Good sound is crucial when editing video. Nobody wants to miss a stray beep or discover later that a perfectly timed scene hides an annoying hum. Picking the right Bluetooth headphones really matters for video editors—because even the best video falls flat if the audio is a disaster.
Bluetooth headphones make work a lot easier by ditching tangled cords and letting us actually move around, especially during those epic editing marathons. The best ones deliver crisp, balanced audio and stay comfortable for hours (so our ears don’t rebel halfway through a project).
Not every pair is up to the job, though. Some cut out, lag, or squeeze your head like a watermelon.
When we pick Bluetooth headphones for video editing, we look for sound accuracy, low audio delay (latency), and comfort. Battery life matters too—nobody wants to chase down a charger in the middle of a project.
We spent hours comparing and testing top Bluetooth headphones to find the ones that turn editing from a headache into something almost enjoyable.
Best Bluetooth Headphones for Video Editors
Laggy audio or noisy backgrounds can ruin an editing session. We set out to find the best Bluetooth headphones to keep us focused and a little more sane.
Let’s dive into our top picks before our coffee wears off.
If you want headphones that handle long editing days, blast away background noise, and look fancier than your sweatpants, these deserve a look.
Pros
Super comfortable for hours—no headache after
Active noise cancellation that actually drowns out all those “open office” sounds
Clear calls, so clients finally stop saying, “Wait, what?”
Cons
Not great if you sweat a lot—these aren’t water resistant
Sometimes the plastic creaks, which isn’t a fun new percussion sound
You lose Bluetooth if you wander too far from your laptop
Setting these up takes barely any effort. One-touch pairing worked with both our Mac and our friend’s Android without any drama.
Our group editing session turned into a quiet zone—active noise cancelling works almost suspiciously well, even when the neighbors are vacuuming.
Battery life is honestly impressive. We got through a full day of editing, survived a random video call, and still didn’t need to charge.
Even on 10%, a quick ten-minute top-up bought us enough time to finish our project (and grab a snack).
Spatial audio is great for catching subtle cues, but we did notice a little squeak from the headband if we shifted around too fast.
If you care about water resistance, these aren’t gym buddies—unless your workout involves sitting very still.
For video editors who want comfort, solid sound, and the ability to ignore the world, Beats Studio Pro Wireless Headphones definitely pull their weight—just don’t dance too far from your laptop.
If you want audio editing to be interruption-free and your head not to feel like it’s in a vice, these are worth a look.
Pros
Light enough to forget you’re wearing them
Noise canceling blocks out that neighbor’s leaf blower
Battery life could outlast a Netflix binge
Cons
Padding flattens faster than motivation on Mondays
No carrying case, so they’re loose in your bag
Ear cups might bother those with material allergies
After a few days with the Sony WH-CH720N, we realized how much easier it is to focus when the outside world is muffled.
Noise canceling does a solid job, letting us actually hear every little audio hiccup in our edits.
Comfort surprised us—these are so lightweight, our heads didn’t feel like they were balancing bricks.
The ear padding could be better, though. After a marathon session the cushions flattened out a bit, and if your ears are picky about materials, it might be an issue.
We had to get creative with storage since there’s no case.
We switched between laptop and phone without missing a beat. If only Sony had included a protective case, these would be close to perfect for long editing hours.
Stays comfortable during long, marathon editing sprints
Reliable battery life means fewer panicked “low battery” moments
Cons
Your wallet will definitely notice the price tag
Not the most breathable on hot days
Needs the app for the best features, which can annoy the tech-averse
Right out of the box, these look slick and feel sturdy. Putting them on is basically telling the world to hush—some of us are working here.
The ear cushions are soft, which is a lifesaver at 2am when you’re hunched over syncing audio.
If you’ve ever wanted to tune out family karaoke night, these headphones are up for the job.
Switching between noise cancelling and “aware” mode is easy. You can block out distractions for editing, then turn it off when the cat is up to something.
Multi-device pairing is another treat—jumping from laptop to phone feels seamless, so you don’t have to play Bluetooth musical chairs.
On the downside, your ears might get a little warm during long sessions. The Bose app is needed to unlock the best controls, which is odd considering the price.
Still, the sound quality helps us catch every little edit, and the battery actually lasts as long as promised.
If you want good sound for editing and the option to hide from relatives in style, this is a solid pick.
Pros
Sound quality is clear with noticeable bass
Extremely long battery life keeps you editing for days
Goes wired or wireless depending on your mood
Cons
Plastic build feels a bit flimsy
Ear cups get warm on long projects
Included cable is on the short side
Let’s be real—when you’re deep into hours of editing, you want headphones that sound good and won’t die halfway through. The ATH-M20xBT hits the spot.
You can go wireless for freedom or plug in when Bluetooth gets weird (again). Switching between phone and computer is easy, so you don’t have to pretend you didn’t hear mom calling for dinner.
They hold a charge longer than most phones, which means less hunting for chargers and more time editing—or doomscrolling, if we’re honest.
Low latency mode helps keep video and audio in sync—a nice touch for editing.
We did notice the plastic feels a bit cheap, so maybe don’t toss them around. The ear cups also warm up during marathon sessions, but for the price and features, we can forgive that.
For anyone editing video who likes flexibility and clean audio, these get the job done.
Comfort is so good we only notice we’re wearing them when someone calls us on Zoom.
Cons
The bulky look makes us feel extra conspicuous in coffee shops.
No active noise canceling, so chatty co-workers might still break through.
Controls can feel a bit confusing at first.
The OneOdio A70 headphones surprised us, honestly. The sound quality gives our video edits new life—every background noise and music note stands out crystal clear.
Thanks to the long battery life, we can go an entire workweek without plugging in. That fits our forgetful charging habits perfectly.
Comfort isn’t an afterthought here. The ear cups feel cushy, and nothing pinches, even after hours of tweaking audio levels.
However, the size isn’t exactly “sleek.” Walking around the office, we looked a bit like air traffic controllers. Still, that’s a small trade-off for serious comfort and sound isolation.
We enjoyed the audio sharing feature. Editing with a teammate? Plug them into our set and both of us can listen in—no awkward earbud swapping.
Navigation buttons could be more intuitive. We spent more than a few moments playing “Guess That Button.”
If noise is a big issue in our space, we might wish for actual noise canceling. But for everything else, these deliver where it counts.
If we’re looking for reliable Bluetooth headphones for editing videos without splurging, these are a solid choice.
Pros
Comfortable fit for long sessions
Active noise canceling actually works
Quick USB-C charging saves the day
Cons
Ear pads may show wear over time
Buttons can be confusing at first
Not the flashiest design out there
Unboxing these Sennheisers, we felt like we finally joined the cool club of wireless editing. The fit is snug, and we don’t get headaches, even after a couple Radiohead albums and a YouTube rabbit hole.
Noise cancellation is honestly a lifesaver. If our neighbor wants to practice trumpet at noon, we keep working with nothing but a mild eye twitch.
Battery life here deserves a gold star. We breezed through two full days of editing before even thinking about charging.
When the warning beep finally showed up, plugging in for a quick charge got us back in business faster than our laptops could render.
The button layout trips us up. Muscle memory takes a while, and we’ve spent more than one coffee-fueled hour accidentally pausing at the worst possible timestamp.
The ear pads might not last forever if we use them every day, but grabbing replacements online is easy. If we want simple, comfy headphones that don’t fuss (or sparkle), these get the job done.
If we want to feel like audio wizards in a sea of noisy coffee shops, these could be our new magic hat.
Pros
Killer noise cancellation blocks out barking dogs and family karaoke
Spatial audio makes us think the music is dancing around our heads
Comfort that lets us edit for hours without weird ear pain
Cons
Price tag that might make our wallets whimper
Spatial audio feature chews up battery life faster
Not the best at keeping sweat at bay on hot days
With the Bose QC Ultra, it feels like slipping on a pillow for our heads and then telling the outside world to shush. We get lost in layers of sound, which helps when we’re agonizing over a single frame for hours.
The noise cancellation isn’t just good—it’s excellent. Watching a timeline and not hearing background chaos makes a real difference when editing videos.
Adjusting settings in the Bose app is straightforward and saves us some frustration. We can fine-tune the sound the way we like and don’t have to play guessing games with knobs and sliders.
Zoom calls sound crisp, not like we’re speaking from the bottom of a barrel. The microphone just works.
We do have to watch the battery, especially if we get carried away with spatial audio. And these headphones aren’t built for workouts or warm rooms—they can get a bit warm if we use them all day.
But for the comfort and immersive listening, the trade-offs are easy to live with.
If we want long battery life and solid noise cancelling in a light package (plus sometimes pretending we’re professional DJs), this Raycon set is worth a look.
Pros
Super long battery life—seriously, we started to wonder if these run on magic beans
Noise cancellation works well for blocking out chatty coffee shop folks (or relatives)
Comfortable for several hours, even for those of us with slightly lopsided heads
Cons
Ear cups could be a tad bigger for those of us blessed with larger than average ears
After many hours, the comfort level drops (cue the headphone shuffle)
Not the absolute best option for audiophiles looking for next-level sound
Right out of the box, these Raycon headphones feel pretty comfortable. We can adjust the band and fold them up when racing between editing sessions and snack breaks.
They’re light enough that our heads don’t feel weighed down after a few hours either.
The battery is where they really impress. We’re always forgetting to charge everything, but somehow these keep going.
One of us even left them on by mistake and they were still alive the next day. The quick charge feature saved us more than once when we remembered last minute we had a Zoom call.
Noise cancelling is decent for blocking out most distractions (like that guy in the office who talks loudly on speakerphone). Heavy background noise might sometimes sneak through.
If our editing sessions run all day, we notice our ears get a bit sore, especially with glasses. Still, if we need a good workhorse pair for editing, Raycon Everyday Wireless Headphones deliver.
After using the Sony WH-CH520s through one of our video marathon sessions, we noticed the battery outlasts even our most caffeine-fueled edits.
Seriously, we probably need a break long before these headphones do.
Between the featherweight build and squishy earpads, we barely remember we’re wearing them. That is, until we realize how easy it is to jump up for another snack run without yanking out any cords.
Switching between our laptop and phone for calls is hassle-free thanks to the quick Bluetooth multipoint connection.
We also like tweaking sound settings through the app, especially when shifting between editing voices and checking in on our favorite music tracks.
The on-ear size isn’t for everyone—if we have big ears, things get a little cramped around hour three.
The headphones feel a bit plastic-y, but that just means we’re less nervous about tossing them in our backpack.
We’d love a backup cable option too, just in case Bluetooth gets moody.
All things considered, they’re reliable, easy to carry, and save us from hunting for outlets in the middle of crunch time.
Buying Guide
Let’s be real—everyone wants headphones that look cool while editing. But, honestly, that can’t be the only reason to pick a pair.
Here are a few things worth paying attention to (besides your reflection in the monitor).
Sound Quality:
You want headphones that let you catch every crunch, snap, and even those awkward silences in your videos. Look for balanced sound and good clarity. Sure, bass-heavy headphones are fun for music, but they might hide important details you actually need to hear.
Comfort:
Editing sessions can drag on forever, right? Save your ears from misery. Go for soft ear cushions, an adjustable headband, and something lightweight. No one enjoys sore ears after a marathon of cutting clips.
Battery Life:
Nothing kills the mood like headphones dying mid-project. Get a pair that lasts through a full day’s work—or, let’s be honest, a whole season of your favorite show if you get sidetracked.
Latency:
Bluetooth headphones sometimes lag behind what’s happening on screen. That just makes syncing dialogue or music a pain. Grab headphones with low audio latency and dodge the dreaded lip-sync fail.
Connectivity:
Easy pairing and a solid connection make life so much easier. If you can switch between devices without a hassle, even better. Multipoint connectivity really feels like a win.
Here’s a quick look at key features:
