Looking for the best headphones in Canada? This page brings together headphones for music, travel, gaming, streaming and studio work, from over-ear and on-ear models to in-ear and wireless designs. Whether you want a simple pair for everyday listening or a reference model for mixing, you can compare the range in one place at Excellent Photo in Montreal.
How to choose a headphone
Start with the style. Over-ear headphones, like the Sony WH-CH710N Noise-Canceling Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, are usually the most comfortable for long sessions. On-ear models, such as the JBL E35 On-ear headphones, are lighter and easier to carry. In-ear models like the RHA MA750i Noise Isolating In-Ear Headphone with Remote and Microphone fit in a pocket and suit commuting.
- Wireless or wired: wireless is convenient on the go, while a wired pair has no battery to charge. Browse our Bluetooth headphones for cable-free options.
- Noise canceling: useful on planes, trains and in busy offices.
- Closed-back or open-back: closed-back designs keep sound in, while open-back designs sound more airy and are best in a quiet room.
- Studio and monitoring: for recording, editing and mixing, see our studio headphones.
- Gaming and streaming: look for a headset with a microphone, such as the Audio-Technica ATH-GL3 or ATH-M50xSTS StreamSet.
