BEST WIRELESS HEADPHONES (ON/OVER-EAR)

SONY WH-1000XM2 $499 | sony.com.au

Sony’s successor to the WH-1000 snuck into 2017 to add some sweet new features to what was already a very competent pair of wireless ANC cans. An altitude sensor adds the ability to customise your ANC for flight cabin pressure and software-based motion detection means you can configure the level of passthrough audio background noise in various states. While the noise cancelling is premium, the WH-1000XM2s stand-out feature is audio quality, adding compatibility for Sony’s LDAC high-res wireless audio format and holding on to AptX.
