If you’re in the mood to splash some cash, Apple's AirPods Max are some of the best sounding wireless headphones we’ve heard. And with the added bonus of noise-cancelling and onboard microphones, they’re ideal for work and play. 📸: APPLE wired.trib.al/sHhywhJ 2/8 Image
For something a little more retro (and wallet-friendly) the Koss Porta Pro headphones combine great sound with an 80s aesthetic - which is why they’ve been an on-ear staple for decades. And at $36 they’re the perfect stocking stuffer. 📸:KOSS trib.al/0WWoDuR 3/8 Image
