Best Noise Cancelling Headphones in India

Packing Sony’s incredible HD Noise Cancelling QN1 processor, the Sony WH-1000XM3 over-ear headphones is an absolute powerhouse of a unit. The accompanying Sony Headphones app allows you to customise when the ANC turns on, as per your location and activity and it also comes packing an efficient adjustable equaliser. Although Bose is almost always the name associated with quality ANC implementation, Sony stepped up and demoted Bose Noise Cancelling headphones to the number 2 spot. The headphones block out inordinate amounts of low-end noise and even do well with constant chatter. They feature a warm, slightly bass-forward sound profile with adequate detail maintained in all frequencies. Overall, these are the noise cancelling headphones with microphone to beat in 2020 even though these headphones released back in 2018.

Although the Bose NC 700 comes up a bit short when it comes to ANC performance, and especially, sound quality, in comparison to the Sony WH-1000XM3, they’re still a solid pair of noise-cancelling headphones with microphone. Featuring a whopping eight microphones, six of which deliver Bose’s signature noise cancelling, the NC 700 also allows granular control over the noise cancellation levels by letting users toggle between 11 adjustable ANC levels. Albeit the ANC does alter the sound quality significantly in the lows, it still doesn’t sound unpleasant. Additionally, the Bose NC 700 also comes with a sleek and modern design, making other over-ears look rather dated.

With ANC powered by eight microphones, the Jabra Elite has cemented itself as a serious contender in this space. Providing the user with a ginormous 36-hour-long battery life, the Jabra Elite 85H features a number of bells and whistles such as AI-enabled Smart Sound control which automatically adapts to your surroundings, on-ear detection, voice assistant access and more. The Jabra does manage to suppress a considerable amount of ambient air, voice chatter, and background noise. However, it does not manage to beat the heavyweights in this category. Nevertheless, the sizable battery life, warm and pleasant sound profile, and decent ANC performance make it a rather lucrative Noise cancelling bluetooth headphone.
