David and David tell you about the best over-ear headphones of 2021. This is a six month follow-up to our previous review.

We read your comments and added tested several new pairs of over-ear headphones, including the Shure Aonic 50, Wyze Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Microsoft Surface Headphones 2, and Sennheiser Momentum Wireless.

Despite testing several new pair headphones, three from our first round of reviews continued to stand out from the pack.
