About a year and a half ago, Bose killed the wired version of this headphone too. This headphone regularly goes on sale, maybe because it now occupies an awkward space in the lineup, or maybe just to compete with Beats on price more aggressively.īose Soundlink On-Ear (~$249, if you can find one): I think this headphone was recently discontinued…but I wanted to mention it because it’s the most comfy on-ear model I’ve ever worn. But honestly, if you’re spending this much, strongly consider stepping up to their next model, which is more fully- featured. It’s a really solid headphone with a nice relaxed sound signature. Read My Review.īose Soundlink II Around-Ear (~$279): It’s basically a Bose QuietComfort 35, without the noise-cancellation. I got mine for just $129 from Amazon, which is a no-brainer price. Comfort is great for an on-ear thanks to memory foam pads, but like the Grind Wireless, this is not an all-day wear. The pairing process can be cumbersome, because you can’t easily manually force them into pairing mode to switch the current device. These headphones feature AptX and AAC support if you’ve got a device that can stream them, and they resolve enough detail that you’ll hear the improvement in compression. Just like the Crusher Wireless, the included auxiliary cable includes a remote button/mic so you don’t lose functionality. You’ll get exceptional audio clarity/accuracy.
BEST WIRELESS HEADSET FOR GAMING 2016 DRIVER
If accuracy is more your thing, then you might like the one below.Īudio-Technica SR5BT (~$179): The SR5BT takes the driver from Audio-Technica’s excellent MSR7 and crams it into a tiny wireless on-ear headphone. This has been on sale for as low as $100 which is completely nuts.
Its only negatives are that the clamping force is a little bit north of comfy, and the bass feature is absolutely NOT for those seeking accurate crisp reproduction. The build is solid, the included cable features a remote button and mic, and the included bag is nicer than it needs to be. You’re not getting any fancy codecs or touch control options…but the battery life is 40 hours and the bass enhancement feature is fun in a really stupid way. Skullcandy Crusher Wireless (~$200): Just like the Grind Wireless, this is an excellent deal, especially for bass fans. They regularly go on sale, and come in a variety of fun colors. There are other, cheaper wireless headphones out there, but I consider this the bare minimum for those looking for exceptional audio reproduction. It has an energetic first impression, but the mids aren’t so recessed that you’ll lose all the detail of your music. The sound is a great middle-ground between v-shaped and balanced. It’s comfy for an on-ear model, although you probably wouldn’t want to wear it all day. It has a standard 3.5mm jack for wired operation. It’s built from a solid mix of metal and plastic.
Skullcandy Grind Wireless (~$89): An exceptional bargain, just like the older wired version.
