I’ve listened to almost every pair of premium wireless headphones this year – these are the ones I’m recommending to most people

Sony, B&W and Focal headphones on a brick floor .

The current cycle of premium wireless headphones has thrown up some wonderful options. We had the Dali IO-8 (currently £499 / $900 / AU$999) arrive at the end of last year, and while they remain an expensive pair of over-ears, we thought the Dali would be extremely tough to beat for any set of cans operating within the premium realm.

2025, however, has seen the bar nudged ever-skywards. Beyerydynamic looked to stake its claim in the wireless arena with the talented Aventho 300 (£359 / $400 / AU$640), while the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 were a treat for the eyes and ears when they arrived in the summer for roughly £399 / $449 / AU$699.
