It's rare to see a company make an almost perfect product. It's even rarer to see one improve an almost perfect product. And yet, here we are. Sony's already incredible MDR-1000X wireless, adaptive noise-cancelling headphones got an upgrade earlier this year and dropped the price to $350.

Incredible noise-cancelling; great sound

Touch sensitive controls can be finicky

The Sony WH-1000XM2 headphones are the most technologically advanced earphones you can buy today. You get active noise cancellation and wireless connectivity. The headset is priced at Rs 30,990.

The Sony WH-1000XM2 is the best noise canceling headset in the market. Exceptional battery life, excellent comfort levels and the uncanny ability to turn down the volume on your surroundings make it an excellent purchase for anyone who flies a lot or simply wants a quieter environment around them.

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II and the Sony WH-1000XM2, carrying on a battle started by their predecessors, are two of the best noise-cancelling headphones you can buy. Your choice will depend, then, on your sound signature preference and whether you need features such as high-res audio playback.
