For the best music possible? Check out Sony’s WH1000XM4. A pair of headphones for audiophiles, it has almost everything to offer, complete with a wide soundstage, well-balanced sound profile and a comfortable fit.
Features:
The Sony WH1000XM4 generation has improved noise-cancelling technology from its predecessor. This pair is now fitted with thicker ear cups to offer better sound isolation.
There are also features to further enhance convenience such as a seamless connectivity process. Not to mention, when it comes to sound isolation, there's an improved situational and conversational awareness mode. This feature lets ambient sounds pass through without you needing to take off your headphone.
Not forgetting, the headphones have a Speak-to-Chat feature that pauses your music whenever it detects that you’re talking.
Performance:
The headphones are rated to offer 30 hours of battery life and fast charging capabilities - you can achieve 5 hours of usage with just 10 minutes of charging time. Sound quality, as expected from a Sony audio gadget, is pleasant for most users. However, battery life did deteriorate by a bit from the previous generation.

Although succeeded by another successor, the Sony Headphones WH-1000XM3 is still a good buy due to its lower price entry and similar features to the newer WH-1000XM4.
Features:
This pair of headphones is one of the industry’s top-notch audio equipment, featuring Adaptive Sound Control that offers advanced noise cancelling to eliminate external noises from outside, letting users give full concentration into their music.
Moreover, with the SENSE ENGINE built-in, it’ll automatically adjust ambient sounds based on their surrounding settings, allowing users to be more aware of their surroundings without needing to remove their headphones.
Not forgetting; thanks to its 40mm drivers and the DSEE HX™ as well as LDAC technology, users can play high-resolution files if they wish to.
Performance:
A quick comparison with the newer WH-1000XM4; the WH-1000XM3 has a more manual connectivity process, less accurate audio and less power when it comes to noise-cancelling.
But the WH-1000XM3 is able to support LDAC, AAC and aptX, whereas the WH-1000XM4 doesn't support aptX. So aside from budget, if you're fine with that bit, the WH-1000XM3 is for you.
On a very tight budget? You cannot look over the Sony WH-CH510. Despite its low entry price, it has solid-sounding audio and long-lasting battery life. They certainly offer the best possible performance for an amazingly affordable price.
Features:
Being able to deliver 35 hours' worth of playback time, these headphones can be used all day long wirelessly. Its decent 30mm audio drivers also means it can churn out dynamic sounding audio for a more lively and energetic music-listening experience.
Performance:
Users are amazed by the sound quality as it offers a wonderfully rich audio profile that’s well-balanced in both the lows and highs.
One thing you may not want to consider the headphones for is their feeble construction. Though this is easy to turn a blind eye to for some users due to its affordable price.

The battery is rated at 12 hours long. If you don't want to charge, you can opt to connect via 3.5mm as well. Thanks to the inclusion of two dual microphones on the headphones (which are hidden), the headphones are said to be able to pick up your voice clearly, though there's a tendency to pick up minor background noises.
In terms of music playing, the headphones are surprising in their delivery, being able to deliver crispness to every beat. Bass may tend to go deeper than it should, but otherwise are quite balanced for most of the time.
