Life is full of hard choices, but choosing the right style of over-the-ear headphones shouldn’t be one of them.
Some prefer small headphones that settle in the ear, while others are looking for large headphones that cover the ears, and for those, we have put together the following list that includes the best options in this category.
Whether you’re looking for a wired or wireless model, over-the-ear headphones offer a triple advantage: sound, comfort and style. It should be noted that most of the wireless headphones in this category come with a wire to give you more flexibility when you want to connect them at any time, in addition to that most of them include noise isolation features that are of great benefit to people who suffer from acoustic and sensory sensitivities.
Below we present to you a list of the best headphones that cover the ears, during which we took into account several factors, such as durability of design, comfort, sound quality, noise isolation, and performance in communications.
• “AirPods Max” from “Apple” (Apple AirPods Max), the most advanced
Yes, its price is high, but it guarantees you that you will get a richer and clearer sound than its competitors in the same category from other brands such as “Bose” and “Sony”, in addition to that it is characterized by the best noise isolation in the market, in addition to unparalleled durability, and the spatial sound feature Virtual environment for watching videos. The AirPods Max may be a little heavy, but they are comfortable and can be installed on the head for added safety while moving. Finally, these headphones fit most head shapes, but there are always exceptions.
• «WH – 1000XM5» from «Sony» the best noise isolation
When you own a beloved product, change is often difficult, and this is the case with the “WH – 1000XM5” headphones, the fifth generation of the “1000X” series from “Sony”, which entered the market for the first time in 2016 and gained wide popularity as a result of the improvements it was witnessing with every New generation. Sony has made minor design modifications over the past years, but the biggest one was in the headset we chose.
The WH-1000XM5 recorded a significant price increase of $400 ($50 more expensive than its predecessor), in addition to other mostly good changes, and performance improvements in audio communications, noise isolation, and sound quality.
• “Quiet Comfort 45” from “Bose” (Bose QuietComfort 45) is the best choice for fans of the “Bose” brand
QuietComfort 45 has the same design as its predecessor, with the exception of the “USB-C” port, which has replaced the Micro USB port. (The Comfort 45 weighs 238 grams, three grams heavier than its predecessor, the QC35, meaning you won’t feel the difference.) Many people, including us, believe that the QuietComfort design is more comfortable than other Bose headphones because it folds up and lays flat. In short, it is arguably the most comfortable headset on the market.
