2013 Holiday Gift Guide: The 10 Best Over-Ear Headphones

Marshall Major 50 FX

Price: $85
When modern audio meets traditional composition. The Major 50 FX appeals to the nostalgic audiophile in search of nostalgic headphones that deliver on the company’s signature rock audio profile. By that, we’re referring to its amp-like delivery courtesy of 40mm drivers capable of bumping effective bass levels. Every novice rock star is naked without a pair these on their noggin.

Harman Kardon BT

Price: $160
Like the Bluetooth speaker market, Bluetooth headphones are growing in popularity, though most audio manufacturers are failing to do the technology justice on the audio spectrum. Leave it to a true sound pioneer like Harman Kardon to break the barrier with the BT model. A clean design mated with crisp vocals and rich lows equals an amazing wireless listening experience.
