These over-ear Bluetooth headphones use four mics for hybrid active noise cancellation, handy for tuning out commutes and open-plan offices. BassUp technology adds deep, punchy low-end in wireless mode, or you can plug in via AUX for Hi-Res audio. Battery life is the headline: up to 40 hours even with ANC on, so days can pass between charges. Multipoint connection switches between phone and laptop, and the soundcore app lets you tweak the EQ. A 4.6 rating from nearly 70,000 buyers is a strong showing. Check the current price and availability on Amazon.

How it compares in Headphones, Earphones & Accessories
Across the 50 rated headphones, earphones & accessories products we track, the typical score is 4.4 out of 5. This one sits at 4.6, which is around the middle of the category. Ratings alone will not separate it from its rivals here, so price and the specifics below matter more than the star count. That places it first of the 50 we rank here.
It carries 69,925 ratings against a category median of 10,103. A rating from a large base is harder to distort and tends to hold up over time, so a high score here means more than the same score on a new listing.
On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £3.99 to £189, where the midpoint is about £18.99. It is priced above the field and rated above it too, so the premium is at least matched by how buyers rate it.
