1. Bose QuietComfort QC35 Over-Ear Wireless Headphones – 20/40HRS, ANC

The Bose QuietComfort gets better each generation. Here is Bose’s flagship headphone with best-in-class noise cancellation and long battery life in wireless or wired mode.

World-class noise cancellation makes quiet sound quieter and music sound better
Volume-optimized EQ for balanced audio performance at any volume
Wireless convenience, with easy Bluetooth and NFC pairing aided by voice prompts
20-hour battery life per charge; up to 40 hours in wired mode
Noise-rejecting dual-microphone system for clear calls (hands-free) even in windy environments

2. Libratone Q Adapt On-Ear Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation – 20HRS, ANC

Libratone, the Danish company first with an impressive line of Bluetooth speakers is now sinking their teeth into headphones. Equally impressive, the Libratone Q Adapt On-Ear Wireless Bluetooth headphone does not only have super long battery life between charge of over 20 hours but offers active noise cancellation. It comes with the familiar touch interface found on their line of speakers that lets you control your play back (play, pause, change track), activate hush function or increase and decrease the volume.

The active noise cancelling function or what Libratone like to call CityMix is adjustable, you can choose to let the conversations in if you wish or cancel out the noise entirely with a touch of a button. And, should you run out of charge on a super super long haul, you can use the wire to continue listening to your tunes. It takes only 3 hours to fully charge up again and is capable of connecting to another set over Bluetooth to enjoy the same music together. That is not all, you also get a free companion app to download to fully customise your experience.

If you have the speaker, the palm over the bird logo gesture better known as “Hush” works here too. If you need to listen a train/plane announcements or wanted a quick conversation, use the gesture to let sound in. The headphone performs very well if not better than the Bose QuietComfort QC35 if you prefer on-ear headphones instead of a over-ear set.
