Getting the best out of your audio is vital, no matter who you are, and we kept that in mind for Best Headphones 2024. Content creators, editors, gamers and even those who just love music need to have a great pair of headphones by their side, especially when on the go!
Often, you will find headsets available, and these regularly make their way into the hands of games and people who require a microphone for video calls, etc. But if you’re working on a podcast, new content, or really want to filter out noise and focus on what sounds great, a quality pair of headphones is vital. This year, CGM has worked with countless companies across headsets, headphones, earbuds and more in the audio department, and these were our favourites for Best Headphones 2024.
Best Headphones 2024:
V-MODA CROSSFADE 3 WIRELESS HEADPHONES
Writer: Brendan Frye
V-Moda has always had a knack for making headphones that are as much a fashion accessory as they are a sound device. Their signature hexagonal ear cups and customizable metal shield kits ooze industrial chic. As a fan of the V-Moda’s eye-catching aesthetic, I was eager to see how the Crossfade 3 Wireless would develop its design. I loved using the V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless, so the attention to detail on these headphones was to be expected, but it doesn’t take away from the look that V-Moda has brought to the table.
The V-Moda Crossfade 3 Wireless Headphones make an excellent choice if you want bass-forward audio with excellent clarity and balance. V-Moda fans will feel right at home. Casual listeners should also check them out for wireless headphones that look as great as they sound. V-Moda has displayed its strengths with this model. The Crossfade 3 Wireless brings signature style, long battery life, and energetic audio to the table. Audiophiles and bass lovers alike will find plenty to love.

KENSINGTON H3000 HEADSET
Writer: Andrew Wilson
I recently got to test the Kensington H3000 Headset, their latest Bluetooth headset, designed for the Intel Evo laptop accessory program. That being said, the headset can easily be paired to other devices such as MacBooks, iPhones and Android devices. Equipped with a rotating boom microphone that can be positioned for use on either side of the user’s head, cooling-gel earpads, a padded adjustable headband and an impressively long battery life, the Kensington H3000 headset aims to deliver an experience customers should find genuinely satisfying.
Battery life was absolutely incredible, and I rarely found myself reaching for a charging cable to top them up, and their comfort additionally allowed for long listening sessions without feeling uncomfortable. The Kensington H3000 headset is well made and well deserving of a solid recommendation from me.
The Kensington H3000 Headset is a solid Bluetooth headset with clear audio quality that could rival many mid-range headphones. The battery life seems to never end and I rarely found myself reaching for a charging cable.

SINEAPTIC SE-1 BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES
Writer: Andrew Wilson
Recently I got a chance to try out a new set of Bluetooth headphones from Sineaptic, their SE-1 model to be more specific. Boasting that they are the world’s first pair of headphones with Ribbon Array Technology, I was excited to compare how these sounded when compared to other headphones I have gotten to use over the last little while. While the price tag is around $200, the Sineaptic SE-1s are certainly on the higher end of the price range amongst everything I have used so far.
Overall, my listening experience and time with the Sineaptic SE-1 headphones was mostly very good. Audio quality was excellent and made listening experiences a very enjoyable time while not causing any pain or strain on my head. The SE-1’s performed above average compared to previous headphones I have used and tested and have become one of my favourite pairs of headphones.
