Best 5 headphones

These headphones may be more than 23 years old and look decidedly like they were yanked straight off the set of Tron in 1982, but they're affordable and offer excellent sound quality and superior comfort. We say if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but if your PortaPros happen to break, Koss will replace them for free--for life.

Price:$39.48 - $41.92 (check prices)

Shure SE530 Sound Isolating Earphones

Travel-happy audiophiles will be infinitely pleased with the Shure SE530s, but these earbuds should also be a consideration for anyone who has $500 to drop on some sweet headphones. Sure, they're expensive, but the SE530s are also the most stellar-sounding earbuds we've come across since the $1,000 UE10 Pros. Discerning listeners take note.

Price:$314.46 - $449.99 (check prices)

Bose QuietComfort 3

With the QuietComfort 3s, Bose has done a remarkable job of shrinking its popular noise-canceling headphones while achieving similarly impressive sound quality, but that engineering feat doesn't come cheap. Still, if you're a frequent flier who doesn't like earbuds and wants the ultimate in comfort, you can't go wrong with these.

Price:$314.00 - $349.00 (check prices)
