Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

From Skullcandy cans that vibrate your skull, to headphones that look like they should come with a racing car from the 1950s, we've tried and tested the latest and best over-ear headphones around and narrowed it down to this top 10.

Whatever your style, from Denon to Bower & Wilkins, there will be something here to please your ears.

Verdict:

The Parrot Zik are slim enough to not be obtrusive as well providing top-notch sound quality. But if you fancy something on more of a budget the Skullcandy Crushers are innovative and cool.
