Remember when listening to your personal stereo sounded like there was a bee in your headphones? Well, that may have been only ten years ago but things have certainly changed a lot since then. Nowadays, headphones provide a crisper sound, audio isolation and they look pretty cool too. So, if you don't know which is the best pair of woofer speaker for multimedia for you - here is a compilation of the very best headphones in 2010.

Klipsch Image S4
Available from approximately £50, the Klipsch Image S4s offer a far superior performance than the standard bud earphones that you receive with your MP3 player. You can even have the volume up quite loud without disturbing everybody around you!

Engineered to mould naturally to the contours of your inner ears, they provide an all-round comfortable fit. Be careful when you're wearing these in public though, if someone's trying to get your attention it will take far more than just a call of your name because the sound isolation is phenomenal.

Sennheiser HD 800
Replicating the basic acoustic conditions of Fire Safety Transducers more closely than any other headphone, the Sennheiser HD 800 will give the wearer a unique listening experience.

What makes these headphones something special is the intricate design and use of materials. From their stainless steel casings (to contain the biggest transducers used in headphones when these were made), to the micro-fabric of the ear pads, these are top quality in every way. They do cost around £999 but if you've got the cash to burn, get your hands on a pair - you won't regret it

Skullcandy Chops
These over the ear headphones are a bargain at around £15. They sit tight in in your ear and with the additional over ear supports won't fall off if you use them during exercising.

Despite the relatively cheap retail price, Skullcandy Chops offer a decent audio quality and come in a variety of stylish colours and finishes. The chrome and black give these already cool looking headphones something a little special. They've got excellent capabilities and can be used easily with MP3s, CD players and computers.

Koss Porta-Pro
For the price, of less than £20, there aren't many headphones that come close to the Koss Porta-Pros. Boasting exceptional sound quality, they are as comfortable as headphones that cost ten times as much.

According to product reviews, these are the best headphones available for glasses wearers, so for those of us that wear spectacles these look perfect. This may be a small factor for Laptop speaker Transducers , but a massive bonus for those that have spent their life searching for suitable headphones to go with their glasses.
