As long as there are phones, computers, tablets, and movies with sex noises in them that you’d rather not blare out loud on an airplane, headphones will be an essential part of modern life.
We love ‘em all, from the cheap as dirt wired variety to the big honking over-ear Bluetooth noise-cancelling gadgets churned out by the big brands. Headphone tech is changing every day and it’s hard to keep up. To that end, we’ve built a list of our very favorite headphones, earbuds, and everything in between for 2018 and beyond.
The Cheap
You can’t go wrong with the TaoTronics Bluetooth Headphones which exist at the perfect intersection of quality and affordability. The Taotronics use Bluetooth 4.2 and feature a modern, sweatproof design and deep bass to make a pair of these one of the best bargains of the year. [Amazon, $31.99]
