What reviewers said

Alienware Pro Wireless

Its leatherette pads and moderate 310g weight aim for comfort during long sessions, while the 2.4GHz wireless option and USB-C charging add versatility for desk and on-the-go use. Sound quality is generally strong, but the microphone performance and a single SBC codec limit keep it from being a flawless all-rounder.

  • Pro:Excellent battery life, especially with ANC off
  • Pro:Comfortable leatherette ear pads for long wear
  • Pro:Active noise cancellation and transparency mode included
  • Con:Microphone quality is underwhelming for the price
  • Con:Only SBC codec support limits high-res wireless audio
  • Con:No multipoint connection for seamless device switching

Anker Soundcore Space One

The Anker Soundcore Space One is a budget-friendly over-ear wireless headphone that combines adaptive active noise cancellation with a long-lasting battery and support for high-resolution LDAC audio. Its lightweight, foldable build and comfortable ear cups make it a practical travel companion, while the included wired option adds versatility. Though its sound is balanced and competent for the price, it doesn't aim to rival premium audiophile models.

  • Pro:Adaptive ANC with multiple modes
  • Pro:Up to 55 hours of battery life (40 with ANC)
  • Pro:Supports LDAC for high-quality wireless audio
  • Con:Sound quality is decent but not exceptional
  • Con:No water resistance rating
  • Con:Plastic build may feel less premium
