1) JBL Club 950NC

Key FeatureHigher resistance to power surges
Where to Buyhttps://www.jbl.com.sg/noise-cancelling-headphones/CLUB950NC.html?dwvar_CLUB950NC_color=Black-GLOBAL-Current&cgid=noise-cancelling-headphones#start=1
Price$369.00

Bring the stage to you with JBL CLUB 950NC headphones. The legendary JBL Pro Sound and Hi-Res audio deliver a vast array of detail and clarity for the finest listening experience possible. The JBL CLUB 950NC headphones feature padded, oval earcups for a comfortable fit. They’re also built with high-end materials like metal hinges and an accent bezel to complete the premium look.

Key Differentiators:

  • Wireless over-ear noise cancelling headphones
  • Higher resistance to power surges
  • EQ personalization and bass boost

2) Sony WH-1000XM3

Key FeaturePersonalised noise cancellation
Where to Buyhttps://www.sony.com.sg/electronics/headband-headphones/wh-1000xm3
Price$349.00

To begin, the Sony WH-1000XM3’s noise cancellation is regarded to be one of the best right now. Never mind your noisy neighbors while working from home; I slept like a baby next to an actual wailing baby during a recent red-eye flight while wearing these. This headphone has a 30-hour battery life, which makes them ideal for the frequent traveller or the hardworking professional. A super long 30-hour battery life alleviates charging issues, but if you start the day with a flat battery, putting it on for 10 minutes will give you 5 hours of playback.

Key Differentiators:

  • Has a dedicated NC processor 
  • Highly effective at blocking out daily noise like voices and the background sounds
  • Noise cancellation personalised

Customer’s Review:

Definitely one of the best or if not the Best Noise Cancelling Headphones out there in the market, however, wish there is an option to cancel out the ambient noise feature when using it on the call as the background could be very loud. If this is not a problem for you, definitely get this Headphone bass is good and sound is crystal clear and NC is the best as compared to my QC35II.

3) AKG N60 NC

Key FeatureFine-tuned for traveling
Where to Buyhttps://www.akg.com.sg/N60NC+BT.html
Price$449

The earcups of the tiny AKG N60NC, unlike those of the other noise cancelling headphones on this list, sit atop your ears rather than enclosing them like earmuffs. This makes it simpler to carry these phones around since they take up half the room as conventional headphones.

It’s also worth noting that because the cups are large and circular, they may be more comfortable for bespectacled users who get headaches when larger circumaural headphones press their eyewear against their temples.

Key Differentiators:

  • Fine-tuned for traveling
  • Flat-foldable design and thoughtfully-included accessories
  • Comes with an airline adapter, tangle-free fabric cable, carrying case

4) Sennheiser MOMENTUM Wireless 3

Key FeatureIntuitive 3-button interface
Where to Buyhttps://singapore.sennheiser.com/products/momentum-wireless
Price$479.00

Sennheiser is unquestionably the most reliable brand on this list, and the construction of its products reflects this. The Momentum Wireless 3 is made up of high-quality materials, with brushed stainless steel and genuine leather used in its construction rather than plastic. Its sophisticated appearance also extends to how it is used.

Key Differentiators:

  • 17-hour battery life
  • Auto On/Off and Smart Pause features
  • Intuitive 3-button interface

Customer’s Review:

I am not an audiophile, however, it sounds great. Button controls are responsive and clearly marked. The app is there to adjust bass and highs. I bought this to replace my Bose QC35 1st gen.

5) Bose QC35 II

Key FeatureEngineered with renowned noise cancellation
Where to Buyhttps://www.boseapac.com/en_in/products/headphones/over_ear_headphones/quietcomfort-35-wireless-ii.html#v=qc35_ii_black
Price$499

The QC35 II is often called the most comfortable noise cancelling headphone because it clamps securely yet not too tightly on your head, with cushy padding in the proper locations. It’s also a good headset for conversations, especially when you can hear your own voice as you speak so you don’t accidentally raise your tone.

Key Differentiators:

  • Engineered with renowned noise cancellation
  • With Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa built-in
  • Made with corrosion-resistant stainless steel

6) AirPods Pro

Key FeatureActive Noise Cancellation
Where to Buyhttps://www.apple.com/sg/shop/product/MLWK3ZA/A/airpods-pro
Price$379.00

The AirPods Pro are tiny wireless earbuds with excellent noise cancellation that can handle everything. The latest choice on this list, they also have a few handy functions: wireless charging, IPX4 water resistance for your workouts, and a surprisingly decent microphone for calls. The AirPods Pro’s ease of use begins with quick pairing – simply open the case and you’re ready to go.

Key Differentiators:

  • Active Noise Cancellation
  • Customisable fit
  • MagSafe Charging Case

7) Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC

Key FeatureDigital Active Noise Cancelling with hybrid technology
Where to BuyClick here
Price$458.99

Beyerdynamic is a century-old high-fidelity audio brand that creates headphones with prices in the thousands. The Lagoon ANC’s price tag notwithstanding, it provides excellent noise cancellation as well as high-quality audio. The headphones come with adaptive sound processing that customizes the sounds to your hearing capability, allowing you to hear music as it was meant to be heard. In addition, the headphones have a 25-hour battery life and touch controls for simple use.

Key Differentiators:

  • Has two adjustable intensity levels
  • Integrated voice prompts in German and English

8) JBL Live 650BTNC

Key FeatureBlock-out ambient sounds
Where to Buyhttps://www.jbl.com.sg/over-ear-headphones/JBL+LIVE650BTNC.html?dwvar_JBL%20LIVE650BTNC_color=Black-GLOBAL-Current
Price$249.00

The JBL Live 650BTNC is the most affordable option on this list, delivering excellent noise cancellation and a powerful punchy sound for a low price. Even at this price, the headphones feature multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, which is handy if you use several gadgets simultaneously. However, when compared to the competition, it lacks helpful features such as a bubble tea shop transparency mode to hear your queue number called out. Its 20-hour battery life is more than enough.

Key Differentiators:

  • Google voice assistant or Amazon Alexa built-in
  • Active Noise Cancelling
  • Block-out ambient sounds

9) Jabra Elite 85h

Key FeatureOn-ear detection
Where to BuyClick here

For business employees searching for the ideal everyday headphones for their hectic working days, the Jabra Elite 85h is an excellent choice. Noise cancellation and microphones on both ends allow you to get some peace on your commute. The headphones have a 31-hour battery life, which is the longest on this list. They’re also IP52 water-resistant if you find yourself in the middle of an unanticipated downpour.

The Sony WF-1000XM3 are true wireless earbuds with excellent noise cancellation, just like the AirPods Pro. Although the WF-1000XM3 is somewhat bulkier, it delivers exceptional audio quality and noise reduction in a subtle, elegant form. The WF-1000XM3’s battery life is excellent at 6 hours (24h with case), and it has auto pause/play functions that perform the task for you when you remove and re-insert your earbuds.

Key Differentiators:

  • HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e
  • Dual microphones
  • Upscales compressed digital music files

Customer’s Review:

I bought this product a month ago, it is a great product and value for money especially for the noise cancelling wireless earbuds. However, would be good to have a mute function control function as well.
