  • PositiveSehr hoher Tragekomfort
  • PositiveUmfangreiche App
  • PositiveKraftvoller, detailreicher Klang
  • NegativeTönt nicht neutral

Auch bei den Bügelkopfhörern gilt es vor dem Kauf, die Spreu vom Weizen zu trennen. Will man am meisten Sound fürs Geld, so landet man in diesem Kandidatenfeld beim Panasonic RP-HD605N. Zwar macht der Over-Ear optisch nicht viel her, aber dennoch paar er eine simple Bedienung mit wirklich gutem Sound...

  • PositiveNoch sehr gute Akkulaufzeit
  • PositiveSehr gute Soundqualität
  • PositiveHervorragende Geräuschunterdrückung
  • NegativeManchen könnte der Klang zu bassig sein
  • NegativeStimme für Telefonpartner zu leise

Der Noise-Cancelling-Kopfhörer Sony WH-1000XM3 schneidet im Test exzellent ab: Die aktive Geräuschdämmung (ANC), die Soundqualität und der Tragekomfort sind exzellent, die Akkulaufzeit zumindest sehr gut. Einziges nennenswertes Manko ist die sehr leise Stimmübertragung in Telefonaten. Wer davon absehen kann und bereit ist, den hohen Preis zu zahlen, bekommt einen ANC-Kopfhörer der Spitzenklasse.
