Best wireless over ear headphones

[hosedoctor]

Sorry if its been asked before,but im looking at getting the above. Are some brands louder than others? All the pairs i have have before just dont seem loud enough! Thinking of spending upto £500, but like anything just because there more money probably doesnt mean there better??

Depends on what you value in a pair of headphones.

My all rounder suggestion would be Bose QC35. Mine are brilliant for traveling and I think they sound good.

But some seem to complain about their sound signature (whatever that means... lol)

B&W PX seem to be the flavor of the moment
not that what hifi are the best but they won there award last year

the limiting factor is bluetooth a wired set at the equivalent price should always sound better

I am bias as I us B&W P5 s2 and B&W CM1 s2 speakers at home

Wireless quality depends largely on the codec being used - are we talking home wireless headphones which link to your hifi with a propietary radio link or Bluetooth ones for use with your smartphone on the move?

If Bluetooth then you need to mix your choice of phones and source carefully. You can get the best quality headphones which support AptX or LDAC but if your phone (eg an iPhone) only supports AAC then you’ll end up with a very st sounding SBC setup (the most basic Bluetooth audio standard). I use Sony WH-1000XM2 because they support all current standards, but they would sound significantly better with an LDAC supporting Walkman or android phone than with my iPhone 8+ Which only supports 250kbps AAC
