What should you check before buying headphones this Independence Day?

Focus on these three specifications before choosing your headphones:

• On-ear vs over-ear: On-ear headphones are lighter and more compact, making them convenient for commutes and casual listening. Over-ear models enclose the ear, offering better sound isolation and comfort for longer sessions.
• Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): ANC uses microphones to detect and reduce external noise. It is particularly useful for commuters, office users, and frequent travellers who regularly listen in noisy environments.
• Battery life: Wireless headphones can offer anywhere from around 30 to over 80 hours of playback. ANC can reduce the stated battery life, so also look for fast charging if you frequently listen on the go.

Pro tip: Driver size can influence bass response and sound output. Models with 40 mm drivers are common across headphones.

What do the different headphone brands offer at every price point?

Each headphone brand has different strengths, making it easier to shortlist according to your budget and listening habits:
