The Best You Can Buy: Bluetooth Headphones Under $300
When it comes to choosing the right pair of headphones for yourself, we think you’ll find that splashy endorsements by athletes are not very helpful.

No worries, though! Yahoo Tech is here to give you our expert picks for the best Bluetooth over-the-ear headphones for under $300. So take that, Lebron James!
Sennheiser Urbanite XL — $299
We love the level of quality that the Sennheiser Urbanite XLs bring, both in sound and in hardware. The gesture-based volume/play/pause controls are a particularly nice touch. Just be careful when stepping out of the house with these headphones — their fabric design won’t be as durable as other similarly priced models.
Bose SoundLink — $249
Bose’s on-the-ear headphones were probably the most comfortable pair we tried on. And though the pillowy ear padding does put a slight muffle on the sound quality, it still sounds like a pro headset.
Sony MDR-ZX770BN — $229
Don’t be put off by the flimsy build and sloppy button layout of these Sony noise-canceling Bluetooth cans; they’re arguably the best-sounding set of this bunch.
Sony MDR-XB950BT — $149
Sony’s BassBoost headphones are accurately marketed. But beyond their impressive low-end, the overall quality of sound here is about as good as the $149 price tag suggests.
Moto Pulse — $59
Attention, bargain shoppers: These new headphones from Motorola offer full wireless Bluetooth connectivity and a dedicated mobile app that shows both the amount of battery remaining on the headphones and the last place they were located in case you’ve misplaced them. They don’t fit as comfortably or sound nearly as good as the other models on our list. But … $60!
