Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

From Skullcandy cans that vibrate your skull, to headphones that look like they should come with a racing car from the 1950s, we've tried and tested the latest and best over-ear headphones around and narrowed it down to this top 10.

Whatever your style, from Denon to Bower & Wilkins, there will be something here to please your ears.

Verdict:

The Parrot Zik are slim enough to not be obtrusive as well providing top-notch sound quality. But if you fancy something on more of a budget the Skullcandy Crushers are innovative and cool.
