Headphones with noise cancellation are perfect for listening to music or getting some shut-eye while on a flight. Which headphones should you select?

Sony's WH1000XM5 headphones represent the latest version of a model already well-known. They're comfortable, offer great ANC, and fold up into a small carrying case for easy portability.

1. Sony WH-1000XM3

The WH-1000XM3 is among the most effective wireless noise cancelling headphones in the market. Its lightweight, comfortable design offers excellent noise cancellation capabilities, impressive audio ability and long battery life which makes it perfect for use in flight or other travel situations. Its premium design and touch-sensitive controls make it a great option for music lovers who are looking for a stylish and affluent headphone that they can use with any device.

The headphone has control buttons on the right earcup that allow you to play or pause music, move forward or backward, alter volume and control Siri or Google Assistant. It also has ambient sound and noise recognition as well as an atmospheric pressure optimizer to help with air travel and a companion app that lets you adjust your headphone setting.

Compared to the TOZO T6 Truly Wireless, the Sony WH-1000XM3s look more premium and durable, have a more balanced default sound profile, a longer battery life, and superior noise cancellation. They also come with a new DSEE Extreme processor that improves the dynamic range, making them better for audiophiles that listen to music at higher volume. Furthermore, the Sony's added feature -the ability to mute your music while allowing ambient sound to enter by placing your hand over the right earcup for a hands-free call or conversation -- is a major selling point.

2. Bose QuietComfort 35

Bose was one of the first companies to offer active noise cancellation. They continue to have a stronghold on this particular niche. The company's QuietComfort 35 headphones are a good option, with top-quality ANC and a light design that doesn't put pressure on your ears or head.

In comparison to the latest headphones, they may lack in terms of sound quality, but they do an excellent job of blocking out ambient sounds like cars whizzing by, rumblings from air conditioning and wind. The QC35s also have the best noise cancelling among wireless headphones priced less than $350.

The earcups and the headband share the same distinctive design like their predecessors. They are comfortable to wear for long listening sessions because of a snug fit and a cushioned feeling. The headphones can fold flat with hinges attached to each earcup. This makes them easy to fit into your bag or carryon.

The QC35s is the first Bose headphones to come with Google Assistant. This allows you to play music, alter volume, and headphones For running take calls hands-free. It also reads your calendar and chime for notifications. This feature can be activated through the app or with your voice. The headphones are compatible with iPhones and Android phones in wireless or wired mode.

3. Sennheiser IE800

The IE 800 S is an in-ear headphone made for audiophiles. They do not have any multimedia bells and whistles like hands-free microphones or media controls, instead they are pure sound converters that have an impedance of less than 17 ohms. This makes them fairly easy to drive using the amplifier circuits in most modern smartphone devices. They also avoid the use of multiple drivers and armatures typically found in other high-end in-ear headphones, instead opting for a single 7mm dynamic driver in each earpiece.

The result is an in-ear headphone set that is surprisingly powerful and user-friendly. The bass is enthralling, and the clarity and cleanliness of the sound exceeds those of other brands. The treble is an absolute delight for audiophiles.

They offer excellent isolation with very little noise to interrupt your listening experience and a shallow fit that results in minimal sound leakage. They are also extremely comfortable and can be placed comfortably in your ear without putting too much pressure on them. Sennheiser have taken steps to improve the tuning of this model as compared to its predecessor. This includes improvements such as a dual-chamber absorber system serving to minimise masking effects and the use of 7mm wide band drivers to ensure a superior level of clarity.

4. Sony XM5

Sony's flagship ANC headsets continue to be the top choice in our testing. The XM5s are a great choice for travel or work and come with a battery life that is impressive and sound quality that could easily compete with top headphones from this category like the Bose QC 45s or Bowers & Wilkins PX7s. They also come with outstanding noise cancellation that ramps up automatically in the event of an emergency to deal with airplanes and commuting voices.

They are excellent at reducing low-frequency noises like bus rumbles and mid- and treble-range noises like passenger chatter or the hum of a busy office. They're not as adept in removing high frequencies like the lower bass of Foo Fighters or treble from Miles Davis recordings. Their performance is better than other high-end headphones.

The XM5s are the most recent version of Sony's WH1000X series and boast an updated design and new features. They connect via Bluetooth 5.2 which supports audio profiles, dual device pairing, and seamless switching between mobile devices. You can also utilize the Sony Headphones App to customize your settings and alter features such as DSEE Extreme upscaling, which improves the audio quality but does not increase the listening volume.

5. Sony WH-1000XM2

The Sony WH1000XM2 is a re-release which offers a few enhancements over its predecessor, and still retains its status as one of the top headphones that block out noise. They're still gorgeous and feature impressive active noise cancellation, and have a broad range of audio-customization options in the app.

The WH-1000XM2s are comfortable enough to wear for long durations of time and the bass has a real weight to it. Mids are clear and detailed while the highs are bright and clear. The flat EQ makes them very flexible and adaptable to all kinds of music.

They're not without imperfections, however. The touch panel on right the earcup can be a bit annoying because it takes a long time to respond to commands. The headphones wireless beats work only when connected to a device that is paired. They are not compatible when listening via an accessory cable.

Despite their flaws, the WH-1000XM2s are worth the price. They are the top-rated headphones in the category and the first headphones in Trusted Reviews' history to receive back-to-back 5-star reviews.

6. Sony WH-1000XM3

Sony's WH1000XM3 headphones feature an elegant design, incredible noise cancelling, and an outstanding audio performance. These headphones for Running are ideal for those who commute or wants to hear music in the way it should be heard. The Sony Headphone Connect App allows you to customize the sound profile and audio processing.

The thinner headband and softer earcups make them more comfortable and lighter. The new Adaptive Sound Control feature automatically monitors your environment and selects the best audio profile for the situation. Additionally, they support high-resolution audio streaming using LDAC technology that delivers up to 990 kbps of true hi-fi listening.

The WH-1000XM3s are equipped with a cable that you can use to listen on wires and the battery will last for up to 30 hours when using noise cancellation. They can also be charged in only 10 minutes for five hours of playback.
