In this ranking I have collected 10 best over-ear headphones for 2022. The range of on-ear headphones on the market is huge and can confuse even an experienced music lover. If the requirements for sound quality are individual, depending on musical preferences, then ergonomics, ease of use and high-quality sound insulation are important for everyone. Based on this, we, after consulting with experts in this niche and having studied user reviews, compiled the TOP. A variety of headphones got into it — universal and sharpened for a specific style of music, wired and wireless, with and without additional functionality. Our goal was to cover the interests of a variety of target audiences, so that every music lover could find his own version among the TOP-list participants. We hope we succeeded.

2022 Over-Ear Headphone Ranking Table

Marshall Mid ANC

Marshall-Mid-ANC

Characteristics

  • active noise cancellation (ANC)
  • connection: Bluetooth
  • number of microphones: 2
  • frequency response: 20-20000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 99.3 dB
  • working time: 20 h

The first place is occupied by headphones from the English brand Marshall Model Mid ANC. The manufacturer took his successful Mid Bluetooth model, modified it a little, added noise reduction and got Mid ANC headphones. As a result, they turned out to be almost perfect:

  • detailed balanced sound without emphasis on certain frequencies in the range from 20 to 20,000 Hz;
  • AptX support, sound quality over cable and Bluetooth is practically the same;
  • active noise cancellation;
  • 2 microphones in the case + 1 on the cable (when using a cable connection);
  • autonomy up to 30 hours without noise reduction and up to 20 hours with it. It will take 3 hours to charge;
  • high-quality assembly materials (metal, leatherette, microfiber).

Why did I call these headphones almost perfect? Yes, because users complain about inconvenience during prolonged use, some still prefer the classic round shape of the bowls rather than the firm square with rounded corners, and a few more people blame this model for a poorly implemented control system. The proprietary joystick control KNOB really takes time to learn and adapt. The rest is subjective and can hardly be called significant shortcomings. Therefore, the model is in 1st place in the rating. Price — 120$.

  • Price-quality ratio.
  • Design.
  • Good materials and build quality of headphones and complete cables.
  • Convenient joystick control.
  • Sound quality.
  • Aptx support.
  • Good microphone.
  • Autonomy.
  • Supports connecting a second headphone with an audio cable.
  • Bag-case included.
  • No multipoint.
  • Not very comfortable for extended use.
  • Some users do not like the type of control.

The best model in the ranking in terms of price and quality ratio. There are no extra bells and whistles, but there is excellent sound and active noise cancellation. If you need additional features, we recommend that you pay attention to the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless. And if you are trying to save money, but at the same time sound quality is your main requirement, take a closer look at the Audio-Technica ATH-S200BT.

Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless

Sennheiser-Momentum-3-Wireless

Characteristics

  • active noise cancellation (ANC)
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0
  • number of microphones: 4
  • frequency response: 6-22000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 99 dB
  • working time: 17 h

The second line of the TOP is occupied by Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless. Premium headphones with detailed, balanced sound across all frequencies, with active noise cancellation, high-quality microphone and smart functionality. At first glance, they are bulky and heavy — 305 grams. But at the first «contact» they are very comfortable and almost imperceptible on the head. The secret as materials is metal and genuine leather.

The headboard is wide, but not voluminous, which makes it easier to find a comfortable position for the headphones on the head. The cups are not swivel, they fold inward, but the ear cushions themselves are removable. The headphones work Bluetooth v4.1 with NFC pairing, Aux and Type C cable. Both cables are included. There is a nuance: Aux output jack — 2.5mm. The sound quality over the cable is impeccable, over Bluetooth is just as good.

The existing noise reduction works in two modes — active and «transparent» hearing (switched by a lever on the right bowl). It is possible to fine-tune through the application by choosing 1 of 3 available modes — maximum noise reduction, anti-wind and anti-pressure. They show themselves well and 4 built-in microphones: You will be heard even from the noisiest place.

Of the smart functions, there is a notification of a call or SMS to your phone by vibration, a pause in playback when you remove the headphones from your head. Separately, it is worth noting the functionality of the application for a smartphone. In addition to additional settings for active noise reduction, there is an equalizer, the ability to enable / disable smart pause, see the battery charge, adjust the language of voice messages of a smart assistant. To call it, there is a separate button on the right bowl. There are also 3 main functional buttons for controlling playback and volume. The autonomy of the model reaches 17 hours with noise reduction turned on. Charging will take about 3 hours. The fast charging function is not provided. .

  • Sound quality.
  • Materials and build quality.
  • Active noise cancellation with multiple modes.
  • Comfortable fit.
  • Connection variability (Bluetooth, Aux and Type C).
  • Bluetooth 5.0.
  • The presence of NFC.
  • Multi connection (up to 8 devices).
  • Smart functionality.
  • Autonomy.
  • 2 years warranty.
  • Price.
  • Dimensions.
  • AUX jack 2.5 mm.
  • No auto-off. To turn off, turn the bowls inward.
  • The choice of the noise reduction mode is only through the application.
  • Minor software bugs.

A great option for music lovers and audiophiles. They sound great with any type of connection, although the sound is brighter over the cable. Identified shortcomings are, rather, nit-picking a premium product. The only important nuance is the answer to the question, are you ready to pay that kind of money for headphones? If not, pay attention to Mid ANC. They are half the price, while you will not lose sound quality. Saving 15,000 on smart features is quite appropriate.

Beyerdynamic Aventho Wireless

Beyerdynamic-Aventho-Wireless

Characteristics

  • supported codecs: aptX, aptX HD, AAC
  • connection: Bluetooth 4.2
  • emitter type: dynamic
  • frequency response: 10-40000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 105dB/mW
  • working time: 30 h

The top three is closed by Beyerdynamic Aventho Wireless. The most expensive model in the ranking. Costs. Provides balanced surround sound in the range 10 to 40,000 Hz without emphasis on specific frequencies. Supports the latest aptX HD, AAC codecs. Some experts lack high frequencies when connected via Bluetooth. Connecting by cable saves the situation. There is no noise reduction, which is inappropriate at this price tag.

Touch control, the panel is located on the right bowl. On the opposite side is the only physical button responsible for turning on / off and pairing. Also on the left bowl — 3.5 mm jack and Type C for charging. With autonomy, everything is fine — up to 30 hours. There are no questions about the quality of workmanship: the main part is made of metal, which speaks in favor of reliability, the ear pads are covered with high-quality leatherette. The design is not bad, but I would not call it youthful. The model is rather for music lovers of middle and older age.

  • The quality of materials and assembly.
  • Sound quality.
  • Possibility of wired connection.
  • Support for aptX HD codec.
  • Convenient touch control.
  • Autonomy.
  • Ability to sync with multiple devices (up to 8).
  • Price.
  • Some users lack high frequencies.
  • No active noise cancellation.
  • Lithium polymer battery.

The model is good in almost everything, but the price tag for it is clearly too high. There are good models on the market with good sound and active noise reduction at half the price, for example, Mid ANC, and with almost the same price tag, but with extended functionality — Momentum 3 Wireless. And this model, rather, is designed for respectability, suitable for respectable middle-aged people with a constant high income.

Beats Solo Pro

Beats-Solo-Pro

Characteristics

  • active noise cancellation (ANC)
  • connection: Bluetooth 4.0
  • emitter type: dynamic
  • frequency response: 20-20000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 114 dB
  • working time: 22h

In fourth place is the Beats Solo Pro. Premium Apple product. Traditionally, the emphasis is on the bass. Medium and low frequencies cause complaints from users, while the sound quality rating on Yandex. Market — 4.7 out of 5. The problem is partially solved by active noise reduction, which also works in transparency mode — you can hear the surrounding sounds without removing your headphones. Noise canceling shows itself well in the mode of operation of the headset: 2 microphones work perfectly — the interlocutor hears you, even if you are in a noisy place. In terms of autonomy, the model is one of the best in the ranking — up to 40 hours without noise reduction and up to 22 hours with it.

Charges with the Lightning cable that comes with the kit. Supported fast-fuel charging technology — 10 minutes is enough for 3 hours of work. Management on the left bowl, it is implemented using buttons hidden under the panel. Noise cancellation is activated by pressing a button built into the body of the right ear cup. There is no on/off button. Headphones turn on when deployed. Some experts and users find the controls inconvenient — the buttons could be duplicated on two bowls, and the off button could still be added, because sometimes users do not fold the headphones, and then the battery power is wasted. Otherwise, there are no complaints about ergonomics, the headband is made of metal, the ear pads and the headboard are made of high-quality leatherette, they sit tightly on the head, and are tight for some users. Feature of the model — design. Headphones look modern and even futuristic, available in 7 colors — from classic black to feminine red. .

  • Design.
  • Good materials and build quality.
  • Autonomy.
  • Sound quality.
  • 2 built-in microphones.
  • Active noise cancellation.
  • Transparency mode.
  • Fast charging.
  • Price.
  • Drop in the midrange.
  • Some users put pressure on their ears.
  • Can’t be wired.
  • You cannot connect to multiple devices at the same time.
  • Not very convenient control.
  • The sound of buttons is heard when pressed.

With all the pluses, the headphones are imperfect. Music lovers lack balance in sound, and they put pressure on the ears of those with large heads. All this can be justified by the features of the form factor, or you can consider other models that, according to experts and users, are more comfortable, sound better and even cheaper. It’s about the Marshall Mid ANC

Audio Technica ATH-S200BT

Audio-Technica-ATH-S200BT

Characteristics

  • impedance: 32 ohm
  • connection: Bluetooth 4.1
  • emitter type: dynamic
  • frequency response: 5-32000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 102dB/mW
  • working time: 40 h

The fifth line in the TOP is occupied by Audio-Technica ATH-S200BT headphones. Relatively inexpensive full-size headphones from a well-known Japanese brand, popular among music lovers for at least three reasons:

  • ergonomics. Weight — only 160 grams, matte plastic with leatherette on the ear cushions and headboard, swivel bowls;
  • versatility. 40 mm dynamic drivers and balanced sound settings allow you to enjoy music of any genre;
  • autonomy — up to 40 hours. This is not just a manufacturer’s statement, it is a fact verified by dozens of experts and thousands of users. True, the headphones charge for a long time — about 4 hours.

The shortcomings of the model that skeptics highlight are a very modest design, a rigid bowl connection bracket, the lack of noise reduction and the quality of the microphone, but we do not consider them critical given the price. The first is subjective – many people like the minimalism of the brand, besides, the model is offered in 3 colors. The second is rather a problem of individual anatomy. Thirdly, for budget headphones it’s not a minus at all. In this price segment, you will not find high-quality noise-canceling headphones. The fourth problem follows from the 3rd, and nothing can be done about it. .

  • Price.
  • Lungs.
  • Swivel ear pads.
  • Build quality.
  • Sound quality.
  • Autonomy.
  • Some users put pressure on their ears.
  • The quality of the plastic is average, the shackle broke for several users within six months of use.
  • The sound quality decreases at maximum volume.
  • The control buttons are small.
  • There is no cable connection option.
  • There is no indication.

The model has a lot of disadvantages, but they are subjective and hardly characterize the quality of the product by 100%. The main function is high-quality sound reproduction — headphones are performed. Considering also an acceptable price tag, we give this model 5th place and recommend it for purchase with one condition — be sure to try it on: for people with a big head, discomfort during use is inevitable. So we recommend to evaluate another inexpensive model — Pioneer SE-MJ553BT. They are more convenient and support Multipoint, cost more, the weak side is the design. In operation, more expensive models from the TOP-3 rating will be more convenient.

Sony MDR-XB550AP

Sony-MDR-XB550AP

Characteristics

  • cable length: 1.2 m
  • connection: Bluetooth 4.1
  • emitter type: dynamic
  • frequency response: 5-22000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 102dB/mW
  • connector: mini jack 3.5 mm

In sixth place is the Sony MDR-XB550AP. Budget wired headphones designed for a youth audience. Look stylish, 5 colors to choose from, are inexpensive. They are assembled with high quality — a metal headband, pleasant tactile leatherette, a flat wire that is not prone to tangling, no backlash, they sit comfortably on the head.

In terms of sound, the advantage is given to low frequencies and basses to the detriment of mids and highs. A normal option for unpretentious modern music. Passive noise isolation is not bad. There is a microphone on the cable, its quality is mediocre. .

  • Price.
  • Design.
  • Good materials and build quality.
  • Ergonomics.
  • Bass.
  • Muted sound.
  • Microphone quality.
  • The cable transmits mechanical noise to the headphones.
  • In the cold, the cable dubeet.
  • Uncomplicated construction.
  • Removable cable.

The main advantage of the model is the low price tag. The bass sound is muffled. Designed for a youth audience that prefers modern club music. If your musical tastes are different or wider, I advise you to choose wireless — Audio-Technica or models with a hybrid connection Beats EP On-Ear. They are several times better in terms of sound balance, but cost 5, more.

Beats EP On-Ear

Beats-EP-On-Ear

Characteristics

  • cable length: 1.2 m
  • ability to adjust the volume
  • emitter type: dynamic
  • microphone: yes
  • design: overhead (closed)
  • connector: mini jack 3.5 mm

Seventh place is occupied by Beats EP On-Ear headphones. The purpose of these headphones is to listen to modern club music. In this case, the model can be called more universal. During its development, Beats refused to oversaturate the sound with bass. They are, and they prevail, but behind them you can hear confident tops and bottoms, only the middle is frankly overwhelmed. In terms of functionality, everything is identical to the competitor — a flat cable, however, with a straight plug, and a microphone on it for use as a headset. His work Yandex users. Market was rated at 4.8 points, and we agree with them: compared to a competitor, the advantage is obvious. In terms of noise isolation, the models are on an equal footing.

The design is recognizable, but in my subjective opinion, it is no worse than the Sony MDR-XB550AP. But the price tag of the Beats EP On-Ear has become a decisive factor in the distribution of positions in the ranking between these two models. Price in for headphones with a narrow musical focus is too high.

  • Design.
  • Ergonomics.
  • The sound is not oversaturated with bass.
  • Microphone quality.
  • Price.
  • Removable cable.
  • Uncomplicated design.

A good wired model, which could be in the TOP-5, if not for the price. Overpaying for a brand in this case is stupidity. For undemanding users, the Sony MDR-XB550AP is enough, but music lovers will not be pleased with any of these options. I recommend them to look at the leader of the rating.
