Sound: Do they sound good? Audio quality is pretty important for headphones, after all. Comfort & Design: Are they comfortable to wear over extended periods of time? Features: How long does the battery last? Is the connectivity reliable? Is the noise-cancelling good? Vibe: What’s the overall experience? Value: Are they good for the money?
While audio products can be quite subjective for many reasons, we have standardised testing procedures across the team designed to help us look at the category in a consistent way, and give you the best recommendations possible. The playlist covers a wide range of genres, spanning from saccharine pop to progressive death metal. These songs have been carefully chosen to test certain sonic characteristics. You can check out the playlist by hitting the button below. Some of the questions we consider as part of our editorial testing include:
Do they pass the headbang bang test? Do they use gestures or physical buttons? Are they any good? How compact are the headphones and their case?
How long does the battery last? Is there noise cancelling and is it any good? Is connectivity reliable? Do they have an ambient mode? Can you use them as wired headphones?
Not everyone needs or wants expensive headphones, so we always make sure more affordable options are considered on their own merits. When looking at price during the review process, we always refer to retail price as a baseline - even if there might be temporary discounts available.
