Our quick take
- Best noise-cancelling headphones: The best ‘phones to block out external sounds The best Bluetooth headphones: Top on-ear or over-ear wireless headphones
Out of the packaging the first thing you may come to realise is that there’s no battery included. You’ll need to buy a single AAA in order for the noise-cancelling option to become active. Many manufacturers don’t package products with batteries due to potential acid leakage, but we still reckon there ought to be one in the box.
