Get the Grado SR60.

HeadRoom's 10 Best Headphones

This is where we boil down all our headphone knowledge to its bare essence and recommend just ten (or so) headphones... So, in cost order, here they are:

Our favorite inexpensive, general purpose, portable-application 'sealed/closed' headphone is the AKG K26P (or it's sibling AKG K27-i) model. It sounds good, collapses down to easily tuck away in it’s included pouch, and it features a sealed-earcup [a.k.a "closed"] construction to provide a nice degree of external/ambient noise-blocking. For a little better sound, but without the ambient seal, have a look at the Koss Porta Pro or the equally good sounding, but better-looking, Sennheiser PX100.

The Grado SR60 has long been the recommended entry point for folks looking for great sound from an affordably-priced headphone. Probably our favorite can in the Grado line, the SR60 model likely delivers the best overall sound quality under $100. Sure it’s not the best-looking pair of headphones, but you're not going to mind looking a bit old-school with a whole noggin full of awesome sound.

Its bargain $99 price tag makes the Sennheiser HD280 Pro the official “go-to” recommendation for full-sized, sealed headphones. Obviously, great sound will win our heart over every time but a very good seal, plus the ability to fold up into a fairly small bundle, make these headphones a really spectacular buy.

Frequent travelers know that in-ear-monitors (IEMs) provide far better isolation and sound quality than 'noise-canceling' or sealed-design headphones. About the best thing to ever happen to an iPod, the Ultimate Ears super.fi 3 is a nice mix of good audio performance, great sound isolation, and super-low price.

Shure’s IEMs have perhaps been a little hit-and-miss in the past--- ABSOLUTELY no longer! Their E4C not only sound really terrific but the entire build quality/ergonomics/looks equation is a total winner. These cans are both punchy and well-detailed through the midranges, an unusual mix for IEMs at this price.

Moving on to full-size audiophile headphones, for a slightly 'quicker' or more forward-sounding and really lively top-of-the-line headphone, the Sennheiser HD 595 comes close to it’s ultra-refined, smooth-sounding, upscale big brother HD 650 in overall audio performance but provides a bit more "up-front," less laid-back sound. Its ultra-efficient 50-ohm operation is also a big plus and rare in high-end headphones.

The newest incarnation of AKG’s top-of-the-line headphone is the K701 and, boy, does it sound amazing! After a very lengthy initial break-in period, the K-701's sound becomes textured, refined and punchy---a totally uncommon combination of sonic characteristics. Match it up with a world class HeadRoom headphone amplifier and a high-end reference source, and we guarantee you one of the purest high-end listening experiences you’ve ever had!
