The Headphones Directory
Stereo Headphones
Stereo Headphones are the primary method for listening to portable music. Our headphone reviews compare the price and sound quality of reference headphones from a wide range of manufacturers. We hear the difference, if you listen you will too!
Wireless Headphones
Wireless Headphones play games and music without any cables. Wireless operation is achieved using a 900 Mhz signal or with Bluetooth. Our wireless headphone reviews show you how to find convenience and sound quality in your wireless listening.
Noise Reduction Headphones
Noise Reduction Headphones block ambient noise from the listener’s music. Our headphone reviews evaluate each pair's noise reducing capabilities, be it headphones that electronically “noise cancel” or in-ear monitors that physically block out sound.
Surround Sound Headphones
Surround Sound Headphones bring the home theater experience anywhere, or so they claim. The 5.1 headphone is evolving from a poor simulation to an actual surround experience created with differently positioned speaker drivers in each ear piece.
DJ Headphones
DJ Headphones aren't just for spinning records. We review DJ headphones that reproduce powerful bass for the club without loosing studio monitor sound quality. Rugedized and stylish, the earpads even swivel for stereo or single ear listening.
Earphones
Earphones have become the generic word for anything portable that is supported by the ear. Everything from earbuds that rest in the outer ear to in-ear monitors that are inserted into the ear canal for isolated listening. The term “ear phone” often implies cheap.
DAC
DAC (aka DAC) can bring pristine audiophile quality sound to a digital device. Most players use a simple chip (keeping size and price down) to allow your headphones to receive in analog; add a USB DAC and you really hear a difference!
Headphone Amplifiers
Headphone Amplifiers are designed to increase sound signal volume to headphones. Because these amp’s serve only that purpose, they remove dreaded hiss and audio distortion. A headphone amp is often needed to drive reference class headphones.
