Editor’s Choice Jonathan Morrison Favourite Wireless Headphones 

Sony MDR-100ABN

Almost everyone knows about the reputation Sony has amassed ever since it stepped into the tech industry, and considering how the company is known for producing some of the best headsets, and other products, it’s safe to say that Sony is now a household name.

Today, we are looking at Sony’s amazing MDR-100ABN wireless headphones with active noise cancellation, these have been in the market for quite some time and are known for being the top performers in several categories.

The headphones are available in a wide variety of attractive colours that look great, and speaking of looks, the headphones look good, and don’t really have a lot of weight to them. Having a lightweight pair of headphones is something that we always prefer mainly because it becomes really easy to carry them wherever a person wants.

The headphones feature extremely comfortable ear cushions for those who demand comfort, and the cushions combined with the lightweight provide an extremely comforting experience, something we are always looking in most of the headphones available in the market.

With that said, the active noise cancellation on this pair is one of the best we have seen, it’s there, and it cancels out all the unnecessary noises that make the overall experience somewhat middling, the amazing noise cancellation coupled with already amazing sound quality, and you’ve got yourself a recipe of brilliance.

Last but not the least, the wireless performance on this pair is one of the finest we have tested, they work easily on longer ranges, and they provide excellent battery life. Something travelers would prefer.

However, not everything is good, while the sound quality is really good, it’s not as good as some of the competition. However, one thing we realized is that if you are using these headphones with the wire, the performance won’t be as good, however, once turned on, these headphones can definitely deliver a fantastic performance.

That is something you should definitely keep in mind.
