Noise-cancelling headphones have become essential for commuters, remote workers and frequent travellers. The two biggest names — Sony WH-1000XM5 and Bose QuietComfort 45 — both offer excellent ANC, but which is right for you?
Sony WH-1000XM5 wins on audio quality and features, with LDAC support, multipoint connection and an industry-leading 30-hour battery. It’s our top pick if sound quality is your priority.
Bose QC45 offers a slightly more comfortable fit for all-day wear and Bose’s signature balanced sound signature. If comfort matters more than features, Bose is the better choice.
Both are available now on Amazon UK — see our Headphones & Audio category for current prices.
