    Best vfm wireless headphones

    As per the title I'm looking for a pair of over the ear style wireless headphones to replace my battered skull candy crushers.

    Budget ideally around £100 but wearing comfort and lack of noise leakage of more importance than ultimate sound quality

    Any advice appreciated

    Best vfm wireless headphones

    I’ve got a pair of Sony WH-CH710N and would thoroughly recommend them.

    I had budgeted for the Bose QC35’s and had tried them in JL but after trying out my father’s WH-CH700N’s I really didn’t see the point in spending 3x the dinero for the Bose.

    They’re comfortable, lightweight and the stated 35hr battery life is very generous - with a mix of noise cancelling on and off I’ve managed to achieve roughly 50 hours listening time (work trip to China, forgot the micro usb cable)

    They don’t come with a case, but I found a fitted case on Amazon for about £15 which still kept the total spend to around half that of the Bose.

    i use these for walking and listening to music whilst out and about, insanely cheap and actually sound decent, being discontinued and on clearance priced so cheap as to be almost disposable! they really do punch more like £50 headphones.

    I find them very comfy, the headband is ratcheted and instantly adjustable, and they are closed cup so no leakage to speak of. I think they originally retailed about the £40 mark but are being cleared out to make way for newer models. Battery life on mine seems to be about 10 hours and usb charging is fairly fast. I find the sound decent with good bass. For £1.99 I can’t see a downside!

    Bluetooth or Wireless (with extended range). If the latter, I recommend the Panasonic’s.

    AKG headphones are excellent, k240 studios are my choice for home listening although as they are open backed they are not for everyone. Robust and very neutral they are used in many recording studios.

    Open back are generally better performers than closed back. If your using them outside open backed are fine.
    Closed back are good if your on public transport or in a quiet room when they won't disturb others too much.
