The Headphone Show's Overall Headphone Ranking List

Disclaimer: This list combines subjective sound quality ratings of headphones from Resolve, GoldenSound, and listener based on our individual experiences and perspectives. We are not claiming these judgments to be universal.

If you're seeing lower scores than you expected, that's for two reasons:

We're considering the full range of possible sound quality, not just the range of headphones that exist. So a 10/10 would not be "the best headphone that exists," but instead, "the best headphone that could exist"
Because we have different tastes, disagreement is bound to lower the average score.

The "Average column" is color-coded: Green if all 3 reviewers heard it, Yellow if 2 reviewers heard it, and Red if only 1 reviewer heard it.
