Which headphones are best?

There are many great headphones on the market and the best one for you will depend on your budget, intended use, and personal preferences. We’ve outlined some factors to consider when choosing headphones.

Type

There are several types of headphones to choose from, including in-ear, on-ear, and over-ear. In-ear headphones are small and portable, but may not provide as much sound isolation or bass as other types. On-ear headphones are lightweight and portable, but may not be as comfortable for long listening sessions. Over-ear headphones are larger and may be more comfortable for long periods of use, but are less portable.

Sound quality

Look for headphones with good frequency response and low distortion for the best sound quality. Many headphones also have features like noise cancellation, which can help reduce background noise when you’re listening to music.

Comfort

If you plan on wearing your headphones for long periods of time, it’s important to choose a pair that is comfortable to wear. Look for headphones with soft earpads and an adjustable headband.

Durability

Consider the build quality and materials used when choosing headphones. You’ll want a pair that can withstand regular use and potentially rough handling.

Price

Headphones range in price from under £50 to over £500. Determine your budget and look for a pair of headphones that offers the best value for your money.
