Good tidings audiophiles! I am sure most (if not all) of you have used headphones before, and I imagine many of you use them in your daily lives as well. As an avid headphones user myself, I have used a myriad of different brands and types, including some of the more exotic styles!

In this article, I will be briefly talking about Bluetooth headphones in particular, and what my experiences have been with the ones I have used. I will also go over the pros of the headphones I used for the purpose of this blog, and will be including two honourable mentions as well!

But first, I wanted to tell you why having a pair of good ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) Bluetooth headphones is so crucial in this day and age, and it all comes down to your day-to-day life. If, like me, you are someone who enjoys a daily walk or prefers to take public transport, you will know that the world can be rather noisy, with so many other people and vehicles going here, there and everywhere! So listening to your favourite tracks whilst out on your business for the day can be difficult, and sometimes unenjoyable. With a pair of high quality noise cancelling headphones, all of those issues I mentioned above would all but disappear, allowing your music to shine a lot brighter and clearer.

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e

The first pair of headphones that I trialed whilst writing this blog were the brand new Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2e Bluetooth ANC headphones. I was simply blown away by them. They also come with a USB-C to USB-C cable if you want to make use of the internal DAC, by-passing the Bluetooth element entirely! Below you can find a list of pros for the headphones!

Pros

⦁ The B&Ws were quite comfortable to wear, providing a nice tight fit around my head. Meaning, of course, that they wouldn't slip/shake off!

⦁ The ANC works extremely well to mute the outside world, making the music I was listening to whilst out and about really able to sing.

⦁ The headphones have a very tight and punchy bass, which worked fantastically for the music I was listening to at the time, whilst still providing clear vocals and beautiful highs.

⦁ Headphones can be customised for your listening pleasure via use of the Bowers & Wilkins app!

Focal Bathys

Next up I tried the Focal Bathys, and I was thoroughly impressed by them! Same as the PX7 S2e headphones, these also come equipped with a USB-C to USB-C cable to make use of the fantastic inbuilt DAC.

Pros

⦁ The Focals were very comfortable to wear, providing a good balance of a tight fit and comfort.

⦁ The ANC was simply phenomenal, shutting almost everything away other than the occasional loud car. Combined with the tight and comfortable fit, it helped me to beter focus on my music.

⦁ The overall sound was quite fantastic in all, not too much bass whilst providing a fantastic amount of detail to everything I was listening to.

⦁ Using the Focal & Naim app, I was able to almost fully customise my listening experience. From changing the EQ to whatever suited my needs and desires, all the way to creating a sound profile perfect for my hearing capabilities, boosting any frequencies that my ears may have struggled with previously.

Honourable Mentions

Now, through the course of me trying out these different headphones, there are a couple that I wish I had the opportunity to trial, however I was limited to what we had in store at the time. However, it is still worth mentioning these brilliant headphones.

Sennheiser Accentum

First on the list are the newly-released Sennheiser Accentum headphones. These have been receiving very good reviews online, and being Sennheiser they are bound to be good value for your money!

Once again sporting Bluetooth and ANC, you can almost guarantee that your day to day activities would run smoothly without any distractions!

Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 4

The other pair of headphones I wanted to mention are the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 4. These aren't as new as the others, however they are still reviewed and regarded as some of the best Bluetooth and ANC headphones currently available.

And that's all from me today! If you are on the hunt for a decent pair of Bluetooth ANC headphones for your day-to-day activities, then I consider the four mentioned to be some of the very best!

If you are on the market for something else though, or you have more questions about the headphones themselves, don't hesitate to give us a call!
