Sound: Obviously. Do they sound good?  Comfort & Design: Are they nice to wear?  Features: Is the battery good? Is the connectivity reliable? What’s the noise-cancelling like? Vibe: What’s the overall experience like?  Value: Are they good for the money?

While audio products can be quite subjective for many reasons, we have standardised testing procedures across the team designed to help us look at the category in a consistent way, and give you the best earbud recommendations possible.  Check out some of the earbuds we’ve reviewed below:  The playlist covers a wide range of genres, spanning from saccharine pop to progressive death metal. These songs have been carefully curated to test certain sonic characteristics.  Check out the playlist below. It slaps, if I do say so myself.  Some of the questions we consider as part of our editorial testing include:

Do they pass the headbang bang test?  Are there on bud controls and are they any good? How big is the case? 

How long is the battery?  Is there noise cancelling and is it any good?  Is connectivity reliable?  Do they have an ambient mode?  Are they splash-resistant? 

When looking at price during the review process, we always refer to retail price as a baseline - even if there might be temporary discounts available.
