Sony WH-1000XM6 vs. Bose QuietComfort Ultra: Which Is Best?

Every couple of years, Bose and Sony trade blows in an effort to claim the title of the best noise-canceling headphones you can buy. Until recently, Bose's QuietComfort Ultra (9/10, WIRED Recommends) had the edge, offering world-crushing cancellation that bested Sony's still-great WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) and other top models from the likes of JBL, Sonos, and Apple. Now, Sony's back with its latest WH-1000 model, the predictably titled WH-1000XM6 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). The new pai

Best Workout Headphones We Tested and Sweated In (2025)

Honorable Mentions Photograph: Adrienne So We try almost every pair of new workout buds that come out. Here are a few that we also like that didn't quite earn a space above. Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 for $180: In 2024, Jabra announced that this generation of the Elite Active series would be its last, which I hate, because these are the best. They're comfortable, secure, sound amazing, have a pleasingly matte texture and a smart case. These will be obsolete in two years. I weep. JLab Epic Sp

Best Over-Ear Headphones for 2025

Shure Aonic 50 Gen 2: A lot of us liked Shure's original Aonic 50 headphones, but they had pretty middling noise cancellation. Well, the 2nd-gen version addresses that issue -- the noise canceling is much improved -- and Shure has more than doubled the the battery life to around 45 hours (they now have a quick-charge feature) and also shrunk the headphone's carry case a bit, although it's still not that compact. Those upgrades make the Aonic 50 Gen 2 a top noise-canceling headphone. The Aonic 50

Your Google Assistant-integrated headphones are losing this convenient hands-free feature

TL;DR Last September, Google disabled automatic Assistant notification reading on the Pixel Buds Pro. Now Google is doing the same for Assistant with all headphones. You can still hear your notifications by manually asking Assistant to read them. Headphones paired with smartphones offer a whole lot more than just a private way to listen to music, and especially when headphones are integrated with Google Assistant, they instantly become powerful tools for interacting with our phones. While you

Today Oppo launched the Find N5, the thinnest book-style foldable phone yet, but there’s more to the phone than a slim design: it’s capable of connecting to a Mac for file transfers and even remote control. It’s not quite the first Android phone to do so, but it is the only one you can buy outside of China. To link the Find N5 with a Mac you first have to install Oppo’s O Plus Connect app on the Mac, which will be available from Oppo’s website — I’ve been testing out a beta version. Linking the
