Best Premium Headphones - 2022

This is the one stop detailed list for you to find the Most High-End Premium Headphones.

This is a complete and exhaustive list of the most extreme and best premium headphones out there. Given price is not a constraint, we will narrow down our list to the best sounding, noise cancelling and comforting headphones for World Class Experience.

1.Sony WH-1000XM5

The first headphone in the list is Sony’s WH-1000XM5. It is one of the best premium headphones available out there. Dropped weeks before writing this article, this had a lot of hype due to its predecessor, the M4. Typical of Sony, the design is simple, elegant but not functional. The folding capabilities of the M4 is gone, yet really comfortable over a long period of time.

This time a total of 8 microphones are present and the already good noise cancellation is taken up a notch. True to Sony’s signature, the V1 chip embedded in the headphone does its job fairly well and the sound output is excellent. 30 hours of battery life is good and multi connection support is a real charm to have. Overall, an excellent headphone recommended if phone calls are not a priority but sound quality is.

2.Apple AirPods Max

The second headphone in the list is Apple AirPods Max. It is one of the best premium headphones for call quality. In an Apple way of doing things, the design is simple, elegant and functional. The weight of the headphone is mere 384 grams making extremely comfortable over a long period of usage. This noise cancelling machine is a beast at cancelling maximum noise from the background. Typical of Apple adding chips everywhere, the H1 chip embedded in the headphone does its job fairly well and hence the sound output is excellent. 20 hours of battery life is good, but not great. Multi connection support can be felt only if you are part of “Apple Ecosystem”. Overall, an excellent headphone recommendation if you are already part of the ecosystem.

3. Sony WH-1000XM4

The third in the list is again a Sony, The WH-1000XM4. It is one iteration old but still has its own value. Just like its predecessor and successor, the design is simple, elegant and functional, yes, it is foldable unlike M5. The weight of the headphone is mere 255 grams making it extremely comfortable for long calls, meetings or any other tasks. This old yet extremely good headphone is a king at noise cancellation. Not as good as Apple or M5, it is really good for its current retail price. This machine boasts HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 in the headphone does its job fairly well which helps in noise cancellation. 30 hours of battery life is good. Multi connection support has been improved over and over with software updates. Overall, an excellent premium headphone in its range.

Overall, a good premium headphone in its range.

5. Sennheiser HD 560s

The last in the list is Sennheiser HD 560s. Unlike most of the headphones in the list, the design is funky but functional. The weight of the headphone is around 600 grams making it heavy in comparison to other headphones, still not a huge problem for extended meetings or calls.
