Every Headphone,
One Honest Score.

Sony's flagship gets its folding hinge back, a new noise-cancelling processor, and the most balanced tuning the 1000X line has ever had.

Bose's flagship refines the most comfortable ANC headphone around, adding USB-C audio, longer battery life and smarter features.

Apple's third-generation Pro earbuds add heart-rate sensing, much stronger noise cancelling and longer battery life — at the same price.

Sennheiser's wireless flagship pairs a rich, detailed sound with a staggering 60-hour battery — and it now costs far less than at launch.

Sony's flagship true wireless earbuds deliver top-tier noise cancelling, strong call quality and a 10-band EQ, but the price rose and fit may be hit-or-miss for small ears.

Years after launch, Sony's former flagship is still one of the smartest buys in noise cancelling — especially at today's prices.

Samsung's flagship earbuds bring upgraded adaptive noise cancelling, a bigger battery cell and IP57 protection to Galaxy phone owners.

A multi-platform wireless gaming headset with simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth, a 38-hour battery and a ski-goggle headband built for marathon sessions.

A budget headphone with a remarkably balanced sound, LDAC support and battery life that seems to go on forever.

A feature-packed budget earbud with LDAC, aptX Lossless, multipoint and long battery life, held back by average calls, a finicky fit for some and ANC that is good rather than great.

Sony's 2025 midrange noise-cancelling earbuds pair a warm, bass-forward sound and solid ANC with 8.5 hours of battery, and they cost far less than the flagships.

Sony's lightest noise-cancelling headphone brings genuinely useful ANC, a balanced sound and multipoint to the under-$100 crowd.

Flagship-style features — adaptive ANC, LDAC, multipoint and a 50-hour battery — for a fraction of flagship money.

The Soundcore Space One packs adjustable noise cancelling, LDAC and a 40-hour battery into a sub-$100 foldable over-ear, but its bass-and-treble-heavy tuning needs some EQ work.

The Beats Solo 4 offers huge battery life, wired USB-C audio and iPhone perks, but its bright tuning, on-ear fit and lack of noise cancelling hold it back.

A featherweight, long-lasting on-ear Bluetooth headset with a useful EQ app and multipoint, held back by weak isolation, no folding hinge and an on-ear fit that tires some ears.
