Reviews

  • Sennheiser HD 438

    The HD 438 just falls shy of a fully immersive audio experience, but these mid-range headphones are very comfortable for the home listener.

    Specs: 3.5mm stereo , Closed , 17-22500 Hz, 32 Ω

  • Bose QuietComfort 15

    While they're no bargain, the Bose QuietComfort 15s currently offer the best sound and silencing capabilities in a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.

  • Logitech G330

    The G330 may not sound great, but it's certainly one of the most comfortable headphones around.
