2. Ultrasone HFI-2200
Editors' rating: 8.3
The good: Supercomfortable full-size, open-back headphones; user-replaceable headphone cable; excellent sound quality, with strong bass; sounds awesome with iPods; folds up for compact storage; travel case is included.
The bad: Large size and earth-tone color scheme may not appeal to everyone; shorter headphone cord not included.
The bottom line: Ultrasone's HFI-2200 headphones score well on every count: they're comfortable, well built, and sound great.
