models through to some truly luxurious alternatives.

But after countless hours of testing, there are only three models I'd recommend above all others and I'm here to share my selections with you. In this list, I've included my overall top choice, an excellent cheap option, as well as a premium pick. The headphones I feature all excel in four key categories: they have a great set of features, stand-out sound quality, intelligent design, and offer plenty of value for money. Interested to know what made the cut? Then let's get into my list! View the full Amazon Big Spring Sale Oh, one last thing before we get started. Some of the headphones that I've included in this list are on sale right now, courtesy of the Amazon Big Spring Sale. And if you're looking for more brilliant bargains, be sure
to check out our Amazon Big Spring Sale live page . 1. Sony WH-1000XM6 (Image credit: Future) I use the Sony WH-1000XM6 just about every day, and for my money, they're the best pound-for-pound noise-cancelling headphones on the market.

Why? Well, they're the definition of true all-rounders. They offer class-leading active noise cancellation, beautifully balanced and dynamic audio, and a sleek yet foldable design all of which makes them genuinely
feel worth their asking price.

Combine that with the best call quality I've experienced from a pair of headphones, a neat magnetic case, and a Cinema mode for more immersive movie-watching, and these are the total package. It's no surprise, then, that we class the WH-1000XM6 as the best overall pick in our guide to the best headphones . Save 13% ($61.99) Sony WH-1000XM6: was $459.99 now $398 at
Amazon Not only are the Sony WH-1000XM6 the best headphones I've tested overall, but they're also on sale right now. That's right, with Amazon's spring-time deals, you can grab Sony's greatest ever cans for just $398, netting yourself a saving in excess of $60. Not bad, eh? This offer applies
to every colorway, including the newly released Sand Pink. View Deal 2. 1More Sonoflow Pro HQ51 (Image credit: Future) It almost feels impossible that the 1More Sonoflow Pro HQ51 even exist. They just deliver so much for such a
small price, with genuinely solid ANC, intricate and well-rounded sound, and
a neat look to boot.

They make the cut in our guide to the best noise-cancelling headphones , and we found that they competed with far pricier cans, like the Sony WH-1000XM4 and Cambridge Audio P100 SE, in terms of noise-crushing capabilities, which only goes to show their phenomenal value.

When I reviewed the Sonoflow Pro HQ51, I was also blown away by their 65-hour battery life...that's with noise cancelling active by the way! Pair that with a foldable design, and these headphones are ideal for on-the-go use. They're easily the best budget option on the market, in my view. Save 21% ($19) 1More Sonoflow Pro HQ51: was $88.99 now $69.99 at Amazon Right now, you can grab
the 1More Sonoflow Pro HQ51 in silver for just $69.99, saving you just shy of $20. That's an extremely good price on some extremely high-performing budget cans, which wowed me with their adept ANC, detailed sound, and seemingly endless battery life. View Deal 3. Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 (Image credit: Future / Simon Lucas) And finally, if you're looking for a premium pair of noise-cancelling headphones, then it doesn't get a whole lot better than the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 .

These luxurious-looking beauties are qualified to satisfy you, with
incredibly spacious and beautifully separated sound, stellar build quality, and higher-resolution Bluetooth streaming capabilities.

With the Px7 S3, every sound is so well defined, the soundstage is so expansive, and with aptX Adaptive, every detail is laid bare. B&W's
headphones may not provide the unstoppable ANC that the aforementioned XM6
do, but noise cancelling is still vastly improved against the Px7 S2. Save
10% ($49.01) Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3: was $479 now $429.99 at Amazon The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 are a drop-dead gorgeous pair of ANC headphones that sound better than just about every rival in their price class. With
impeccable design, a fleshed-out feature set, and aptX Adaptive higher-res Bluetooth streaming, they're my ultimate premium pick.
