If your grad takes music listening seriously — maybe they’re a future music or theater major — or if they just spend a lot of time in their headphones listening to music or playing games for fun, check out Sennheiser’s HDB 630. Editor David Carnoy called these the best new headphones for audiophiles because they deliver clean, detailed sound with powerful, controlled bass. They also have strong battery life, lasting up to 60 hours. Using Sennheiser’s BTD 700 USB-C Bluetooth transmitter, you can plug into a PC, smartphone (yes, even iPhones) or a tablet for a reliable, high-quality Bluetooth streaming option.
While their noise canceling isn’t up to the level of what you get from Sony, Bose and Apple flagship headphones and earbuds, it’s still decent, and so is the voice-calling performance.
