When it comes down to listening to music, headphones are probably the most used electronic for this task. It's a decades-old technology that is still going strong to this day. Everywhere you look someone has something plugged into their ear and with the affordable Black Friday deals popping up, expect a lot more.
Music is not the only thing headphones are used for these days. Folks who play video games tend to rock a headphone when they want to feel more immersed in a game or to block outside noise. Headphones are also used for when folks want to watch a movie at 12 a.m. without angering the roommate.
The real question is, which headphone should consumers grab come Black Friday when the deals begin to trickle down? It's not easy to pick one, so we're going to talk about several and then you decide from there, good? Great.
Grado Prestige Series SR325e
This beauty of a headphone is all about delivering that clear sound and sleek design. The cord is also sturdy, so users shouldn't come across problems in the short term. However, we should point out that if you're a bass person, then this headphone won't do you any good.
In terms of pricing, the Grado Prestige costs a cool $295.
Audio Technica ATH-MSR7
Audio Technica creates some of the best headphones available out there, and the ATH-MSR7 is a testament to that truth. This headphone might not be the sleekest in its design, but it comes with the ability to compete with many of the top headphones available. Furthermore, it only cost $249 to own, so great bang for your buck right there.
Sennheiser's HD 650
What we are looking at here is one of the best headphones ever created in the last 13-years. It has been selling for $500 on a regular basis, but with a new design comes a new temporary price. The Sennheiser's HD 650 can be had right now for $199. Bear in mind that Sennheiser has only created 5,000 of the new version of this headphone, so don't expect it to last. Go out and pick it up before the supply chain goes dark.
Philips Fidelio L2
One of the best headphones we've ever come across. It's designed for both home and mobile, and it's also a comfortable over-the-ear device that delivers decent enough bass for those who enjoy heavy beats in their ear drums. It's a great piece of kit, and it only cost a cool $180.
NAD Viso HP50
One of the problems with headphones these days is the fact that many are unable to provide accurate sound. The situation is similar to smartphone cameras where many fail to provide an accurate picture. For example, the colors are too intense, making the final outcome prettier than the real thing.
The NAD Viso HP50 aims to deliver accurate sound instead of heavy bass. With this, folks should be able to listen to music in the way they are meant to be heard.
