Noise Cancelling Headphone Tier List 2024 Edition

Resolve gives his ANC headphone tier list of 2024. Noise cancelling headphones need to do more than just sound good, and they serve a different function from conventional passive headphones and they are also far more complicated. Therefore, the criteria for this list based entirely on how likely he is to recommend a given ANC headphone to a friend, rather than being weighted specifically for sound quality.
