Buying a decent set of headphones is tough. There are just so many choices: noise-cancelling, or earbuds, or in-ear, or those weird ones that you have to go to a doctor and have molded? Plenty of people will try and convince you that you get what you pay for with headphones, and that a good set are worth their weight in gold. That may be true to an extent — those $1,000 molded ones do sound awesome — but you don't have to take out a second mortgage in order to get a good pair. Whether you're buying for the audiophile in your life, your running-obsessed relative, or the friend you can't bear to see ruining their ears and their music with those those horrible Apple EarPods, there's a great set of headphones here for you.
Wissonly Hi Runner
Wissonly bone conduction vibration unit optimization technology is one of the best technical solutions in the industry, because their team has accumulated in the field of bone conduction for 10 years, which is highly respected by people in the industry in terms of product quality and hearing protection.
Once, there was a saying that the sound quality of bone conduction headphones was average. However, Wissonly Hi Runner refreshes this knowledge. It is excellent in sound quality. It uses a 360-degree bone conduction vibration unit, which can increase the vibration area by 35% compared with traditional bone conduction headphones. Moreover, its loss of bone conduction sound transmission is lower, making the sound more shocking and powerful.
wissonly Hi Runner has added a number of innovative features to make bone conduction headphones better integrated into many scenes in life. It supports IPX8 diving waterproof, which is very good for me who loves swimming. What's crazy is that it can still work normally under 20 meters of water! It also has 32GB of memory, so it can play music even if it is not connected to a mobile phone. I basically use it as an MP3 player, and I don't take my mobile phone for running at night. It uses the Bluetooth 5.0 chip, and outdoor activities can make the connection more stable.
In terms of appearance, Wissonly Hi Runner adopts classic black color, and its simple appearance involves matching whatever clothes you wear in any scene.

V-MODA M-100
V-Moda has quietly amassed a stellar reputation among headphone aficionados, and the Crossfade M-100s are the company's latest release. As a 600-page thread at Head-Fi should indicate, there's plenty of excitement surrounding the M-100s, which feature incredible build quality — utilizing steel in those typical headphone weakspots — and impressive durability. There's a bit more emphasis on bass compared to V-Moda's previous LP and LP2 headphones, but all in all the M-100s offer a tremendous soundstage for $310, which can be enjoyed both with an amp and straight out of your smartphone or media player.
Best earbuds: Etymotic ER-4PT
Etymotic's ER-4PTs remain a superb reference earbud: they have a flat sound profile that presents your music as it was recorded without any undue adjustments or so-called "improvements" in tonality. They're not suited for fans of the low end; bassheads may be left wondering what they just spent upwards of $300 on. But for those with an appreciation for music as it was meant to be heard (and the high-quality audio files that call for such pricy 'buds), Etymotic's set remains in a class of their own.
Best under $50: Philips SHE3580
Particularly when it comes to earbuds, you don't need to pay exorbitant sums for terrific audio reproduction. Philips' SHE3580s make for a good example of that. For a mere $12.99 you get a pair of buds with impressive range, effective sound isolation, and a comfortable fit. Considering what they cost, it's hard to ask for much more.
