The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones are a strong contender to the Sony MX4 with thousands of five-star reviews. Bose is known for their sound and they know how to do it well.

The noise cancellation has been described as “undeniably good” with a “vibrant, lively character and well-balanced soundstage”. Design-wise, they’re extremely elegant and come in a variety of colours.

But the most impressive feature has to be the 4 in-built microphones that pick up and isolate your voice while on a phone call, while cancelling the noise around you. Clever, right?

What customers are saying: “Bose's best ever microphone system. The noise cancellation is out of this world.”

Apple AirPods Pro - From $295

Best feature: Spatial Audio feature, seamless connectivity and accessible design.

While Apple is arguably the biggest tech brand in the world, these AirPods are popular in their own right.

Aside from their sleek, white design and active noise cancellation, they are packed with impressive features.

The new Apple AirPods include a sophisticated Spatial Audio feature with dynamic head tracking creating cinema-like surround sound.

They also feature Adaptive EQ which automatically tunes music to the shape of your ear. If you’re worried about the fit, don’t be. You have the choice of three soft, tapered silicone tips for a customisable fit.

With over 24 hours of battery life and instant connectivity to other Apple devices, it’s no surprise they’re as popular as ever.

What customers are saying: “Amazing product with awesome surround sound. Worth paying the extra money for the excellent quality.”
