KLIPSCH

Featuring more than 30 brands, the headphones category is another hotly contested Readers’ Choice category. After tallying the votes, Klipsch is the winner this year with 37% of the votes, comfortably beating last year’s and five-time winner Sennheiser (which is now in third place). To recap, Klipsch’s flagship headphones are the Reference On-Ear, and a new version 2 was just announced this past December. Moving down the ladder, we’ve the Reference R6 On-Ear and Reference R6i On-Ear, the key difference being the latter having a remote control. Bose, maker of the excellent QC35 noise-canceling headphones, is second with 11%.
