Shoppers on the lookout for noise-cancelling headphones and who don't mind paying a premium for one of our favourite wireless headphones are in luck, as they're currently on sale. And having tried them for ourselves, we rated them as an 'industry-leading noise-cancelling' pick.

It's part of an ongoing sale, but aside from the now cheaper sale price, these over-ear headphones offer premium quality with a decent battery life and sound.

In his review of the Bose pair, Henry said: "Bose has produced one of the best pairs of over-ear headphones ever made with the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, thanks to excellent audio quality, the best noise cancellation on the market, and a very comfortable fit that can be worn for hours.

"Though very expensive, the Ultras pack in extremely good sound reproduction that covers all genres nicely, with granular EQ settings available in the Bose Music app so you can tweak to your liking. There's also multipoint tech, so you can be connected to two audio sources at once.

"Topping it all off is the crazy-good noise cancellation, which will ensure these headphones will block out anything from traffic to noisy neighbours to the roar of a Boeing's engine. The battery could be a little better for those long-haul flights at only six hours, mind. But overall, these are among the best headphones on the market."

One other downside is the quirk of the headphones' Immersive Audio feature, as Henry highlighted, this can 'make the audio feel less impactful'.
