2025 What do you want out of a pair of over-ear headphones? No, really. Like, what do you want? I don’t mean that as a challenge; I mean that as a threat. Personal audio is a serious thing, and you need to make a sound choice when you’re picking a device that protects you from the horrors of other people’s talking, other people’s music, or other people, generally speaking. But it’s not that simple. If choosing over-ear headphones were based solely on sound, then we’d be walking around with ugly
