Headphones

Sometimes you need to focus and block out distractions; whether you're studying, working or just want to concentrate on music, or podcasts, noise cancelling headphones can help you. From in-ear, to over ear, there are dozens of noise cancelling headphones out there, but before you begin your search, why not start with the top picks, as reviewed by Best Buy customers?

I discovered so many amazing gadgets, including VR headsets, tech toys, audio tech, and more at Best Buy's Life and Tech show—come see what I tried!

Over ear headphones are great for a variety of activities. Whether you’re watching TV, travelling on a plane, commuting on public transit or just trying to block out noise at the office, they can be super helpful. But where do you start when you're shopping for a new pair? There are so many brands, styles and features, so why not let other customers' favourite purchases guide you?

 Headphones designed for runners and athletes are all about staying in place during your activity. Whether it’s cushioned foam holding earbuds in, or clips or bands that can help keep things steady, if your primary use for headphones is sports, you’ll want to be sure they come with the ability to hold them in place. But there are other cool features you can find built right into headphones, including water or sweat resistance, heart rate monitoring, personal coaching, and more.    

 Jaybird’s X2 Bluetooth Wireless earbuds have been a top choice for fitness enthusiasts, and for good reason. No wires connecting to your mobile device, excellent fit, sweat-proof design, decent battery life and high quality sound. The new Jaybird Freedom earbuds take the X2’s best features to the next level, with a new micro size metal design for improved fit and sound, and a clip-on external battery for 8-hours of use between charges.

 I test a lot of headphones, and while just about any pair you get will insert music into your ears, when it comes to higher priced headphones, you want to make sure the sound quality is top notch. Do the new Sony MDR-XB950BT over-ear wireless headphones deliver?

 Do you like music that rattles your bones with the sound of thundering bass? Are you also someone that likes your music on the go and personal? Then you might appreciate the new Sony MDR-XB650BT Wireless Headphones with Extra Bass (that’s what the “XB” stands for). I got the chance to demo a pair of these new wireless phones, so read on to find out if they’re worth the good Sony audio name, and if you should be switching over to these babies.

   I rarely go anywhere without a pair of headphones on me. I guess I just live by the motto that everything in life is more fun when you’re listening to great music. Whether I’m behind my laptop, working out, or even just grocery shopping, I’m almost always tuned in. So you can imagine how excited I was to get the chance to test and review the Beats Solo 2 Wireless On-Ear Headphones. Not only are they Beats, which I’ve been itching to try, but are wireless too!    

 Music can be an essential part of your fitness experience. The very worst part? Cables; That’s why I like Bluetooth headsets, but I’ve had trouble finding a pair that is comfortable enough to rock every time I go out. I’ve found that pair now: The Jaybird X2 are the best Bluetooth buds I’ve used. Wanna know why? Read on to find out.
