10 HEADPHONES ON TEST

HOW WE TESTED

We ran each of the headphones through the same batch of songs, which varied in genre from rock, pop, electronic, metal, ambient, folk, and so on. We tested each pair of headphones via Bluetooth to both our Google Pixel 2 (running Android 9) and a MacBook Pro 2017, again with the same array of songs downloaded to the devices as 320kbps MP3s. In the case of ANC, we compared the results of different headphones in the same control environments: a small office, a busy intersection, a harbour foreshore, and an average street.
