Which? product tests are impartial and very thorough. They have tested the 72 headphone sets for sound quality (a variety of different sound sources and genres will be used), the comfort of the fit (a reviewer will wear the headphones for at least 30 mins at a time), whether there is any noticeable sound leakage (for noise cancelling headphones the tester will listen to music in the back of a moving car) and a test to check the build quality (testers will drop a pair of headphones 10 times onto carpet from a height of 1.2 metres and tug at wiring to ascertain whether the headphones will withstand the test).
