I make no secret about my love of headphones. I like ones that sit on your head and let all the noise out (deliberately), so that the soundstage is wider and so that everyone around me can hear what horrifically unsuitable piece of grim death metal I'm pumping into my earholes. I like the kind that jam directly into my lugs, their little silicon ear tips sealing even more unsuitable crushingly heavy tunes. I even like the ones that sit in between, not letting too much noise out, but not restricting how much of the outside noise I can hear. Look, I just really like headphones, ok?

To that end, I've tested a lot of headphones. I own a lot of headphones — and I know what you should be looking out for when you're looking to spend some money on a pair. Over Prime Day, there are some great opportunities to pick up some new headphones — whether you want in-ear ones, open-back ones (although, sadly, there are none on this list), or wireless over-ears.
