Spending more time working, exercising and watching TV at home had many people use their headphones and earbuds more than ever this year. In 2020, wireless headphones allowed people to attend a meeting on Zoom while cooking dinner (so long as they were muted and the camera was off, of course). Noise cancelling headphones — like the newly launched Apple AirPods Max — tuned out loud family members and eager pets when you needed a moment to yourself. Some people also took advantage of staying home by upgrading their entertainment systems, preparing to host a party with friends when life returns to normal and otherwise elevating their streaming devices. We’re looking back at some of the most purchased headphones and earbuds we covered this year, along with stand out speakers and soundbars.
