Top 10 best new headphones
10 JBL Quantum 300
Country: USA
Average price: 4990 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Memory-effect ear pads, a directional microphone with voice enhancement, JBL QuantumSOUND Signature technology that creates a realistic sound environment - these are not all the advantages of the novelty with which the manufacturer lures users. Neodymium drivers with a diameter of 50 mm provide optimal acoustic parameters for gaming. Headphones support a working connection with PCs, smartphones, MacOS computers, VR equipment and all popular consoles: Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch.
This is a relatively inexpensive, but capable gaming model that recreates an immersive soundstage. The headphones are wired, ergonomically designed - you won't get tired, even if you sit in them for many hours in a row. An important nuance is that the model is adapted for Windows 10, and if you have an older version of the OS installed, the sound will be sharp and without pronounced positioning.
9 Google Pixel Buds TWS
Country: USA
Average price: 10990 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Incredibly compact wireless Bluetooth headphones that work perfectly in conjunction with the Google Assistant. With them, you can call an assistant without using your hands - only by voice. Matte plastic case - looks modest and at the same time expensive. They sit tightly in the ears, they do not cause discomfort. They look minimalistic and unusual; in reviews, bloggers compare them in appearance with a decorative accessory.
The Pixel Buds TWS make it easy to have a conversation: almost no noise leaks into the conversation, two microphones pick up your speech, and voice accelerometers follow the movements of your jaw to determine at what moment you are talking. A nice bonus is that the headphones can be paired with up to six devices.The main disadvantage is that if you listen to music loudly, the people around you will hear it too (this is due to ventilation holes through which sound seeps through).
8 Harman/Kardon FLY TWS
Country: USA
Average price: 11990 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
One of the most promising new products among fans of the Harman/Kardon brand. The manufacturer pleased not only with the premium model and expensive sound, but also with convenient functions. So, there is Fast Pair, a technology thanks to which the headphones connect to an Android smartphone as soon as you take them out of the case.
The Ambient Aware feature allows you to listen to the world around you without taking your headphones out of your ears. And TalkThru gives you the ability to instantly turn down the volume of your music so you can have a word with someone.

Without recharging, the headphones can work up to 6 hours, and the case provides another 14 hours of battery life. For control, touch panels are organized on the front sides of the droplets. FLY TWS can be connected to two audio sources at the same time.
7 Marshall Monitor II A.N.C.
Country: Great Britain
Average price: 24990 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The purest sounding headphones with ANC, dynamic drivers and over-ear design. The speakers are characterized by a diameter of 40 mm, impedance 32 ohms, frequency range - from 20 to 20,000 Hz. The main body material is plastic, but it looks expensive, pleasant to the touch, on the outside of the cups it imitates leather. The headband is covered with leather, soft, with a comfortable fit.Pleases the maximum battery life - as much as 45 hours. Headphones are charged for 2 hours via USB Type-C.
Control is via Marshall's signature mechanical joystick, which is located on the right cup. It has five positions and supports pressing. A separate key on the left earcup enables Active Noise Cancellation and Sound Transparency modes. The sound is soft, enveloping, with slightly reduced high frequencies.
6 Sennheiser HD450BT
Country: Germany
Average price: 11789 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
A full-size novelty of a closed type, working via Bluetooth and wired with a 3.5 mm jack. Headphones are charged via USB Type-C. Great for listening to music from a smartphone, and for connecting to a PC. Users say in the reviews that the soundproofing in the subway copes completely even with active noise reduction turned off.
The model is suitable for music lovers and those who are looking for clear high-quality sound. Moreover, the sound is good both with a wired connection and “over the air”. The build quality is excellent - the bow is made of plastic, but soundly. The case is pleasant to the touch, the ear pads are comfortable. The main disadvantage of these "Sinheisers" lies in the strange work of noise reduction. At low volumes, it feels like high-frequency noise. If you're looking for wireless over-ear headphones with quality sound and wired connectivity, the HD 450BT is the right choice for you.
5 HUAWEI FreeBuds 3i
Country: China
Average price: 8985 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
In-ear fully wireless headphones with a well-made ANC system.Each earphone has three pairs of microphones, which improves both the quality of the user's voice transmission and the operation of active noise cancellation. There is IPX4 water protection, which allows you to use the headphones in the rain. Synchronized with a smartphone / computer quickly and without unnecessary gestures. If you have a smartphone with the Huawei logo, then Bluetooth pairing occurs automatically as soon as you remove the headphones from the case.
The ANC function works clearly - all extraneous sounds are cut off to the maximum. The case is endowed with wireless charging. The energy of the case is enough for 14.5 hours of music playback. The model is able to work independently for 3 hours. The headphones are almost weightless and are not felt in the ear - each weighs 5.5 grams. The main drawback of the model is the reduced sound quality compared to the previous version (the detail is lower, the scene is incomplete, the bass is muffled).
4 ASUS ROG Theta 7.1
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 23490 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Expensive novelty, which was created specifically for gamers. These are full-size closed-type headphones with a microphone that is endowed with noise reduction, support for full-fledged 7.1 physical sound, and an extended frequency range. Surround sound is provided by 4 pairs of speakers, in each of which the volume level can be individually adjusted. Thanks to this, the games create the impression of complete immersion.
The sound quality is excellent. The playback frequency is wide - from 20 to 40,000 Hz, the membrane diameter is as much as 40 mm. The microphone works great too, but the best part is that it's detachable. The form factor of the model itself is convenient - it is heavier than usual, but the headband does not put pressure on the head, and the ear pads do not rub.Users who have already purchased this new product write in their reviews that it deserves the title of the best gaming model with support for 7.1 technology.

Rating (2022): 4.9
The new model of "killer AirPods" from the Chinese brand. Plug-in construction. The headphones connect to your phone via Bluetooth and support all important codecs to prevent sound quality degradation: SBC, AAC, LHDC.

The headphones do not lose connection with the smartphone, quickly connect to it when turned on, correctly display the charge level, and are easy to manage.

Rating (2022): 5.0
Comfortable in-ear wireless headphones that fit perfectly in your ears, have a long battery life and boast a wireless charging case. It is convenient to talk on them - they have three microphones that pick up your speech and transmit it to the interlocutor without distortion. The design of the headphones is as ergonomic as possible - even after many hours of wearing, the ears do not get tired. The model is suitable for sports.
There is a function to listen to the background. This is convenient when you need to exchange a few words with someone, but you don’t want to remove the earpiece from your ear. It works like this: the microphone picks up sounds from the outside and transmits them to the speaker. It's also handy when jogging around the city when you need to hear the sounds of passing cars. The battery provides battery life for 11 hours, and the case is also capable of recharging the headphones twice. The reviews say that the sound quality will not satisfy the music lover, but for the average user this level is enough.
