Best Headphones for 2023: Top Picks for All Styles

With so many headphones and earbuds available, we’ve had to create a number of best lists here at CNET to cover all the various model types and use-case scenarios. For this list, I’ve taken the best of the best headphones from several categories, including wired and wireless (that includes true-wireless earbuds) and distilled that information into a top overall headphones list. We either fully reviewed or had hands-on time with every model on the list.

While many of the headphones on the list are premium models that cost a lot of money, we also like to highlight headphones that are a good value. These more affordable models can still deliver excellent quality at a good price. Regardless of budget or use case, this list will help you find the best headphones for you.

What are the best headphones right now?

There’s a lot of debate around this question, and it’s hard to name one single model as the best overall headphones, which also includes in-ear headphones or earbuds. But a few models do stand out a bit from the rest of the pack, which is why we’ve given them our prestigious CNET Editors’ Choice Award. From 2022, these include the Sony WH-1000XM5, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 and Apple AirPods Pro 2, and I’m sure we’ll see some worthy Editors’ Choice candidates arrive in 2023.

We tend to highlight more-affordable headphones — or at least models that cost $500 or less. But if you’re looking for fantastic sound quality, some high-end models, like the Focal Bathys, Bowers & Wilkins PX8 and Beyerdynamic’s Xelento Wireless (2nd generation), deliver outstanding sound quality. The new Technics EAH-AZ80 true-wireless earbuds also sound great, and we’re expecting Sony’s upcoming WF-1000XM5 earbuds to be top notch. 

I’ve fully reviewed or had hands-on listening time with all headphones and earbuds on this list. My recommendations are updated regularly as I test new models that hit the market.

Best headphones of 2023 

How we test headphones and earbuds

We test headphones and earbuds based on six key criteria. These criteria include design, sound quality, noise-canceling performance, voice-calling performance, features and value. 

• Design: Evaluating design, we assess not only how comfortable the headphones and earbuds fit (their ergonomics) but their build quality and how well the controls are implemented. When it comes to earbuds, we also look at water- and dust-resistance ratings. 
• Sound quality: We evaluate sound quality by listening to a set playlist of music tracks and comparing the earbuds to top competing products in their price range. Sonic traits such as bass definition, clarity, dynamic range and how natural the headphones sound are key factors in our assessment.
• Noise-canceling performance: If the headphones we’re testing feature active noise canceling (ANC), we evaluate ANC performance by wearing the headphones in the same spot indoors near a noisy HVAC unit to see how well they do at muffling lower frequencies. Then we head out to the streets of New York to test the headphones in a real-world environment where we see how they do muffling not only street noise but people’s voices. 
• Extra features: Some great-sounding noise-canceling headphones and earbuds aren’t loaded with features, but we do take into account what extra features are on board. These include everything from quick-access awareness to transparency modes (your music pauses and the headphones open up to the outside world so you can have a conversation) to special sound modes to ear-detection sensors that automatically pause your music when you take the headphones off your ears. We also take a look at the companion app for the headphones if there is one and how user friendly it is. 
• Voice-calling: When we test voice-calling performance, we make calls in the noisy streets of New York and evaluate how well the headphones or earbuds reduce background noise and how clearly callers can hear our voice.
• Value: We determine value after evaluating the strength of the headphones and earbuds against all these criteria and what they’re able to deliver compared to other models in their price class.

Hands-on With Focal’s Bathys, $799 Wireless Headphones Aimed at Audiophiles

Focal’s Bathys share the same design aesthetic as the company’s more expensive wired headphones.

David Carnoy/CNET

French audio company Focal is known for its high-end speakers and headphones. You might call it the Bowers & Wilkins of France. And now it’s finally done what a lot of high-end audio companies have had to do in this age of on-the-go wireless music listening: make active noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones. 

Over three years in development, the Bathys cost $799 (£699, AU$1199) and feature not only wireless connectivity but a built-in DAC (digital-to-analog converter) for USB wired listening with any computer, smartphone or tablet with USB-C. They are easily one of the best-sounding wireless headphones.

See at Crutchfield

Focal makes some hefty wired headphones for home listening, including the $3,000 Stellia that weighs in at 435 grams. For the Bathys, it created headphones that shared a similar design aesthetic but are more compact and weigh in at more reasonable 350 grams with a magnesium yoke used to help cut the weight. By comparison, the AirPods Max weigh 384. 8 grams.

While they’re not quite as comfortable to wear as the lighter Bose QuietComfort 45 or Sony WH-1000XM5, I did find them comfortable to wear over longer listening sessions. They didn’t feel too tightly clamped, and the headband didn’t create any pressure points on the crown of my head.

 The name, by the way, is inspired by the bathyscaphe, the first submarine exploration vehicle, with the headphones being the “embodiment of calm, depth and absolute silence,” according to Focal.

While they may be more compact than Focal’s other headphones, they’re still pretty large.

Focal

I haven’t had enough time with the Bathys to post a full review but here are some quick first impressions:

• While they’re more compact than Focal’s wired headphones, the Bathys are still large headphones and will look that way on your head. I liked how Focal’s flame symbol lights up on each ear cup when the headphones are turned on (you can turn off the lighting).  
• The noise-canceling is good though not excellent, with a low and high mode (“silent” and “soft”) as well a transparency mode. ANC has a tendency to degrade the sound so there’s always a delicate balance adding ANC when sound quality is the priority.
• The Bathys are equipped with Bluetooth 5.1 and have multipoint Bluetooth pairing (so you can pair them to two devices like a smartphone and computer simultaneously). I had no problem driving them with iPhone and Android devices and they do support AptX Adaptive on Android and other devices that are compatible with that audio codec. (They use the AAC audio codec for iPhones.)
• I streamed music using the Qobuz app, which does offer high-resolution files. I connected the headphones via USB-C to a couple of Android phones as well as a MacBook Pro (you switch into DAC mode to go wired). Focal threw in a USB-C to Lighting adapter with my review sample so I could go wired with iOS devices, but that adapter isn’t included with the retail version of the headphones, which is a shame (a pack of two Apple MiFi-certified adapters costs $20 on Amazon).  
• Going wired gives you a slight bump up in sound quality (it does help to stream high-resolution audio files for optimal sound). In wired mode, the headphones deliver up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution. But the headphones also sound quite impressive in wireless mode with excellent clarity, detail, accuracy and powerful, well-defined bass. They have a spacious soundstage (for a closed-back headphone) and allow you to hear each instrument distinctly in complicated tracks where several instruments are playing at the same time. They’re what I call “revealing” headphones that will make bad recordings sound worse and good recordings sound even better.   
• The Bathys use Aluminum-Magnesium speaker drivers while Focal’s higher-end wired headphones have Beryllium drivers that offer even more clarity and accuracy with the right setup.  
• The headphones fold flat (but don’t fold up) into a nice carry case. Along with the USB-C to USB-C cable you also get a standard 3.5 mm analog headphone cable for use with in-flight entertainment systems. The cables are of basic quality and do not match the premium look of the headphones. 
• Overall, I was pleased with the voice-calling performance. Callers said I sounded good and could hear me well on the noisy streets of New York, where they heard some background sound leak in, but the noise reduction was good. They measure up well to the Master & Dynamic MW75 ($599) for voice calling and while they may not be exceptionally good like the Sony WH-1000XM5 for voice calls, you shouldn’t be disappointed with the telephony performance. That can sometimes be the case with headphones that tout sound quality first. 
• With a press of button, they offer access to either Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or other phone voice assistant (Siri or Bixby, for instance). 
• An equalizer in the companion app for iOS and Android allows you to tweak the sound profile. Since these are an audiophile headphone, you can expect a flat default sound profile. Depending on what I was listening to, I ended up boosting the bass a bit.
• Battery life is solid at up to 30 hours, with a quick charge feature that gives you 5 hours of use with a 15-minute charge.
• The headphones can’t be used in passive mode. You have to power them on, so if the battery dies, you need to charge them to use them.

The headphones fold flat but don’t fold up. A nice carrying case is included.

David Carnoy/CNET

In recent months, we’ve seen an increasing number of “high-fidelity” active noise-canceling wireless headphones released following the launch of Apple’s AirPods Max, which list for $549 but frequently sell for $479 or less. There’s the aforementioned Master & Dynamic MW75, the Mark Levinson No. 5909 ($999) and the just-announced Bowers and Wilkins PX8, which I haven’t tried yet but lists for $699. 

They’re all great headphones but in terms of pure sound quality, the Bathys may be the best of the bunch and I particularly liked the built-in DAC and the ability to switch easily between wired and wireless modes.  

Which headphones to choose so as not to regret buying

Likbez

Devices

November 3, 2022

In addition to a bunch of numbers in the list of characteristics, you need to pay attention to a number of other features that are unique to different types of headphones.

1. Prioritize

When shopping for headphones, it’s important to understand that any choice you make will be a compromise in some way. Only the right priorities will make it possible to find the optimal solution that meets the main requirements. It is conditionally possible to single out three criteria, from which we will have to build on. It’s about affordability, portability and, of course, sound quality.

These three terms can be represented as a triangular petal diagram, where the growth of one petal means the reduction of the other two.

Thus, choosing the best sound quality means the maximum price tag and the rejection of portability. Likewise, a good ultra-portable wireless headset won’t sound the best, nor is it likely to be cheap. That is why it is important to highlight at least one of the criteria that you are willing to sacrifice.

2. Decide why you need headphones

Headphones, like any gadget, are bought for certain tasks and purposes. You need to understand when and how you will use them. The choice of the type of headphones depends on the usage scenarios.

Home and office

For work and home use, full-size headsets like the JBL Tune 760NC are commonly purchased, which provide full coverage of the auricle and the most comfortable fit on the head. This type is the best way to listen to music for a long time.

You can also consider on-ear headphones, which, due to their smaller cups, are usually more compact than full-size ones. They do not clasp the auricle, but are superimposed on top. A striking example is Sony WH-CH510 or JBL Live 460NC.

The most popular office headphones are closed acoustic models. They have the best sound insulation, so your music will not be heard by others. The open type is suitable for home use. These earphones have holes on the outside of the cups that allow sound vibrations to propagate in the same way as in the natural environment, making the sound more realistic.

When choosing over-ear or over-ear headphones, don’t underestimate the importance of ear cushion material. Velor or even synthetics make the ears not sweat as much as artificial or natural leather.

Urban

For simple outings, the previously mentioned on-ear headphones can be used. But when it comes to moving on the subway and traveling in other public transport, in-ear headphones, also called earplugs, will be the best choice. They are compact, as convenient as possible to use and do not create problems when driving in a dense stream of people. Among inexpensive wired ones, a good option in terms of price-quality ratio is Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Pro HD. Slightly more expensive – Sony MDR-XB55AP.

Headphones of this type are usually complemented by silicone ear tips of various sizes, so that each user can choose the right one. Also quite popular are nozzles made of porous foam, which, heated by body heat, adapt to the human ear canal. Compared to silicone, they are less durable, but almost do not distort the sound.

Fully wireless earphones are also worth highlighting. There are a lot of earbuds like Apple AirPods and Huawei FreeBuds 4, as well as earplugs with silicone tips – Apple AirPods Pro 2, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 or Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro.

Accessories of this type provide maximum freedom of movement, but they are also quite expensive. In addition, there is a high risk of simply losing them, especially in the subway.

Sports

In-ear wireless headsets are commonly used for running and the gym. They can have neck-mounted temples or ear cups with hooks for a better fit inside the ear, like the Beats Fit Pro.

Photo: Beats

Most of these headsets are sweat-resistant and even fully submersible, allowing you to swim while listening to your favorite music.

Sometimes Bluetooth sports headphones are equipped with sensors to track physical activity, as is the case with Amazfit PowerBuds. In part, these headsets can replace the usual fitness trackers.

Travel

If you’re a frequent flyer and like to listen to music on the go, consider an active noise canceling headset. More often these are large full-size headphones, which can be either wired or wireless. Their ability to cut off external sounds allows you to immerse yourself in your favorite music, even if a restless child is sitting next to you.

An important feature of the travel headsets is the foldable design. It allows the headphones to take up much less space and reduces the risk of damage when transporting in a bag. Expensive models are often supplemented with a hard case for better protection. For example, the top-end Sony WH-1000XM4 and the Bose QuietComfort 45 have one.

For gaming

The choice of gamers is full-size circumaural headphones with a built-in or detachable microphone. An important criterion when choosing is the presence of surround sound technology, like the HyperX Cloud Alpha S models. Simulating a 7.1 configuration will be a big advantage in 3D action games, where you often have to navigate in space by ear.

Image: HyperX

Most gaming headphones feature a long 2 meter cord. It is important that it has a reliable braid and rigid thickenings at the plugs, excluding kinks and possible kinks.

Noise reduction is also an important parameter. In this case, this applies to both headphones and a microphone, so that you are not distracted by external factors, and you can be heard well.

3. Check out the basic specifications

Regardless of the type and class, all headphones have basic technical specifications that allow you to form an idea of ​​​​sonic possibilities. When choosing relatively inexpensive headsets, you shouldn’t take such numbers too seriously, but you shouldn’t leave them unattended either.

Frequency range

This parameter characterizes the range of sounds that the headphones can reproduce. The standard range is 20 – 20,000 Hz. Human hearing simply does not recognize more, although in the description of headsets one can often find meanings that go beyond these limits. There is nothing wrong with this, but it cannot be called an indisputable advantage either.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity indicates how loud the headphones will play, all other things being equal. The dependence is direct: the higher the sensitivity, the higher the maximum volume. 95-100dB or more is considered good for general use.

Power

This parameter also affects the headphone volume ceiling, but it should be taken into account only by bass lovers using stationary amplifiers. When paired with a quality sound source, high-powered headphones deliver richer, richer sound. If you are going to listen to music mainly from a smartphone, you are unlikely to be able to unleash the potential of high power.

Impedance

The nominal impedance at the headphone input, also called impedance, affects both loudness and overall sound quality. You need to focus on this parameter in accordance with the device with which you are going to use the headphones. For smartphones and portable equipment, you should select headsets with a lower impedance – up to 32 or even 16 ohms, and for stationary equipment – with a higher one, from 32 ohms.

Frequency response

The frequency response is displayed as a graph and characterizes the transmission quality of various frequencies.

1 / 0

Beats Solo3 frequency response. Raised bass, sagging midrange (Mid Range) and almost no upper treble (High-Treble) / rtings.com

2 / 0

Sony MDR-100AAP frequency response. The “hump” in the low-frequency region indicates the bassiness of the headphones (Bass Range), while at high frequencies there is clearly an imbalance with a strong dip in the upper ones / rtings. com

3 / 0

AKG K701 frequency response. A clear lack of bass (left third of the chart), raised mid-treble frequencies (Mid-Treble) and a dip in the upper treble / rtings.com

The minimum number of sharp bends in the frequency response curve indicates the balance of sound and the accuracy of the transmission of the original audio material. The height of the curve on the graph reflects the volume in a particular range. The “hump” at the beginning of the frequency response curve, at low frequencies, indicates the bassiness of the headphones.

Plug

It should also be noted how wired headphones are connected. Most models on sale have a mini-jack plug (3.5 mm). A regular jack (6.3 mm) can be found on professional-level headsets, and a micro jack (2.5 mm) has hardly been found lately.

4. Listen and read

Of course, you should not blindly rely on all the numbers in the characteristics, especially if you choose an inexpensive model. Two headsets with equal parameters can sound completely different, since many other features also affect the quality, which are not always indicated by the manufacturer in the description.

You can find out for sure whether the headphones you choose are right for you by listening to them beforehand. This applies to covering and overhead headsets, which specialized stores often allow you to test even before purchase. This is a chance to appreciate not only the sound, but also the comfort of landing on your head.

Also, before buying, you should definitely refer to the reviews and full reviews that can be found on the Web. Such feedback allows you to get at least some idea of ​​the real sound quality, design features and possible weaknesses of the device, identified after prolonged use.

Buyer’s checklist

1. First, decide on the maximum price and the main use case.
2. Next, based on the purpose, select the type of headphones: covering, on-ear or in-ear.
3. Choose from several models of a specific type that fit your budget.
4. Evaluate the important features of these models: the material of the ear pads, the design of the headband, the materials used, and so on.
5. Learn the technical parameters that characterize the sound quality.
6. Read online reviews and reviews and see if you can test your headphones before buying.
7. Make your choice.

The classic look of on-ear headphones is two small speakers in foam ear cushions, whose position on the rim (headband) is adjustable.

Sound isolation leaves much to be desired, but the sound quality can pleasantly surprise you at high volume and a powerful radiator.

In addition, on-ear headphones are considered to be more useful for hearing than in-ear and in-ear headphones.

pay attention?

When purchasing headphones, there are several important technical specifications of the :

• Impedance (resistance) . This indicator, as a rule, ranges from 16 to 600 ohms for devices for various purposes. More in this case does not mean better. A lot depends on the source of the sound. For most stationary devices, headphones with an indicator from 32 to 300 ohms are enough. The lower the power of the sound source, the lower the impedance of the headphones.
• Sensitivity . Directly affects the maximum volume level that the headphones can provide. The higher the value, the louder the sound.
• Frequency range . The area of ​​reliable reproduction of the audio signal. The human ear usually perceives frequencies in the range of 20-20,000 Hz, but this figure can vary from person to person.
• Degree of sound distortion . The optimal coefficient of non-linear distortion is less than 2%. At low frequencies, sound distortion is less noticeable than at high frequencies, so high values ​​\u200b\u200bof this parameter are allowed here.
