Whether you're a picky audiophile, gym rat, or just in it for the vibes, we found a pair of headphones for you.

Our experts shopped for and tested headphones from the biggest brands on the market to determine which pairs are actually the best over-ear headphones to buy.

In our Sony WF-1000XM5 review, we loved how these small, stylish earbuds produced "100% bona fide Sony quality" sound, which is thanks to LDAC hi-res audio support and DSEE upscaling, something that helps low-quality audio files – such as those on Spotify – sound sharper.
