Product reviews, comparisons and buying guides

There is nothing worse than your headphones dying in the middle of a flight or a ranked match. For years, “good battery life” meant 20 or 30 hours.

Choosing a single pair of headphones for both gaming and music used to be almost impossible. Gaming headsets focused on microphones and flashy features, while music headphones delivered fidelity but ignored low-latency performance.

The “budget” audio market has exploded with high-end features. While flagship models get most of the marketing attention, brands like Anker, Sony, and Audio-Technica are releasing incredible value options that deliver 90% of the flagship performance.
