While many wireless headphones come with a cable for wired listening, I've also included a handful of wired-only headphones on this list for audio purists looking for that extra level of clarity. Note that this list is regularly updated as more over-ear headphones hit the market, with the most recent additions being the Sony 1000X The Collexion, Sennheiser Momentum 5 Wireless, Apple AirPods Max 2 and Anker Soundcore Space 2.
