This is what I like to call an exciting headphone - dynamic, fun. There's lots of energy in the bass and some sparkle in the treble. Sennheiser describes the 250BT as having club-like sound, and that's a fairly apt take.

Equipped with Bluetooth 5.0, its features seem pretty basic, but it does have 25-hour battery life, as well as support for the AAC and AptX audio codecs, and it also taps into Sennheiser's Smart Control app, allowing you to customize the sound a bit. But now the company has released a new $70 (£60) on-ear wireless model, the 250BT, that should appeal to those on a tighter budget. The last few years I've written up a fair number of new Sennheiser headphones, most of which have had more premium price tags. Alas, the Lightning-to-3.5mm is an optional Bluetooth headset accessory that costs $35, which is ridiculous.
I just wish it cost a little less and came with a cable to plug in to in-flight entertainment systems. It's comfortable for an on-ear model and it's more compact design travels better than some full-size models on this list. The sound quality of these wireless earphones is smooth and well-balanced, with punchy bass that doesn't make music sound boomy. With a tap of a button, you can turn off that noise cancellation to save battery life or hit the button a second time to enter an audio transparency mode that allows you to hear the outside world and ambient sound, not just the music you're listening to.Īvailable in multiple color options, the noise-canceling headphone is equipped with six microphones, two of which are beamforming mics designed to hone in on your voice when you're making calls or talking to your voice assistant (Apple's H1 chip is on board for always-on Siri). It uses the company's Pure Adaptive Noise Canceling (Pure ANC headphones), "derived from the over-ear Studio3 Wireless, with updated tuning to accommodate the on-ear form factor," Beats says.

The Solo Pro is the first Beats on-ear headphone to feature active noise cancellation and the first full-size Beats wireless headphone to charge via Lightning. The headphones have physical buttons for controlling volume and playback and there's AptX support for devices that support the wireless streaming codec. No carry pouch is included, but you do get an extra set of foam ear pads, which is good because they will wear out over time. Call quality was good in my tests with callers saying they could hear me well even on the noisy streets of New York. Also, the price is right for parents looking for a decent set of kids' headphones for remote learning and everyday use.Ĭomfortable for on-ear headphones, the Jam V2 are lightweight and have nicely balanced sound with good detail and bass that's ample but not overpowering.

Often when pairing Bluetooth headphones with Mac and Windows PCs, one can encounter some issues, but once I got the headphones paired with both my PC and phone, they made a good pair of work-from-home headphones. I was able to pair the headphones with a Mac Mini and an iPhone 12 Pro and then switch audio between them. Now the headphone is available in a 2.0 version that has some key upgrades, including Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C charging, improved call quality and multipoint Bluetooth pairing that allows you to pair it to two devices simultaneously. I was a fan of Creative's original Sound Blaster Jam headphones that came out in 2015 and had a decidedly retro look and feel with good sound for the money. There isn't a single earbud on this list, so if that's something you're looking for, check out our wireless earbud list to have music playing directly into your ear canal.

They're all wireless headphones models except the Grado Prestige Series SR80e and Beats Ep wired headphone. Here's a look at our current top picks for the best on-ear headphones based on key factors such as how effective they are at noise cancellation and how good they sound. They've also evolved, with more models featuring active noise cancellation, noise isolation, a headphone amp and other advanced features that were once only found in larger over-ear models. While headphones that sit on top of one's ears aren't everyone's thing, on-ear models with smaller earcups are more compact, travel-friendly and tend to cost less. Even though full-size around-ear or over-ear headphones tend to deliver the best sound, and listening experience, not everyone wants to walk around wearing bulky headphones with giant, squishy ear pads.
