What It Is: A pair of headphones that combine power and fidelity with a sweet-looking design.

Who It’s For: Fans who want the feel and power of a noise-cancelling unit without the need for batteries.

Why It’s Worthy: Phiaton’s MS 400 model has leather in-lays for maximum comfort, and have a cool old-school fit about them (big enough to let people know you mean business, but not so huge that you look like a dork). The sound fidelity is crisp and clear — powerful enough to deliver noise-cancelling-worthy sound without creating that weird pressure in your ears.

Our Only Complaint: There’s a little bit lost in the low end, so they’re not the best choice for hip-hop. Like with many high-end heaphones, the cable is too short. We know it’s to preserve sound fidelity, but the jacks on our computers are really far away.

Cost/Where to Get It: $249.00 at Phiaton (Available now)
