Best noise cancelling headphones

Best Noise Cancelling Headphones of 2017 

Sometimes listening to the sounds of nature or the sounds of the people around you can be an enlightening experience, but sometimes it isn’t. As people who ride subways everyday, we know how necessary it is to block out the world sometimes just to keep your sanity—and hearing—intact. 
Besides sound quality, a good pair of noise cancelling headphones do two things: provide a comfortable fit for extended use, and also accurately cancel out unwanted outside noise. Without getting too technical, Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) is achieved by using built-in microphones that pick up what is going on around you. The headphones then produce their own out-of-phase sound waves that destroys outside noise.
With so many options out there (and a lot of them quite expensive), how do you know which one is the right choice? For that, we enlisted the aid of the audiophiles over at our partner site, Sound Guys. They do a phenomenal job of diving in deep into the reasons why each noise-cancelling headphone on this list is worthy of your hard earned dollar and we highly recommend giving their full in-depth guide a look.
That said, some of you don’t want to dive so deep, you just want to get to the meat of the question: WHAT SHOULD I BUY. And so this TL;DR version of Sound Guy’s guide was created just for you!

The best noise cancelling headphones are the Sony WH-1000X M2

Be sure to check out the full review!
The Sony WH-1000 MX have great sound quality, impressive ANC, are comfortable, have decent battery life, offer an insanely well-featured app, and cost $50 less than their main competitor. If you're keeping score, Sony runs the table against Bose on this one.
Why the Sony WH-1000X M2 wins over the competition:
  • Superior sound quality over any other ANC wireless headphone
  • Impressive noise cancelling on par with brands like Bose
  • It’s $50 cheaper than their main competitor, the Bose QC 35 II
  • An amazing app that lets you tune bass, granularity adjust the equalizer, and more
Sony WH-1000X M2: Other notable traits and considerations
  • Pressing on the right cup of their ear brings up your voice assistant of choice, with support for Android and iPhone
  • The MDR-1000X M2 offer high-bitrate listening, have great range, excellent features, decent battery life, and are comfortable to boot. In our minds, there’s no contest for this year’s crown.
