Best headphones 2018: Your definitive guide to the latest and greatest audio

The best headphones in every style, at every price point
Best Headphones 2018: Welcome to TechRadar's comprehensive round-up of the best headphones in every style and at every price point in 2018.
It's hard to imagine a world without headphones - a world where music can only be enjoyed in concert halls or on speaker systems, exclusively. Headphones have their limitations, of course, but there's a reason they've survived as long as they have.
Yes, they've changed over the years - added fancy new features in the form of noise-cancellation of Hi-Res Audio playback over Bluetooth - but largely the pair of cans you bought 20 years ago could stand up to the ones made today. 
...well, as long as you bought a quality pair of them they could.
The reasoning behind buying one of the best headphones on the market today is to get the features of today, and a build quality that will last tomorrow. Sure, you could buy discount-bin headphones at the checkout line, but they're unlikely to make it through the year, let alone for the next decade or two. 
That said, it's our mission to hook you up with a pair of great-sounding headphones - the best headphones money can buy, even when you're on a budget. 
We've listened to hundreds of headphones over the years of every make, model and variety to create list-after-list of the best noise-cancelling headphones, the best wireless headphones, the best earbuds, etc...
We encourage you to take a look at all the headphone lists here on TechRadar - but, if you're in a hurry and just want to see the best headphones, period, this is the place for you. What you'll find below is our selection of the best headphones for each form-factor, and we've even picked out a less-costly option for each so that a lack of finances won't stop you from finding a pair of headphones you'll truly love.
