For those prioritizing audio quality and comfort for extended listening, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 offers superior sound, comfort, and noise isolation. It is especially good for air travel and has significantly better battery life. However, they are a high-end, pricier option best suited for stationary listening due to their size and weight. On the other hand, the KZ ZSN Pro (with Mic) is much more budget-friendly. They provide decent sound and are more portable with a lighter build, but they have less effective noise cancellation and are less suitable for long periods of use like air travel. Give Feedback

"The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 offers a near bespoke level of build quality and design with impeccable materials, intuitive controls, and great sound. From an industrial design perspective, they are one of the best wireless headphones we have tested so far."
"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
