Top 5 Wireless on Ear Headphones

With no wires to connect wireless headphones on ear are usually lighter and more portable over-ears. They typically have longer battery lives and are packaged in a carry case to ensure secure storage.

The Jabra Elite45h are earphones with a lot of features at a great price. They boast Bluetooth 5 connectivity and a smattering of physical push-button controls. They also support aptX Hi-Res audio streams. The default sound profile is heavy on bass but this can be changed in the app using a graphic EQ.

Focal Bathys Wireless

Focal is synonymous with high-end audio and the Bathys Wireless headphones are no different. These are over-ear headphones that feature active noise cancellation and high-quality audio.

They're powered by a 40mm aluminum-magnesium domed driver in the shape of an 'M' that's made in France. Focal has refined the driver for portable use and the result is an amazing headphone. It's the most powerful set of cans I've ever heard and they effortlessly let you hear even the smallest details with the full and deep sound.

Contrary to other ANC cans that sound hollow and plastic The Bathys are well-constructed with a durable headband and earcups that comfortably fit over your ears. They're also fairly lightweight and include a USB-C cable for a wired listening option.

The Bathys comes with an easy-to-use and intuitive control system. A cluster of buttons are situated on the right of the cup and allow you to control your virtual assistant, Bluetooth pairing and the music source you're listening. The ANC toggle button allows you to switch between different modes, from the standard SBC codecs to more advanced aptX or aptX Adaptive codes.

If you connect your device via the USB cable, you can play up to 24bit/192kHz. This doesn't require additional hardware or software to activate and the headphones do it all automatically.

One oddity is the LED on each ear cup which glows with white light when the headphones are turned on. It's a nice touch, but I'm unsure whether it's a necessity. The lights aren't power-hungry and do not affect battery life. You can disable them via the Focal and Naim app, which can also be used to manage EQ and voice assistants as well as some other settings. The application is fairly light and user-friendly however I encountered a few problems with the app initially. Some features prompt a voice prompt but you can also select from a variety of futuristic-sounding boops and beeps that signal the button's press and modes.

Skullcandy uproar

The headphones are lightweight and extremely comfortable. The headphones are made mainly of plastic, which makes them incredibly light and flexible, but also brittle. I wouldn't want to drop them from a height above my blue tooth Head phones. The ear pads only partially covering your ears, meaning they won't be noise-isolating like you'd expect.

Pairing your phone with your headphones is a simple and fast process. First, ensure that the headphones are turned on and that the LED indicator is blinking rapidly. Then, open the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone and blue tooth head phones pair the headphones. Once they're connected they'll automatically connect to your device each time it is in range.

One thing that I really enjoy about the headphones is how great they sound. The bass is fantastic and you can hear a lot of the details in your music. The highs sound crisp and clear. When compared to other headphones I've tested, they sound great for their price and are worth the money.

They can also be recharged, and come with an USB cord. They can be charged while on the move. You can also use the audio input to listen to music on your smartphone even when headphones aren't connected.

They also have an inbuilt microphone that allows you to make calls. This is useful if you're on the move and don't want to carry an extra cord with you. They also come with a battery that can last for about 10 hours, which is a great value.

Audio-Technica ATH-M60x

The ATH-60x is the newest addition to Audio-Technica's popular M series of headphones, and its closed on-ear design makes it perfect for studio, broadcasting and mobile use. Utilizing the same 45mm wide-aperture drivers as the popular M50xs, the M60xs offer high-quality sound, operating across a wide frequency range with crystal clear clarity and rich bass response.

The M60x's frame is composed of metal and plastic with a tough finish. The low-profile design of the M60x is extremely comfortable. The earpads and the headband are made of protein leather which is less likely than other materials to cause sweating. The headband of M headphones is a little narrower, making them more comfortable and airy. They are also ideal for wear with glasses.

Its removable cables are supplied in short, long and coiled variants, as well as an easy-to-store pouch to store them when not in use. The cable connection is secured using a bayonet-lock mechanism. This is a nice feature that ensures the headphones are secure to any device. The M60xs can be used with all devices because of their low impedance.

Comparing the M60xs with headphones for over-ear use such as the Bowers & Wilkins P5 Series 2 they offer more of a balanced sound that doesn't rely on any particular frequency. The M60xs are also priced less than Bowers & Wilkins. This makes them a good option for those on a tight budget.

While the M60xs may depart from the traditional M-series design in some ways, they look great. The sleek matte black frame is complemented with simple logos on the band. The M60xs don't fold and are a bit bulky to carry. However, they are still a good option for professional audio. Noise isolation isn't up to par, as they let in the rumble from airplanes and buses. This can be disguised by loud music, and they are very effective at eliminating the sounds of location from podcasts and videos.
