Sony WH-CH520 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones - £33.50
Kicking off our list is a pair of Sony headphones that are an Amazon's Choice product and boast over 20,800 ratings. The WH-CH520 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones offer up to 50 hours of battery life and have a handy quick charge feature, with a 3-minute charge giving you 1.5 hours of listening time.
The headphones are available in black, beige, blue and white, and offer ultimate comfort thanks to its adjustable headband, soft earpads and lightweight design. They have a Digital Sound Enhancement Engine that restores your music with high frequency and gradual fade out sound for a 'more authentic performance'. You can even personalise the sound of the wireless headphones by using the Sony Headphones Connect app.
The wireless headphones can be controlled with your voice and you can easily answer calls with one click of a button, so there's no need to take your phone out of your pocket. They have a high-quality built-in microphone and noise suppression processing that collects sound and reduces ambient noise during calls.
One shopper who awarded the Sony headphones five stars commented: "These headphones are excellent for the price, as they are high quality. The battery life is exceptional, I bought these more than a month ago and I have not had to charge it once." They did, however, go on to say: "The noise cancellation is of high standard, but they do not block out all surrounding noise, so please bear this in mind if you are specifically looking for noise cancelling headphones."

Soundcore Anker Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones - £39.99
These are the headphones with the most reviews on our list, with nearly 70,000 people reviewing them to date. They're also an Amazon's Choice product, and although they offer slightly less battery life (40 hours) than the Sony pair when in wireless active noise cancellation mode, the Soundcore Anker headphones will provide you with an impressive 60-hour playtime when in standard mode.
That's not all, if you can only give the foldable headphones a quick five-minute charge, you'll get four hours of listening in return. The active noise cancelling headphones have memory foam ear cups and can produce Hi-Res sound with 100% stronger bass while reducing ambient noise by up to 90%.
While some buyers found the black Soundcore Anker Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones made the bass 'a little too heavy', one delighted customer gave them full marks and said: "The noise cancelling is excellent, the sound quality is great and the headphones are comfortable enough to wear all day. Worn for an entire flight with no problems. Battery also lasts very well."

Bose QuietComfort SC Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - £189.89
The most popular Bose headphones on Amazon are the QuietComfort SC Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones that offer up to 24 hours of battery life and come with a handy case. They have two useful modes - Quiet and Aware - that let you toggle between full noise cancelling or full awareness of your surroundings for seamless sound control.
If comfort is your priority, these headphones may be the option for you, as they have plush ear cup cushions and a secure yet comfortable padded band that gently keeps the over-ear headphones in place. Another appealing feature that makes the Bose headphones stand out is its high-fidelity audio and Adjustable EQ that puts you in control of the bass, mid-range and treble to personalise the sound to your taste.
You can 'seamlessly' stay connected to all of your favourite devices using the multi-point toggle feature, which allows you to switch devices without disconnecting and reconnecting each time. Although there are less reviews for the Bose QuietComfort SC Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones on Amazon compared to the other ones in our list, they have an impressive overall score of 4.8 out of five, and over 1,000 people have purchased them in the past month.
One happy shopper gave them full marks and said: "I wish I had invested in these headphones sooner. You know if you're buying Bose, you are buying a quality item. The sound is fantastic, which you can adjust through the Bose app, and the comfort of the headphones which do sit nicely over the ears is very good indeed. The only thing I will say is the protective case they come with is more of a soft shell cloth bag."

Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones - £199.99
Another pair of Sony headphones has left Amazon and its shoppers impressed thanks to its 30 hours of battery life and the fact they're optimised for Alexa and Google Assistant. The headphones are available in black, midnight blue, and silver, and support ideal Resolution Audio, with even compressed music files being upscaled using evolved DSEE Extreme technology.
The Sony headphones have a handy Speak-to-Chat feature that automatically pauses playback when you start a conversation, and can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. The Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones are an Amazon's Choice product and have nearly 20,000 reviews.
One customer rated them five stars and wrote: "They look great and are very comfortable - I can wear them for hours before feeling any mild discomfort. The battery life is great and they sound amazing. The noise cancelling is really good, the room will go silent when it's active." They did, however, go on to say: "They have some trouble [blocking out] wind, but other than that, they're great."

KVIDIO Bluetooth Headphones - £16.99
These may be the cheapest pair of headphones on our list, but they still pack a punch. They're labelled an Amazon's Choice product and have over 7,300 reviews, with more than 5,000 pairs being bought in the past month.
The KVIDIO headphones don't offer the best noise cancellation around, so if this is top of your wish list, these aren't the ones for you. What they do offer, however, is an impressive 65 hours of playtime and an 'almost concert hall-like feel' to your favourite music, as though you're watching it live.
They also provide 'unmatched' comfort, thanks to their soft memory-protein foam earmuffs and adjustable headband. The headphones come in black, blue, pink, white and green, and feature updated Bluetooth version V5.3 to ensure an 'ultra-fast' and 'virtually unbreakable' connection up to 10 metres.
While a few Amazon buyers commented on the KVIDIO Bluetooth headphones being unable to cancel out noise well, one satisfied customer said: "Solid and reliable. The sound quality is good, and the long battery life is a big plus. I use them every day, and they're comfortable for extended wear. Great for everyday use."
