Wireless noise-cancelling headphones

Beautiful design; beautiful sound

Bowers & Wilkins first attempt at active noise-cancelling wireless headphones are accomplished and clever, they come with tonnes of tech but it is the superb audio performance that really shines.

Four levels of active noise-cancellation; Beautiful design notes; Super soundstage with control over clarity and bass in equal measure; Wear sensor that switches them off when not in use

Foldable design could have been adopted; Pricier than some already direct rivals
