How to choose headphones for work and travel
Open or closed, wired or wireless, noise cancelling or not: four questions that lead you to the right pair.
The right headphones depend less on the brand than on where you will wear them. Ask yourself four questions.
- Where will you wear them? On a train or a plane, choose closed headphones with active noise cancelling. At home, open-back headphones sound more natural.
- Wired or wireless? Wireless for moving around, wired for the best sound at a desk and no battery to charge.
- How long? Over three hours a day, comfort matters more than anything: soft pads, a light headband, under 300 g.
- For calls too? Look for a microphone that cuts the noise around you.

You have 30 days to return headphones that do not suit you, unused and in their box.
