Corsair HS70 SE Wireless

Our new favorite wireless cans?

- Zak Storey

What’s the gold standard for headphones? How can you review something so subjective and say, unequivocally, that it’s good, that it’s worth investing in? Us humans are all weird creatures, made from our experiences, nurture, our environment. Our senses are equally as unique. They can be fresh, they can be worn out, they can be flat, or tightly tuned, or they can simply prefer something different. So how on earth can any reviewer—be it us or any other publication, for that matter—go out and say, without a doubt, that these are some of the best headphones we’ve ever listened to? Well, we’ve got a simple test: Crank up the volume, listen to your favorite track, and see whether those cans make your hair stand on end. If that tingling sensation shoots across your shoulders and along your arms, if that track evokes an emotional response, we know we’re on to a winner.
