I Test Headphones for a Living — Here’s the 3 Pairs I Recommend Most

Meze 105 AER headphones.

Different headphones are designed for different tasks. Some are supposed to work well when you're heading to work, keeping out the annoying noise of your commute. Others are aimed at making your music sound as good as possible, but suffer when there's noise around you. Then there are models that are going to make long-distance travel more comfortable.

There's very rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. There are some that get close — one of which is featured below — but nothing fills every bill completely. As a result, I've created what I call the "three headphone garage." That way, you've got a pair of headphones for every use case.
