Headphones buying guides

The best headphones depend on where you'll wear them. Over-ear pairs are comfy for long sessions and often sound fuller, while on-ear pairs are lighter and easier to pack. Check whether they connect by wire, Bluetooth or both. If you work at a desk all day, comfort and clamp pressure matter more than any spec on the box.
