Wireless headphones: how to choose the right noise cancelling?

Active noise cancellation (ANC) has become a key factor when choosing wireless headphones, especially for commuting or working in an open-plan office.

Check the battery life advertised with ANC turned on: it can drop by up to 30% compared to battery life without noise cancellation on some models.

Long-term comfort depends directly on the weight of the headphones and the quality of the memory-foam ear cushions.

For sports, choose in-ear headphones with at least an IPX4 rating, resistant to sweat.
