Right. Bose and Sony are the two most often recommended, at least in the comparative reviews I've seen.

Don’t overlook the Sony WH-1000XM5. Excellent noise cancelling and very good sound. I’ve had a pair of the WH-1000XM2 since those were current, and I’ve been very pleased with them. The Sonys support probably the best bluetooth codec out there, LDAC, for sound fidelity. However, iDevices don’t support LDAC, presumably because of Apple’s strong NIH culture. |
@hifinut51 - I assume that the Sonys will connect to an iPhone just fine. What it means is that it won’t connect using LDAC, but it will connect using the best Bluetooth codec that the headphones and the iPhone have in common. Since there are so many iPhones, I expect that will be whatever the best Bluetooth codec is that Apple has provided. I am not an expert, especially on Apple devices, so I suggest you check the specs and/or buy from a place that will let you return the headphones if you don’t like them. |
