Dec 19, 2019 · The Audeze LCD-1 are open-back planar magnetic over-ear headphones with a sleek design that's more reminiscent of casual headphones than most other typical audiophile-centric over-ears.

Available in black, gray, or white, were it not for the boom mic, the Evolve2 65 would look very much like a pair of supra-aural (on-ear) headphones. The earpads are lined with a perforated leather-like material, behind which are 40mm drivers delivering a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz. The overall fit is lightweight and secure, with plush, silicone-coated foam cushioning on the inside of the headband for added comfort. Swiveling the boom mic upward fully mutes the mic, while swinging the mic down unmutes it and answers an incoming call. The right earcup houses a three-button array on its side panel, with the middle button controlling playback (pausing automatically puts the headset in ambient listening mode so you can easily talk in person), and the outer buttons control volume up/down and track navigation. The middle button can also be used for answering/ending calls or opening a Microsoft Teams notification and launching the Microsoft Teams app. On the lower part of the panel,...

Mar 16, 2021 · The Marshall Monitor II ANC headphones are good at active noise cancelling, have a great build and design, are easy to use, and are perfect for commuters and frequent flyers alike.

Nov 23, 2020 · The Shure AONIC 215 ear hooks fit snugly behind the ears. The Shure AONIC 215 are unlike your average true wireless earbuds: most true wireless earbuds are a single unit, which means that all the hardware is built into each earbud, but that isn’t the case with the AONIC 215.

Available in black, blue, green, red, or white models, the 500BT's circumaural (over-ear) design features exceptionally comfortable memory foam on the earpads and the underside of the headband. The outer earcup panels are matte plastic, and the headband is covered in fabric. Large JBL logos are emblazoned on the outer panels of both earcups, and they are both Live buttons—more on that in a moment. There are controls located along the side panel of the right earcup. There's a power/pairing switch that includes a status LED, a multifunction button that controls playback and call management, and plus/minus buttons that adjust the volume when tapped or track navigation when held. We're not fans of combining these two functions on the same button, as it's too easy to skip a track accidentally when you mean to adjust the volume. You can also summon voice assistants with the multifunction button, though the outer panels also allows for this. There's an Ambient Aware button, as well as a Bl...
