Top 10 Best iPad Air Headsets, Headphones and Earphones Reviews

iPad Air was launched just recently and everyone got all hyped about it. Just like with every other Apple product, the new iPad was sold out in most major shops. However, the rush and hype is not over yet. Accessory sales also spiked and the most important one is the headset. The iPad is a great and entertaining gadget. People use is to watch movies, listen to music, play games, work, surf the internet and so on. Almost all these activities become much more enjoyable when using a high quality headset and there are plenty of options to choose from.

10. Sennheiser Momentum Headphones

Sennheiser has quit a history in terms of audio equipment with a major focus on headphones and headsets. The Momentum model offers high sound fidelity that is difficult to match by its competitors. However, the headphones have one major drawback that places them on the 10th position. The extremely high price and the phones are not even cordless. They come equipped with a mic and the standard controls on the wire but the price is just too high. It is almost just as expensive as the tablet itself. On the other hand, the enthusiasts that are really demanding when it comes to sound fidelity might be tempted to buy a pair.

9. Yurbuds Inspire In-Ear Sport Earphones

Even if the Yurbuds Inspire are defined as sports earphones, they can be used anywhere and at anytime. It is more of a budget solution and probably just a minor upgrade over the standard Apple headset that is included with the iPad Air. The headphones can deliver a deeper base but the sound fidelity is mediocre. Even if the name suggests that they are sport earphones it is highly unlikely that someone would run with their iPad in their pocket but the Yurbuds can be used successfully to listen to music and place calls for the 4G models. They have a sleek design with tones of black and red and come with a carry pouch.

8. Urbanears Zinken Plus On-Ear DJ Headphones with Slussen Adapters

The Urbanears Zinken Plus could easily be named the most fun headset for the iPad. It is a genuine all-in-one headset. It it had also Bluetooth connectivity it would have easily gone to the 3rd or 2nd place in the ranking. These crafty little headphones feature full size padded ear cushions, a simple DJ-like design, all black color and the sulssen adapter. Basically, the headphones can be connected to the phone and an audio system at the same time, making it possible to listen to the music and play it directly from the phone trough external speakers. The manufacturers also developed an app to make it easier to mix tracks and start being a DJ with only the iPad.

7. SOL REPUBLIC X Tracks HD Headphones

The Tracks series manufactured by Sol Republic X has one element that makes them stand out from the rest. Their design is just unmatched and probably, they are the best looking headphones on the market. The manufacturers created multiple versions with various colors and themes making them even more visually pleasant.

6. Beats Solo HD On-Ear Headphones

 

The beats series have the main advantage of giving the customers multiple choices when it comes to colors. More options mean a bit more personality but the headphones fall a bit behind when it comes to sound fidelity. They are definitely an upgrade when compared with the standard Apple headphones but they get outperformed by other headsets that are being sold at the same price. The fact that they are wireless make them actually a rather tempting purchase. Combined with its sleek design and durability, the Solo HD model is probably the best option in this price range.

5. Beats Studio Over-Ear Headphones

Another good pick for the ones that do not like having a cable around their neck is the Beats Studio Over-Ear. It features the standard remote controls, comfortable ear cushions and a pleasant visual aspect. Compared with the Solo HD, the sound quality is a bit better. Also, the headphones work with AAA batteries which is a major plus as it makes it much easier to replace the batteries when they dry out rather than to charge the headphones. This feature is even more appreciated when access to a power source is not available.

4. Klipsch Image S4i Premium Noise-Isolating Headset

There is no better option when it comes to spending $100 on headphones. The Klipsch Image S4i comes with all the features required to listen to music, place calls, watch videos and pretty much everything that requires a headset or headphones. Sound quality is also quite decent but the most important feature is the price. The only drawback is the fact that its design is not amazing but acceptable.

3. Bose SIE2i Sport Headphones

Bose has a long established reputation in the audio industry and the SIE2i does not disappoint. Voice and audio quality do justice to the brand. The price is right and the design is pleasant with its shades of bright blue, white and black. The remote control is discreetly placed on the wire but there one drawback. They can become a bit uncomfortable to wear over extended periods of time.

2. Avantree Hive Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

This headset has been around for years now and it is still being sold. It is one of the most affordable wireless headsets that is compatible with the iPad. For less than $50, Avantree managed to build a pair of headphones equipped with a decent mic that does not fall behind when it comes to audio quality. The Hive is worth every single cent.

1. Monster DNA On-Ear Headphones

It is nearly impossible to find a negative review for the Monster DNA On-Ear Headphones. Everything about this headset can be defined as premium. The design is unmatched and sound quality outperforms $300 headphones. They are corded but the cables are detachable which makes it impossible to damage the headphones with accidental cable pulls. They are durable, sleek and look as if they were designed by Apple with their combination of white with black elements.
