Why it's here

Best for most people

Sony's newest flagship uses the QN3 processor and 12 microphones to tune noise cancelling to your surroundings, and now folds into a smaller carry case. Multipoint suits anyone switching between a laptop and a phone. Thirty hours of battery is good but shorter than the JBL and Sennheiser picks here.
