The best wireless headphones detail

Headphones are great for anyone looking to cut the cord from their music players, they're especially practical when you consider the growing amount of phones launching without a headphone jack such as 

The iPhone 7, HTC U Ultra and Moto Z. Most of these phones are shipping with adaptors to use your existing headphones, but if you want to charge your phone at the same time then wireless headphones are the way to go. 

• Bose QuietComfort 35

The Bose QC35. Bose has finally brought its fantastic noise-cancelling technology to a pair of wireless headphones and it's done so without any of the traditional drawbacks of wireless headphones. They sound great, and their battery life is long enough for all but the longest of flights.

At $349.95 (�289.95 / AU pricing tbc) the QC35s sit firmly at the premium end of the spectrum, but if you want the best noise-cancelling headphones available and the best wireless pair of cans, you can't get any better than this.

• Sennheiser Momentum Wireless

The smaller, cheaper, Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear Wireless are kept off the top spot of the list by their premium price point, which puts them out of reach of all but the most committed of music lovers.

These are a no-holds-barred wireless headphones are oozing with positive qualities. They're comfortable, hard-working set of headphones that will likely last for years.

• Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless

The Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless headphones are a great pair of Bluetooth headphones for fans of bass-heavy music genres.

These headphones is noise-cancellation, which they lack. They're also surprisingly bulky which, though comfortable, might be offputting if you're hoping to use them on your commute.

• Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2

Headphones that can't hold a charge and can't block out sound, let alone sound very good. Let us introduce you to the Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2, one of the few headphones on the market that can do all of the above and cost less than half as much as one of the bigger names like Beats, Bose and Sony. 

The BackBeat Pro 2 offers an excellent travel headphone with incredible battery life, supreme comfort, the ability to pair two device as once and, most importantly, good sound quality for the cost.

• Sony MDR-1000X

The MDR-1000X are definitely the closest competitor to Bose's QuietComfort series we've ever had the pleasure of testing. Some high-end codecs (LDAC, AAC and aptX) help the 1000X sound even better than the QC35s, but ultimately the noise canceling is a bit less effective in Sony's pair of cans.

Sony's wares are still worth a listen � and maybe a purchase � if you aren't too put out by its $400 (�330 or AU$700) price tag.

• Master & Dynamic MW50

The Master & Dynamic MW50 will not disappoint. These headphones are a simply work of art and feel every bit as expensive as their price commands. They sound great with all types of music and are one of the most comfortable on-ear headphones we�ve ever tested. Those looking for value, however, will want to look elsewhere.
