background noise. Don’t expect too many bells and whistles on this pair as far as advanced audio features go, but the impressive lasting power, light and comfortable fit, and top-notch sound quality make this a great device for anyone who just wants a good pair of headphones with no fuss—and best of all, no bank-breaking price tag!

JBL’s Club 950NC packs strong active noise-cancellation and quality audio performance into a sleek, leather-finish over-ear headphones, making for a mid-range device that's well worth the coins. True audiophiles know that top-of-the-line noise-cancelling typically requires a price tag heftier than this pair’s, but they still offer pretty impressive ambient sound reduction when compared to similar devices in their price range.

Elite 85h Wireless with Noise-Cancelling Headphones (P17,499) from Jabra

Jabra’s 85H headphones delivers premium-quality noise-cancellation, comfortable wear, battery life up to 36 hours, and excellent audio that promises depth and clarity—and for a price that’s a few grand less than many other devices with the same specs. They’re also a good option for remote working that involves lots of video calls as the microphone works fairly well—they’re by no means studio headphones, but they’ll get the job done for most. We recommend them for anyone constantly on-the-go who needs sharp audio, effective noise reduction, and quick charging. The coating is water-resistant, too, so they should be safe no matter where you take them.

Available online.

BASS+ SHB3075 Wireless Headphones (P2,735) from Philips

For a budget-friendly option, Philips' BASS+ headphones are a safe bet with a price tag below the P3,000 line. Don’t expect the most luxurious build as these headphones are primarly plastic and have an on-ear design instead of over-ear, but if all you need is ample battery life (up to 12 hours!), Bluetooth connectivity, and good sound quality for listening to music or taking calls, casual users can’t go wrong with this no-fuss device.
