Active noise cancellation (ANC) headphones have been in great demand in recent times. Here are six noise-cancelling headphones worth checking out.

Sony WH-1000XM5 (Rs 29,990) : The Sony WH-1000XM5 have exceptional ANC and has an auto NC optimizer to change ANC levels depending on external sound levels. There is a super cool Speak to Chat feature which automatically pauses audio when you start speaking to someone.

Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless (Rs 34,990) : The headphones come with audio that is close to audiophile-level quality in terms of being balanced (although it is not classically flat), handling bass and treble very well, without letting either of them overwhelm the mids. ANC is very good and adapts to external noise levels.

Bose NC 700 (Rs 34,499) : Headphones that deliver the best of both ANC and audio worlds, and also look good enough to act as a style statement. Call quality is great as well and on par with the WH-1000XM5.

Sony XB-WH910N (Rs 14,999) : If you want ANC as well as plenty of bass, then the Sony XB-WH910N are the headphones for you. The WH910N deliver very solidly on the bass front — those who love techno and underground music will just love the thump these deliver.

Razer Opus X (Rs 6,999) : If you are looking for a good-ish ANC experience and do not want to venture into the five-figure zone then the Razer Opus X are a terrific option. They are well-designed and even come with a Razer-green variant.

AirPods Max (Rs 49,999) : The ANC is easily the best in the business, and the sound quality is simply outstanding, with a surprisingly balanced output (even the treble is so clear, a rarity in closed-back wireless headphones) that it even outclasses the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless.
