Beats is a huge name in the audio world, but if you’re sticking to a budget, Beats products might not be the most viable option — unless they go on sale.

The Solo3 headphones handle up to 40 hours of battery life, but it don’t take forever to charge up. Plugging in for five minutes yields three hours of playback. Class 1 Bluetooth connectivity and award-winning sound make these the ideal everyday headphones. Read more…

Dolby Dimension

The Good
Really well-built and comfy to wear • Great sound with neat ambient listening mode • Snazzy magnetic wireless charging dock
The Bad
Expensive • Can feel heavy for long use • Audio lags for some streaming services like YouTube • Included pouch dumps dust and lint onto headphones
The Bottom Line
Dolby’s first wireless headphones ooze high-end, but audio latency for certain video services and a high price tag make them a hard sell.

Unlike your eyes that you can just wire shut when you don’t want to see something, or your nose that you can simply pinch when you get a whiff of a funky stench, you need special equipment for your ears if you refuse to listen to something unpleasant — say, a wailing toddler or the Baby Shark song.

Get ready for the Alexa headphone explosion.
Up till now, there haven’t been too many headphones that integrate Amazon Alexa. There are certainly some you can buy — from high-end noise-canceling cans that fit over the ears to true-wireless models — but even when Alexa is present, its abilities are limited to a subset of what it can do on an Echo smart speaker.
That’s about to change in a big wayQualcomm has developed an audio chipset specifically for headphones to integrate digital assistants like Alexa, and a reference design that incorporates the technology: a neckband-style pair of headphones lets you call up Amazon’s digital assistant at the touch of a button.
