Cyber Monday headphone deals FAQs
What headphones should I buy?
Headphones are available in different sizes and styles to meet different audio needs and budgets. Some people might favor large headphones with a wired connection to emphasize accurate sound performance, while others may prefer a compact wireless pair for added portability.
Over-ear headphones are larger than other styles and use earcups that cover your ears to produce a seal. This type of headphone is an ideal option for buyers who crave the best audio quality. Over-ear headphones also tend to provide the best active noise cancellation.
On-ear headphones are similar, but their earcups rest on your ear instead of creating a true seal over them. This enables on-ear models to be a bit smaller, but they’re not as good at blocking outside noise.
For people who prioritize portability, earbuds are the best fit since they use separate buds designed to rest just outside or within your ear canal. True wireless models are even better since they do away with cables entirely for a fully wireless experience.
