You don't have to spend a fortune on good headphones, but if you're willing to splurge a bit, this editor-loved pair is definitely worth considering. One of our staffers swears by them for everything from long walks and work calls to listening to music and podcasts. They even feature Spatial Audio personalization, making the sound feel immersive, like you're in a movie theater. Learn more in our Beats Studio Pro Headphones review.
Editor Quote: "There are two listening modes: fully-adaptive Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and Transparency mode. I'll be honest: I never once tried to use transparency mode on my AirPods, nor did I know it was an option until just recently. Nonetheless, it's super easy to switch between the two with the Beats Studio Pro headphones; you just double-press the power button (the same one you use to sync it with your other devices). The noise-cancellation effect is excellent; I'm able to hear when someone's speaking to me while canceling out background noise almost entirely." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing shopping editor
