Do any of them have a 3.5 mm headphone jack? if so which ones
@rustyboltz2820

The Bose QC Ultra has a 2.5 to 3.5mm jack, going to be honest I never even used it since I only use it on bluetooth and it won’t play music while charging, I’d prefer wired to be wired and wireless to be wireless but it is good for emergencies if the bluetooth doesn’t work.

the title should be clear. “Best Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones Released in 2023”. If this is the best of 2023. All Headphones regardless of their year of release should be qualified as long as they are still in the market and up to the performance standards the reviewer set.

This was a fun video & educational
I know very little about these headphones. I’m not a big fan of ANC
I prefer to be aware of
I heard the Bose are the best

I’ve got a CH-720N and I have to say that I’m pleasantly surprised at how decent it is for the price. It hits all the important aspects of a wireless headphone at £100.
