The most eagerly-anticipated headphones of recent times, the Sony WH-1000XM4 succeed the Bose-baiting, Sennheiser-slaying, What Hi-Fi? Award-winning XM3s, one of the most popular pairs of headphones on the planet. Now all you need to do is find some AirPods Max stock. There’s no denying that they cost a lot more than typical products in this class but, if sound quality is king, we think they’re worth it. They will work with non-Apple products using standard Bluetooth 5.0, but you’ll miss out on many of their unique features, such as spatial audio and Siri voice control. Unsurprisingly, you do need an iPhone or iPad in order to get the best out of the AirPods Max. In fact, their authenticity, detail, crispness and spaciousness elevate their audio quality so far above the previous best in the wireless noise-cancelling class (the Sony WH-1000XM4, below) that the comparison starts to become a little redundant, and you instead begin to consider them alongside proper hi-fi products. Why? Because for Apple fans they're quite simply the best performing wireless headphones you can buy – and not by a small margin. Yet they sit atop this highly competitive Best Buy page as the best over-ear headphones on the market. And yes, their packaging omits an audio cable and wall charger. Yes, they come with an ugly, arguably pointless case.
Yes, they're expensive (prohibitively so for many).
