Top 5 Wireless on Ear Headphones
With no connecting wires wireless headphones on ear tend to be smaller and more portable than over-ears. They also typically offer better battery life and come with a carry case to store them safely.
The Jabra Elite 45h feature-packed on-ear headphones for a bargain price. They feature Bluetooth 5 connectivity, as well as a few physical buttons. They also support the aptX format for Hi-Res audio streaming. Their default sound profile is very heavy on bass, but it can be changed in the app by using an EQ graph.
Focal Bathys Wireless
Focal is synonymous with high-end audio and the Bathys Wireless headphones are no different. They're over-ear headphones featuring active noise cancellation and high-quality audio.
The 40mm aluminium/magnesium "M"-shaped domed driver is produced in France. Focal has improved the driver for portability use and the result is an amazing headphone. It's the most vibrant set of cans I've ever tested and they can effortlessly reveal even the most minute detail with an incredibly rich and full sound.
In contrast to other ANC cans that sound hollow and plasticky The Bathys are solidly built with a sturdy headband and ear cups that fit comfortably over your ears. The Bathys are also relatively light and come with USB-C cables to listen via wire.
The Bathys features an easy-to-use and intuitive control system. A series of buttons are located on the right side of the cup and allow you to control your virtual assistant, Bluetooth pairing and the source that you're listening. One click on the ANC toggle button will switch between different modes ranging from standard SBC to the more advanced aptX and aptX Adaptive codecs.
If you connect your device using the USB cable, you can play up to 24bit/192kHz. Fortunately, this doesn't need any additional software or hardware to activate and the headphones take care of it all automatically.
One oddity is the LED on each earcup that illuminates with white lights when the headphones are turned on. It's a nice aesthetic design, but I'm not sure if it's necessary. over ear headphones noise cancelling wireless aren't heavy on power and do not impact battery life. The Focal &Naim app allows users to turn off the lights as well as manage EQ and voice assistance as well as several other settings. The app is simple to use and quite light however I did experience some teething problems with the program. You can select from various sounds that sound futuristic and boops to indicate mode or button presses.

Skullcandy uproar
Skull Candy's latest Uproar Wireless headphones are making waves in the market for budget headphones. These Bluetooth on-ear headsets are comfortable, have a long-lasting battery and look fashionable. They cost under PS40.
The headphones are light in design that makes them extremely comfortable to wear. They're mostly made of plastic, which makes them lightweight and flexible, but they are also a bit fragile. I wouldn't recommend dropping them from a height above my head. The ear pads are only partially covering your ears, meaning they won't block out noise like you'd expect.
Pairing with your phone is a simple and fast process. First, ensure that the headphones are turned on and the LED indicator is flashing quickly. Go to the Bluetooth settings on your mobile device and connect the headphones. Once they're connected they'll automatically connect to your device each time it's within range.
The quality of the sound from these headphones is something that I like. The bass is fantastic and you can clearly hear a lot of the finer details in your music. The highs are crisp and clear. Compared to some of the other headphones I've tried they sound great for their price and are definitely worth the price.
They are also rechargeable, and come with an USB cord. This means you can easily charge them on the go. They also come with an audio input that you can use to play your music with your smartphone when the headphones aren't connected.
Another good thing about these headphones is that they have a built-in microphone that allows you to take calls. This is handy for those who are on the move and do not want to carry an additional cord. In addition to that they come with a battery life of around 10 hours which is very good.
Audio-Technica ATH-M60x
The ATH-60x, the newest addition to Audio-Technica’s popular M series, is a closed, on-ear headphone that is ideal for mobile, studio and broadcasting. The M60xs feature the same 45mm wide aperture drivers as the popular M50xs, which deliver excellent audio quality. They work across a variety of frequencies with crystal clear clarity and a rich response in the bass.
The M60x's frame is constructed of both metal and plastic, with a durable finish. The low-profile design is extremely comfortable, with the earpads and headband crafted from protein leather which is less likely to cause sweating. The headband is more narrow than the other M headphones, which helps to make them feel more light and more breathable on your head, as well as making them more suitable for use with glasses.
The cable is available in short, long and coiled varieties and also an easy-to-store pouch to store them when not in use. The cable connection is secured with the bayonet lock mechanism which is a nice touch and helps keep the headphones securely attached to your device. The M60xs come with a low impedance of 38 ohms. They should be compatible with nearly every device.
If you compare them to headphones for over-ear use like the Bowers & Wilkins P5 Series 2 The M60xs are more balanced in their sound that doesn't focus on any particular frequencies. The M60xs are also bit less expensive than Bowers & Wilkins, which makes them a great choice for those on a budget.
The M60xs are an alternative to the classic M series design, but they still look stunning. The sleek matte black frame is complemented with a minimalistic logo on the band. The M60xs may not be the most convenient on-ears, as they're not foldable and are a bit bulky to transport, but they're still a good option for professional audio. Their noise isolation performance is not the best, letting in the rumble of plane and bus engines. This can be disguised by loud music, and they are extremely effective in eliminating the sounds of location from podcasts and videos.
