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

Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless

The Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless are over-ear headphones that combine effective adaptive noise cancellation with a remarkably long 50-hour battery life. They offer a balanced feature set including aptX Adaptive support, touch controls, and a comfortable design, making them a solid mid-range choice, though their sound signature isn't the most thrilling in the class. Overall, they are a well-rounded package that delivers strong value for the price.

  • Pro:Excellent 50-hour battery life
  • Pro:Effective adaptive noise cancellation
  • Pro:Very comfortable for long listening sessions
  • Con:Sound quality lacks excitement compared to top rivals
  • Con:No multipoint Bluetooth connection
  • Con:No water resistance rating
