Top 5 Best High Quality Headphones (Over-ear)

Ever since I was a child, I have loved headphones. They allow you to get lost in music in a way that a speaker system just doesn’t. As I have progressed through life, the technology has made dramatic advances and my needs for acoustic fidelity have become greater and more exacting. High quality headphones should be very comfortable to wear and provide superior sound quality, including a clear sound without distortion, an even frequency response, and deep, controlled bass. I hope you enjoy and find my selections for the top 5 best high quality headphones useful. I have focused on over-ear style headphones for this list.

Sennheiser have been deliberately designed the HD800 to replicate the fundamental acoustics of natural hearing and these superior high quality headphones have a performance level that is unmatched. If you love music and have the money, these Sennheiser HD800 headphones are a must – but be warned, once you have experienced them you will never be able to go back to lesser headphones!

These headphones from Denon are a thing of sheer beauty, which partner current transducer technology and crafted mahogany housings to produce headphones that look and feel classy, as well as delivering high quality acoustical performance. For audiophiles though, it is the bass that is the main appeal, no other phones have bass extension like the AH-D7000.

The ATH-W5000 headphones are comfortable, stylish, and more importantly, they provide a soundstage which is both wide and full of depth. They are especially good for female vocals and acoustic music which give you a clear as a bell sound without the bass being overwhelming. In short they are classic Audio-Technica headphones.

Black cherry wood housings give these headphones from Audiophile awesome natural playback. The plug is gold-plated with a high elastic Elastomer sheath and PC-OCC conductor cord. These Audiophile headphones are comfy to wear and provide superior sound quality.

One of the great things about these headphones from Denon is just how comfy they are, the big earpieces fit all the way around your ears with soft, thick leatherette pads resting on your head, rather than your ears. The sound quality is excellent too, helped by the Acoustic Optimizer technology and reference-quality 5-45,000Hz frequency response.
