Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7NC SonicPro High-Resolution Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation – User Report Review
These new headphones add active noise cancellation to an outstanding and award-winning over-ear model from Audio-Technica. The sound is exceptional in the midrange through the treble, with a tight and accurate bass that supports the primary frequencies above. Comfort, weight, and build quality are very good, with decent passive sound isolation when active external sound abatement isn’t necessary.

Puro BT5200 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone – Review
Going right to the sound. In Bluetooth mode, the BT5200’s bass is not especially emphasized as are many popular headphones, but that bass goes ultra-deep with a strong weight, even to 16 Hz. The mids aren’t forward, and are slightly soft, as is the treble (slightly, with good detail).

1More Crystal Piston In-Ear Headphone – 2 Pack Model EO301 – Review
About a year ago I decided I was done with in-ear headphones. I’d tried at least 20 products in recent years and was never fully satisfied until I plugged a pair of these remarkable 1More headphones into my ears. I listened to pop, classical, ragtime. opera, folk. You name it, I added it to the mix. I was so impressed I found it hard to believe the company is selling them for $80 for two. It’s a great value.

MediaDevil Artisanphonics EB-01 luxury wood earphones with built-in microphone – Review
I’ve had reasonable luck with iPhone headphones. For the most part they last a fair while and sound okay, not really giving me much reason to look for alternatives. Until recently that is, where another cable catching on a door handle proved just too much damage, leaving me with audio in only one ear.

Audio Technica ATH-AD900X Over-Ear Headphones – User Report Review
These moderately-priced over-ear headphones are large, comfortable, lightweight, and bizarre in appearance. Sound performance is good to very good, depending upon your listening settings and personal audio standards. They do not have the claimed extraordinary sound quality to satisfy the most discriminating listeners, despite the company’s statements. But keep reading; it gets better.
