Choose your must-haves

Start with your listening environment. Open and closed earcups suit different surroundings. A closed back is not the same as active noise cancellation. Check the exact cable and headphone output. We do not turn impedance, driver size or unpaired lab results into a sound-quality score.

What it brings and what to check

Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO MKII

What it brings

The closed design has a rated ambient noise attenuation of 25 dBA, and beyerdynamic describes the headphones as ideal for professional studio and monitoring applications.
Manufacturer source
Two ear-pad sets change the tuning: velour with a slight bass boost, or leatherette for a linear response; beyerdynamic states that almost every part of the headphones can be replaced.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

beyerdynamic rates it at 377 g without cable and a nominal headband pressure of 6 ±0.5 N; anyone sensitive to weight or clamping force over long sessions should weigh these figures.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
Isolation is passive only and there is no microphone, so it is not a substitute for active noise-cancelling travel headphones or a headset for calls.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

Sony WF-1000XM6

What it brings

The exact UK product page lists Qi-compatible wireless charging alongside adaptive active noise cancellation.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
The exact guide documents built-in microphones and separately described music and call or chat modes.
Manufacturer source

What to check

The charging case is not water resistant; LDAC and LC3 playback have different published limits from AAC or SBC.
