Best Wireless Headphones?

Trojan Horse · 15 Mar 2017 at 00:17

Hi guys

I'm looking for really good wireless headphones around the £300 mark. I want the quality to best my Fidelio X1s.

So far I have tried the Bose QC 35 and I believe the more expensive Sony MDR-1000X competes with it - what's best?

Thanks!

Apparently the Sony MDR-1000X bests the Q35 in both sound quality and noise cancelling, so I would imagine it is the one to beat.

there were problems a few weeks back with the bose firmware update - not sure if it's been resolved or not... as a side note I read a post somewhere saying the bose were not good as a gaming headset as they did something like disable stereo if you are chatting. something to worth checking on any future purpose.

i'm looking at the Bowers & Wilkins P7 currently - but no noise reduction.

You looking for Bluetooth wireless or just wireless in general? I bought some Sennheiser HDR-220s a while ago and they sound pretty good.

They're wireless but for home since they use a base station connected to your hifi/pc or whatever.

I can confirm that to my ears at least the Sony's sound better than the Bose.
