These over-ear headphones and earbuds from Bose, Sony, and more will add some silence and serenity to your day….
Shaking off the world and sinking into a new album can feel like a train ride through the countryside … unless you’re on an actual train with a loud talker next to you. Or a baby crying. Or wheels that make that really bad squeal when they brake.

Below are the best noise-canceling headphones you can buy, handpicked by the Gear team here at WIRED.
