HeadRoom's 10 Best Headphones

We review hundreds of headphones every year to find the best headphones to sell. Our brain-trust of headphone professionals conducts in-depth listening tests, measure their performance in accordance with industry standards, and evaluate build quality, styling, and fit.

Headphones are assigned an all-around value rating according to these criteria and in respect to their price.  Visit our Learning Center for more information about HeadRoom's Test Lab and in-depth headphone information.

As a result of all this evaluation, sometimes we come across a simply outstanding headphone that we just can't quit talking about. Since value is an important criteria when rating headphones, sometimes they're $30 and sometimes they're $1300. Following is our list of the Best Headphones in 2010.
