Headphones and earphones reviews
When it comes to headphones, there’s more to consider than just sound quality.
Our in-depth test of headphones from Apple, Bose, Google, Sony, Sennheiser and more helps you find the ones that:
- have the best sound quality
- have the best active noise cancellation (where available)
- have the best battery life
- are the easiest to set up and use.
We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
Shopping links on the CHOICE website
CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.
