"I really appreciated the chance to get to see your offices (where the magic happens) and the equipment demo and recommendations. I'll continue to pass on the good word about your site."

- Aaron B.   

"I just wanted to say that the picture of the unicorn you drew for me was so awesome it almost made me cry. I particularly love unicorns. They're just so beautiful and graceful, like a lamb, but less hairy."

Selection Guide: Ultimate Headphones

If Looking for World's Best Headphones, You've Come to the Right Place!

After 20 years of listening to and bench testing thousands of headphones of all stripes, HeadRoom knows "great" when we hear it. The following list represents many of the world's very best headphones. Historically, the top-performing headphones have been open designs, but lately some incredibly good closed-back headphones have appeared that rival open-back sound quality. Even some reference in-ear headphones can now be found on this list. Without question, all these headphones are good enough to warrant an excellent headphone amplifier for maximized acoustic detail, dynamics, and musical resolution.
