Sitting more towards the pricier end of the best noise-cancelling headphones, the Technics EAH-A800 won't be for everyone. But if you're willing to splash the cash then they are a fantastic choice: a combination of jaw-dropping battery life and excellent sound makes them stand out in a very busy crowd.

Simple in design, the Technics EAH-A800 look smart and you can buy them in one of two elegant colourways: black or white.

The headphones have a matte plastic build with a brushed metal panel on the outside of the earcups, which surround your ear with soft cushions. A Technics logo is imprinted on each side, and the padded leather headband is easily adjusted on both ends to find the right fit for your head.

To carry them with you, the design is foldable and they also come housed in a hard-shelled, protective case. In the Technics EAH-A800 box, you get a USB-C charging cable, a 3.5mm audio cable and an aeroplane adaptor.
