It is tough! The first thing I usually recommend to people is narrowing it down by open vs closed-back first. If you’re using them at home by yourself, open is ideal, if you’re using them in a room with other people or out and about, closed is better.

Then you can move onto things like noise cancelling (if you’re going Read more
