7 Things to Look For when shopping for the Best Headphones under $50-$25

There was a time when the home entertainment system ruled the way we experience media, with monstrous subwoofers and towers, surround systems, and tangles of AV and coaxial cables. But today, the whole world lives in our pockets, and we pipe it all in through our ears.

With 91 percent of Americans owning cell phones and 55 percent owning smartphones, it’s clear that mobile devices dominate how we experience information and entertainment, whether that’s music, news, video, audiobooks or podcasts. So how you get that audio to your ears has never been a more important decision, making a real impact on how your enjoyment, your peace of mind, your comfort and even appearance. And yet, in contrast to most personal electronics, many people struggle to grasp just what makes a good set of headphones. So often, consumers just chug along with their default pair, or worse, churn through crappy replacements as they get mangled or just never sound quite right.

I've compiled everything I've learned in my combined years of near-constant headphone use, and tireless research on what makes a good set of headphones.

We set out to make a product that we love and are excited to use, driven by our own design aesthetic, not market research. With Tweedz, that meant spending countless hours pouring over Pantone colors and reviewing braiding patterns to finalize the perfect product design. Finally, then comes the day of reckoning. For an artist, it’s a gallery showing or an album release, for us it’s a new product launch. Seeing people respond positively to the new product is exhilarating, and even just one positive online review gives you a rush for days and makes the whole process worthwhile.
