At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

Sony’s flagship over-ear wireless headphones were released in 2022 and still comfortably hold the top spot in our round-up of the best wireless headphones. We can attest to their quality, especially when it comes to noise-cancellation. In fact, this writer is wearing theirs right now.

Sony’s noise cancellation tech is a cut above the competition. The headphones also include smart features such as quick attention – which lowers the volume when you need to chat – as well as Alexa and Google Assistant integration.

More importantly, they sound great, with fine controls for EQ tuning when you want to tweak to your exact sound profile. “Whether it’s orchestral music, rap, podcasts or your favourite pop tracks, the WH-1000XM5 handle it all with poise and gumption – they never miss a beat”.
