Headphone accessories

Buying guide

Ear pads are the part of your headphones that wear out first: leatherette ones isolate sound better, while foam and fabric ones get less hot in summer. Pick replacements by model series – two lines from the same brand often use different mounts. A headphone stand protects the cable and headband from damage and frees up desk space. A case for wireless earbuds protects the charging case from drops; check whether it still allows wireless charging and leaves the indicator light visible.
