Sony WH-1000XM3

The Sony 1000X M3 is a top pick. The over-ear, noise-canceling headphones are the third iteration of Sony’s 1000X series. The 1000X M3 justifies the pared-down price of $349.

Bowers & Wilkins PX7

A slew of features including exquisite sound, noise-canceling, long battery life, easy to wear, and future-proofed connectivity are attributes of the latest flagship headphones PX7 from British manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins.

The PX7’s redesigned earcups come with plush cushions that sit firmly on the side of the head and slip on the hair.

Bluetooth codecs are SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive. The battery lasts 30 hours and the combo of proprietary driver technology and Qualcomm’s new aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec are notable strengths.

Grado SR80e

Grado is known for its retro styling and open-backed design and delivers a nimble and pacy sound with clean and punchy bass. Dynamics, detail, and clarity are all-but-unmatched at this price. The foam earpads keep ears nicely ventilated. Build-quality is evident in the use of good metals at the right places more than plastic.
