Product A
Sony WH-1000XM5
Sony's previous-generation flagship wireless over-ear noise-cancelling headphones, combining excellent adaptive ANC, strong sound quality, LDAC support, multipoint Bluetooth, very good call performance, wired listening and around 30 hours of battery life with noise cancelling enabled. Although superseded by the WH-1000XM6, the WH-1000XM5 remain a particularly compelling option when discounted, especially for travellers and commuters who want flagship-class Sony noise cancellation without paying for the newest model.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones
Bose's mainstream premium wireless over-ear noise-cancelling headphones, combining strong ANC, excellent long-session comfort, multipoint Bluetooth, wired listening, adjustable EQ and up to 24 hours of battery life. Positioned below the QuietComfort Ultra, the standard QuietComfort is particularly attractive to buyers who want Bose's signature comfort and noise cancellation without paying extra for Immersive Audio and the Ultra's more advanced personalised processing.
