Product Information

Bang & Olufsen: Make high-end, fashion-forward headphones that look great but come at a premium price. Products generally perform decently but may not provide the best value for everyone. If you’re hoping your headphones will last the best part of a decade, you’ll need to choose a wired pair. The batteries in wireless headphones are unlikely to keep going for that long. If you’ve found a pair of headphones you love, you certainly don’t want them to break after a couple of months. You won’t be surprised to hear that very cheap headphones often don’t last as long as more expensive models. We found the battery life here to be solid. The UX3000 lasted for 35 hours from a single charge when we had ANC switched off, and 25 hours when it was switched on. During our testing we found that, from flat, they can be fully charged in around two-and-a-half hours. Although there are plenty of reasons why we enjoyed testing the Momentum 4 Wireless, it's the battery life that stands out as exceptional, especially compared to the competition. You'll get 60 whole hours, even with ANC on. For comparison, Sony's XM4 wireless headphones at the top of this list, as well as its newer XM5s, offer only half that at 30 hours.

Sony is one of the largest electronics manufacturers in the world and makes everything from camerasand TVsto a broad line of headphones suited to diverse needs. Whether you're looking for noise cancelling over-ears to help cut down ambient sound during your commute or sports-oriented earbuds with great stability, various products are available to meet your needs. Many Sony headphones are also compatible with the Sony | Headphones Connect app, which offers customization features like an EQ or button mapping. However, their large selection can be overwhelming, especially as there's a lot of overlap between models. Still, their high-end Bluetooth models are among the best we've tested, offering versatile performance for most users. The Koss Porta Pro has been on the market for over 30 years but remains immensely popular amongst audiophiles. We have tested and recommended it for years, and we can’t believe how good they sound every time. Koss made a headphone many years ago that others still can’t compete with today.However, you don't have to spend much to get great sound. Something like the budget-friendly Objective 2 amp, with its transparency and detail for home use, will blow your mind. On the other hand, if the portable clean sound on a budget is your thing, then many frugal audiophiles still swear by the Clip Mp3 Player by Sansa. The Grado SR80x headphones are the latest version of the brand’s classic (and more expensive) designs, which makes them the most budget-friendly option after the Grado SR60x.

The Beats Flex are a shining example of their product type, delivering wonderful audio quality, up to 12 hours of playtime and seamless pairing with Apple devices, all for a very reasonable price. They also have successfully implemented auto-pause functionality that triggers whenever you remove a bud from your ear. No, they’re not for everyone. But for those who can (in every respect) justify the outlay, the Sennheiser IE 900 are an endlessly rewarding listen. In-ear headphones are much smaller, fitting inside your ear. Their earpieces can have two different designs: Anker is a Chinese company known for their affordable electronic accessories like power banks and charging cables. This brand also makes audio products like speakers and headphones under the 'Soundcore' label. Overall, their headphones offer a good price-to-performance ratio and come in many styles. Some headphones are also compatible with the Soundcore app, which has a graphic EQ and presets to help you customize their sound. Others have an active noise cancelling system that, at times, can nearly rival that of other big brands like Bose and Sony.Wearability and style matter too. We tested over long periods to see how comfortable they were during longer listening sessions or commutes, and we also evaluated their style to see if they looked like you were a plugged-in music fan or one of the Cybermen from Dr Who. Comfort: Whether you intend to use headphones every day or just occasionally, comfort is paramount when deciding what to go for. If you plan to use them for long periods of time, over-ear pairs are typically the best choice. Travel and commuting: Many will choose noise-cancelling pairs that actively eliminate unwanted external noises such as the hum of a train; these are often more expensive. For the top-scoring in-ear pairs in our lab tests, see our best in-ear headphones guide . On-ear headphones

I love the iconic design and how it has remained relatively unchanged for the duration of its existence (there are now a few color options). It’s recognizable in a way that will get you the nod of approval from people in the know. Earbuds do not seal off the ear canal and typically offer the worst audio performance of the bunch. Earphonesseal off the ear canal and therefore offer better bass response, a more balanced stereo mix, and a more secure fit.

Notable Mentions

Headphones fall into three main categories: over-ear, on-ear and in-ear, with a fourth – bone conduction – gaining in popularity. Each has its pros and cons, so make a decision based on the style you find most comfortable to wear and that best suits your listening needs. Headphones most typically have dynamic drivers, whereas earphones might have dynamic drivers or balanced armature drivers. Especially in headphones, dynamic drivers are the most common, because a larger dynamic driver—which the ear enclosure for a pair of headphones can accommodate—can get louder and produce more bass depth. In earphones, the dynamic drivers have to be much smaller; this can often affect bass response. These are on-ear headphones rather than over-ears, and one result of that is that the soundstage isn't quite as immersive as with a pair of over-ears.You might also hear some ambient sounds too, but for those who work in an office or need to stay alert at home this could be a plus point rather than a criticism. Not everyone finds these as comfortable for long periods too. During our testing, we really enjoyed listening to the Final Audio UX3000 headphones. This is thanks to their dynamism, detail retrieval and musicality.Whatever music genre you prefer, you'll be happy with the performance on offer from these headphones. Type: Over-ear | Wireless: Yes | Bluetooth: 5.0 | Battery life: 50 - 80hr (depending on features enabled) | Finishes: 2 | Weight: 281g | Water resistance: n/a | Active noise-cancelling: Yes

That's excellent for convenience, but never assume that all ANC is the same. Simply put, the best of the ANC realm is quite effective, with Bose leading the category, but plenty of other manufacturers from Apple to Sony offer top-notch options. See how we test noise cancellation to understand how it works and how we test this feature. I recommend pairing them with a powerful linear/neutral-sounding amplifier like the Sennheiser HDV 820 reference amp for the best sound quality.

Open vs closed back – what’s the difference?

The difference between an entry-level audiophile headphone and an ultra-high-end model is a sonic evolution instead of a revolution. Over-ear headphones (also known as 'circumaural' headphones) have earcups that fully surround your ears.
