The best earbuds overall

Master & Dynamic has been making some of the best-designed, and best-sounding headphones out there for a few years now — and the Master & Dynamic ME05 earbuds are no exception.

Master & Dynamic has been steadily building a name for itself as one of the top headphone manufacturers — and if you want the best-sounding earbuds, then the Master & Dynamic ME05 in-ear headphones are the way to go. Sure, these headphones may not offer all the flashy features available from some of the others on this list, but they sound great, are relatively comfortable, and look pretty nice too.

Perhaps the most important thing to consider is how headphones sound, and the ME05 headphones sound great. They offer a deep, powerful bass response that most will love, but there's also plenty of clarity in the high frequencies — and a lot more detail than you'll get on a pair of wireless headphones. Because they're bass-heavy, those looking for a natural sound may want to look elsewhere, but those who simply want something that sounds great will love these headphones. They're nicely designed too.

The Master & Dynamic ME05 have gotten very positive reviews since their release. TechRadar gave the headphones an impressive 4.5 out of 5, while they scored 8.8 out 10 at Headphone Review. The only downsides are that despite being relatively cheap compared to some of the wireless headphones on this list, they're still more expensive than some other options. Also, the bass-forward sound may not be for everyone — though that's hardly a downside here. Read our full review here. —Brandt Ranj, Christian de Looper
