Headphones, according to different needs, have different characteristics.
But when it comes to headphones, you must take into account the sound quality.
Just as everyone has the person they think is right, everyone has the “sound quality” that they think is good.
Today, I recommend 5 wireless noise-canceling headphones that get most people’s love in terms of “sound quality”.
PS: If you don’t want to look at the process, you can skip to the end to see the conclusion.
1st place Sony wireless noise cancelling headphones WH-1000XM4 1600RMB
When it comes to sound quality, you can’t avoid Sony. After all, when Sony was studying sound quality, the current “fruit company” was just getting started.
Although Sony is now far from the scale of the “fruit company”, the “sound quality” thing, in addition to those digital indicators, there are many analog psychological indicators, it is difficult to rely purely on numbers to describe.
Sony’s WH-1000XM4, including the previous generation WH-1000XM3, in terms of sound quality, can be said to be a very classic masterpiece in the wireless noise reduction headphone industry.
Integrating Sony’s high-quality LDAC Bluetooth coding technology, high-resolution sound quality can still be achieved even wirelessly.
There is also DSEE Extreme technology, which can forcibly convert compressed audio sources into high-quality audio sources through interpolation.
It is equipped with powerful noise reduction technology. This technology, using Sony’s unique processor and two microphones, can achieve high-precision noise reduction, and common scenarios, such as on the road, on the subway, cafes, etc., can achieve very accurate noise reduction.
There are touch switches on the frame body, which can effectively control the playback, pause, noise reduction, transparency mode switching, etc. of songs.
I have a WH-1000XM3 myself, and I personally feel that the sound quality is already very good. Therefore, I believe that the WH-1000XM4 should be improved.
2nd BOSE QuietComfort 45 2000rmb
Bose is a brand represented by the sound quality of heavy bass. If bass is a thing, then this headphone from Bose is perfect for you. The headwear and earmuffs are made of synthetic leather, which is very high-class. The headset is still made of fiberglass nylon value, which has high impact resistance, so it will be very durable.
Bose uses its own TriPort technology to enhance bass. With Dynamic EQ, the best sound quality can be maintained at any volume and the bass effect can be maintained even when the volume drops.
Like other wireless headphones, there is a Quiet mode (noise reduction mode) that reduces ambient noise, and an Aware mode (transparency mode) that collects ambient sounds.
3rd place Apple AirPodsMax 4399rmb
This headset, Apple’s ingenuity, is indeed excellent in all aspects, whether it is the exterior design or the internal performance, it is very excellent. Perhaps the only downside is that it’s expensive.
In terms of appearance, there is no doubt that the sense of fashion and technology is full of apple style, which is very eye-catching. But if it is only appearance, it certainly cannot be used as a judging criterion for headphones.
It still depends on its internal performance, noise reduction and sound quality, although this aspect is also very good, but it is difficult to say that it surpasses other brands of headphones.
The key is that if you compare other headphones of the same price, AirPods Max does not reach the sound quality at this price point.
As a company that is not known for sound quality, this price point is really a bit high.
4th Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless 2000rmb
Sennheiser, the light luxury aristocracy in headphones.
If you like natural-sounding quality, Sennheiser is definitely worth buying.
Worn overhead, the ear cushions are made of genuine leather material, which is both stylish and comfortable. And the ear cushions are made very large, covering the ears entirely, even if you wear them for a long time, you will not feel fatigued.
The sound focuses on the balance of the individual frequency bands, faithful to the original sound. There are three noise reduction modes: maximum mode, wind noise reduction mode, and stress reduction mode. Of course, there will also be a transparency mode, so that external sounds can also be heard.
5th place DENON wireless noise reduction AH-GC30 2600rmb
DENON, the brand of this headphone is also a brand that values the original sound quality. This brand is also a company that has its own style for sound quality. The same goes for this headset.
First of all, aptU, APTX-HD, AAC Bluetooth technology is supported.
Secondly, what is particularly special is equipped with a FreeEdge 40mm pronunciation unit, this pronunciation unit, the carcass in the middle is a paper fiber and carbon fiber mixed material, so the bass will be very thick, and the bass thickness is not achieved by signal processing, but the analog characteristics of the material itself of the pronouncer.
The noise reduction ability is not particularly strong, only three noise reduction modes of aircraft, city, and office. There is also a transparency mode.
