ANC Headphones

These are the best ANC Headphones on the market.

Apple AirPods Max 2

An excellent all-around headphone. Great sound quality, improved mics, and excellent transparency mode.

Apple AirPods Max Gen 1 (USB-C)

Very similar to the Gen 2, just slightly worse mics and ANC performance (but it's still really good!).

Bose QuietComfort Ultra2nd Gen

A super comfortable headphone with excellent ANC and great mic performance. If I was getting my mom a pair of headphones, I'd get her these.

Sony WH-1000XM6

If you want the best ANC money can buy, the XM6 are it. The voice isolation on the microphones for calls in noisy environments is also super impressive.

Sennheiser HDB 630

Audiophiles around the world love these. They sound great, but mediocre ANC performance and materials mean that I struggle to recommend these for most people.
