These headphones won a Mashable Choice Award and scored high for full and clear audio, customizable sound, and great noise cancellation. Plus, they look great on, sporting that larger, "can" look that AirPods Max ushered into fashion.

In her review, Deputy Editor Miller Kern said, "These are probably the best-sounding headphones I’ve ever tried."
