The Beats Studio Pro might lack some key features like wear sensors and multipoint support but at this price, you’ll simply love how balanced and clear the sound is. There’s also lossless USB audio if you prefer to go wired. In all cases, head-tracked spatial audio while the headphones’s ANC ensures you can block out any unnecessary environmental noise while you listen with a transparency mode allowing you to return to the world as needed. Clear call performance is possible too thanks to voice targeting mics. Up to 40 hours of battery life with ANC off means they’ll last for your weekly commute and beyond.

Bose makes some of the best noise-canceling headphones around with the Bose QuietComfort 45 also proving incredibly comfy.

When listening, you can use the adjustable EQ to get things just how you like them while there’s a choice of full ANC or an aware mode for bringing the outside world in as needed. Great call quality is promised too with four external microphones and a noise-rejecting algorithm that is able to filter out environmental sounds for clearer conversations. A quick 15-minute charge gives you three hours playback while a full charge provides you with up to 22 hours.

Considered to be the ultimate headphones right now, the Sony WH-1000XM5 are everything you could want from some new audio equipment.
