Engadget's holiday headphone guide
Like their back to school guide, it’s kind of a shit show here.
- Headphones with a built-in music player don’t sound like a bright idea to me.
- The Klipsch S4i still isn’t that great.
- I’ve seen nothing to indicate that AiAiAi’s headphones are worth considering.
- They’re pushing the mediocre B&W C5.
- The entire guide is a jumbled mess. The way to buy headphones is to decide on a form factor and then look for the combination of a budget-fitting price and good-for-the-money performance, not to go with a completely different type of model depending on your budget.
- I wouldn’t expect much from those Nokia headphones.
- Not sure the Sony is a particularly good noise canceling model.
If you’re looking for holiday headphone buying advice, I know where you can find a really good holiday headphone buyer’s guide.
