In the third generation of the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 battery life is good, and comfort levels are so high our reviewer commented that they can be worn for hour after hour. Most importantly though, ANC is strong and sound quality lives up to the brand's high signature sound standards.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX: was $499 now $324 @ Amazon  
It's always good to bag luxury for less, and B&O's headphones are some of the most sumptuous we've tested. These active noise-canceling wireless cans are equipped with 35 hours battery life and in our Beoplay HX review we said they delivered engaging and energetic sound with proper momentum and pace. ANC performance is strong as is pride of ownership, and that's a lot easier to justify at this discounted price.
