Why it makes a good gift
Best for : Someone who commutes, travels or works somewhere noisy and wants over-ear noise cancelling headphones.
Best occasion : Christmas or a milestone birthday.
Why it works : Noise cancelling is the feature that makes headphones a gift rather than an accessory: Quiet mode shuts out a commute or an open office, Aware mode lets the wearer hear announcements, and the included cable keeps them working when the battery runs out. Up to 24 hours per charge and more than 22,000 reviews at 4.5 stars make it a safe pick for someone who listens every day.
Avoid if : The recipient already owns recent noise cancelling headphones or prefers earbuds for the gym: these are over-ear. Check the current price on the Amazon listing before ordering.
