My testing process considered sound quality, comfort, battery life, usability, design, and price. I used my findings from those tests, along with input from a few other experts and our colleagues at the Verge, to put together this list covering all types of headphones and earbuds, including gaming headsets. Over three months, I tested the latest and greatest in noise-canceling headphones, earbuds, and wireless headphones. And that’s if you’re looking without any help. The odds of finding a good pair are high, considering that a number of companies are making great headphones right now.

Given the enormous number of headphone options, finding the best pair for your day-to-day needs can feel overwhelming.
