Best Headphones For Christmas 2019

Headphones come in all shapes and sizes, which makes sense seen as so do ears. Some people take picking a new set very seriously and with so much choice it can quickly become confusing. You can get on-ear headphones that simply sit on top of the ear, over-ear headphones that encapsulate the ear all the way around and in-ear headphones where the bud go into the ear canal. These can simply lodge in or be held in by hooking over the top of the ear.

As well as choosing what type of modal will best suit your needs you also have to consider your budget? Headphones have one of the largest differences in prices of almost anything on the market. A cheap pair can cost as little as £5.99 whereas a top of the line pair can set you back almost £300. The question is do the cheap ones work well enough and are the super expensive ones worth the money?
We’ve had a look at some of the top headsets currently available and have chosen some of our favourites. Take a look below.
