Choose by what matters most to you: ANC, battery life, audio codec or connectivity flexibility. What should you look for in a pair of headphones? Four things shape the experience. Noise cancellation depth, measured in decibels, decides how much of the world you can tune out. Driver size and audio codec, such as LDAC, shape detail and clarity. Battery life and fast charging decide how often you reach for the cable. Comfort and connectivity, including dual-device pairing and multiple play modes, round out daily use.
