MSY has an extensive range of headphones and headsets to meet your audio needs. We stock gaming headphones and wireless headphones to headphones with microphones, and plenty of options in between.
The first step to picking the best headphones is figuring out which type you find most comfortable. MSY stocks all headphone and headset types, including over-ear headphones, on-ear headphones and in-ear (earbuds) headphones.
Over-ear headphones and headsets sit around your ears and offer passive noise-cancelling (some brands also offer active noise-cancelling). Spend as little as under $30 at MSY for a wired gaming headset or splash out hundreds on a pair of wireless headphones, like the SteelSeries Arctis Pro.
On-ear headphones and headsets sit on the ears, rather than over or inside. MSY has dozens of on-ear headsets and headphones, including kids headphones, which are mostly built for handsfree communication or personal use.
In-ear headphones (or earbuds) sit inside your ears and, by design, offer passive noise cancelling (some brands add active in-ear noise cancelling). MSY stocks wired in-ear headphones from bargain prices through to fully featured wireless in-ear headphones.
With the form factor figured out, the next step is to choose what you want to use headphones for. MSY sells headphones and headsets for a range of uses, from the biggest headphones brands like Beats, Sony and Apple.
You can save money by opting for wired headphones, either with a 3.5mm or USB cable for use with a computer. Alternatively, invest more in wireless headphones, including Bluetooth headphones and gaming headsets, which use 2.4GHz wireless for ultra-responsive audio.
MSY has a range of headphones and headsets to cover all key use-cases. Buy headphones for personal use, including high-quality music playback, and for gaming (PC and console headsets). Alternatively, buy a headset that’s built for work or headphones with professional-grade audio playback for studio use.
The best noise-cancelling headphones are those with active noise cancelling, though using passive noise cancelling can help preserve the battery life of wireless headphones. Over-ear and in-ear headphones tend to offer better passive noise cancelling and are less likely to leak audio.
MSY has punchy answers for some of the most pressing questions relating to headphones and headsets.
The best headphones are the ones that match your comfort preferences for on-ear, over-ear or in-ear. From there, it’s a choice between use-case (including headsets for work or play) and whether you want wired or wireless headphones.
The main difference between headphones is wired vs wireless, then on-ear, over-ear, or in-ear fit. Stereo headphones are common these days (compared to mono), and gamers should consider surround-sound headphones for a competitive edge.
The main difference between headphones and headsets is that headsets tend to have an attached microphone for voice communication. That said, certain brands still refer to headsets as headphones.
Wired headphones have zero latency, don’t need power and have the potential for higher-quality audio. Wireless headphones free you from wire snags (including the arms of a gaming chair), can usually connect to multiple devices, and are more convenient.
Competition is tight between headphones and headset brands, which is why MSY has plenty of options from the best manufacturers. For some examples, Apple offers headphones that have great compatibility with Macs, iPhones and iPads. Sony headphones have big sound and long-lasting wireless. And SteelSeries sells gaming headsets built for a competitive advantage.
The best headsets are the ones that meet your comfort and connectivity needs. Factor in what you want to use the headset for, then aim for a balance of audio output for your ears, and microphone audio input for those you’re speaking to.
