Today’s new generation of high-end headphones has truly redefined the art of music listening. Unfortunately, shopping for a great pair of luxury headphones can sometimes be a humbling experience, with such a dizzying array of models, technologies, designs, and special features to choose from.

They wanted to create a welcoming space where they could share their passion for music and hi-fi audio and let consumers explore the widest possible diversity of headphone brands and models, all crafted specifically to enhance the music listening experience.

New to premium audio, no worries. There is a great Buyer’s Guide that serves as a primer designed to educate visitors so they can find exactly the right headphone.

The site is changing the face of the high-end audio marketplace with its easy navigation and its trusted expert, unbiased reviews. Most importantly, because the brothers want their customers to be sure they invested in just the right pair of headphones their site offers an industry-leading 365-day return policy!

The team put together some Valentine’s Day recommendations:

For the Serious Music Lover
At $799, France-based Focal has taken the design, technology, and materials of their industry-leading headphones reduced the weight, and added lots of advanced technology to create the Bathys ‘phones. These are the company’s first wireless active noise-canceling headphones,  delivering true high-fidelity sound that you can take on the go.

Another Headphones.com favorite, the Hifiman HE400se over-ear planar magnetic headphones pleases the wallet as well as the ears.  The “cans” feature Hifiman’s stealth magnet design that enhances audio performance by helping to reduce distortion levels to barely audible levels. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full range. The result is pure audio enjoyment at a bargain price.

For the Design Aficionado
Some high-end audio products are practically works of art. Not only do they sound great, and they also look fantastic in your home, on your head – or even just sitting on your shelf! The Rosson Audio Design RAD-0 Planar Magnetic Headphones are not only elegantly beautiful, but they deliver truly amazing sound that brings your favorite music to life.  As is often the case, the combination of design and performance comes with a serious price tag.  But if $2,600 does not break your budget, you will have a feast for both eyes and ears.

For the Demanding Traveler
Many popular headphones offer wireless convenience and the latest tech, but miss out on delivering great sound. Luckily, some great Hi-Fi alternatives let you have it all, wherever you go. If price is no object, at $999, Focal’s Celestee over-ear model is a great choice. Styled in navy blue with a copper finish, the Celestee is gorgeous to behold and has the sound performance to back it up. Its rigid carrying case makes it easy to take wherever you go.

Another great option is the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4. In addition to being wireless, this over-ear model is noise cancelling. It has the classic Sennheiser design and folding body for a sleeker, more modern look. No need to worry about charging. It can deliver up to 60 hours of play time with both Bluetooth and adaptive noise cancellation. The Sennheiser Momentum 4 is priced at $319.95.

If you find an in-ear model more to your liking, Sennheiser’s IE200 wired in-ear model, $149.95, is a great choice. Whether you’re a lifelong audiophile — or you just want better sound on the road — these exceptionally neutral and precise earphones reveal an entire world of new detail. It features dual-tunable ear tips that let you personalize the bass response.

If you’ve opted for a plug-in model and are flying to Boston or Brisbane, don’t despair.  Pick up an adapter that changes the common ¼-inch audio plug to the smaller size needed for most airline passenger A/V systems.

Whether you’re looking to buy them as a gift or for yourself, Headphones.com is a great destination to educate yourself and purchase a headphone.
