We have been testing and ranking the best iPod headphones for more than 8 consecutive years now.
This is NOT another silly "Top 10 iPod Earbuds that suck" that we see all over the net. Since 1995 we have ranked the best headphones and starting in 2003, we begun testing all available headphones for the iPod, measuring performance, efficiency, comfort, fit, build quality, design, manufacturers' warranty and sound for all types of music and activity. And so we came up with our rankings among mid to high end headphones to compile the top, best headphones available.  And we try to do that at least twice a year to remove discontinued headphone models and add the newest and best headphone models.How we do it:
12 people (4 females and 8 males) among employees, friends and family members, that have been listening to dozens of models of earphones, vote for the earphones that sounded and fitted their best at any price range. We limited the songs to 7: Cello Concerto in A Minor, Take Five (Dave Brubeck), It's a Beautiful Day (U2), Viva La Vida (Coldplay), Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash), One More Drink (Ludacris) and Iron Man (Black Sabbath). Each person could skip between any of those 7 songs with each earphone model on a given price range group of models. They had to listen to at least one time each song with each model before voting for their favorite models on each price range. In the category of Best iPod in-ear headphones, the winners are Shure, Westone, Monster, Audeo, and Denon. Providing sound isolation of up to 44dB (compare that to 26dB with noise cancellation headphones such as Bose), these show-stopping micro headphones award you the opportunity to enjoy your music at a much lower volume and with much more detail.
 In-ear earphones are the superstars of iPod earphones. They implement a different technology than those B-list earbuds offered by the big box retailers. These high-end iPod ear canal headphones are designed with balanced armature drivers - high precision drivers made only in the USA and two other European countries. Armature balanced drivers work much like a tuning fork instead of the common dynamic speaker drivers. They create dazzling performances compared to the cheap dynamic mini speakers equipped in stock Apple earbuds and other budget earbuds. Megastar artists like Justin Timberlake use nothing but these high-end, in-ear headphones for stage monitoring and for use with their own iPods and other portable players.
