David & David rank and review the best over-ear headphones of 2023. We've tested dozens of pairs of headphones including the Sony XM4s, Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, and AirPods Max.

Each pair of headphones is put through an identical test to get a one to one comparison. We tested for overall sound quality, clarity, space, bass, durability, comfortability, and more!
