Headphones that will surprise you with specs and price
From wireless
earbuds to planar magnetic headphones, these options are bang for your buck
EARBUDS - RHA S500
Earbuds are loved for their portability and
noise-isolating capabilities. They’re great for brief walks around the
neighbourhood, morning commute or a day at the office. In this contested
category, the RHA S500 is a great choice. It has impressive clarity and precision
of an in-ear headphone, along with a comfortable fit.
PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONES —
Tidal Force Wave 5 Headphones
Planar magnetic headphones use a magnetic field to
move the diaphragm of a speaker, and a thin sheet of coil allows for greater
sound uniformity. Tidal Force’s Wave 5 Headphones utilise this technology yet
cost less than half of what other companies charge. They sound incredible. If
you are an audiophile, you should check out the Wave 5.
WIRELESS EARBUDS — Anker
SoundBuds NB10
These wireless earbuds from Anker offer good-sounding
inear headphones (and battery packs, chargers and cables) all for a great
price. You will love its warm sound and remarkable bass response. Its
demureness makes it great both when you are at the gym and out of it.
NOISE-CANCELLING HEADPHONES —
CB3 Hush Noise Cancelling Headphones
The best noise-cancelling headphones can eliminate
noise while maintaining hi-res audio quality while others accept the trade-off
for what it is. The CB3 Hush are in the latter camp. It may not be the best
sounding headphones out there, the CB3 deliver on its promise of effective
noise-cancellation.
ON-EAR HEADPHONES — Skullcandy
Grind
These bass-heavy headphones bring a built-in
microphone to the mix and offer good sound quality. They are light, but not
fragile. They are powerful, but are directional enough that sound doesn’t spew
out everywhere, alerting your neighbours that you are listening to Taylor Swift
again.
For those looking to cut the cord, the Creative Sound
Blaster JAM is the way to go. It’s lightweight, sounds great and is affordable.
The foam earpads sit directly on top of your ears instead of encompassing them
entirely, something some folks find more comfortable. However, it may let in
some ambient noise.
