The Editor’s Picks headphones have been chosen by our team as the best headphones that they liked most. Each editor has a personal preference which weights stronger when making their choice so they might have selected their Editor’s Picks Headphones because they consider it as the best budget earphone, top basshead earbud, best sounding in-ear headphone, best bang for the buck earphone / in-ear headphone or simply because they felt fond of it.
