What do you think of our picks? Make some noise in the comments! (Though people might not hear you if they have ANC on)
Which headphones are closest to the Harman target?
I’ve been using the sony xm4s for 5+ years, and they’re STILL performing perfectly. Easily the best tech purchase I’ve ever made
I’ve avoided over ears because I have one ear larger than the other (thanks, dad!) and most have been very uncomfortable. Do any of those fit the bill? I don’t want to purchase a pair that I’d have to take off in an hour due to discomfort, which usually happens.
I recently bought the Soundcore Q45 brand new for ~85 USD. Excellent headphones.
