Measured here

Measured headphones.

Every headphone on this page was measured on our own bench, seated deliberately for the best fit, published as one real seating rather than a blend, with its limits named. The list is short on purpose: it only holds what we have actually measured, and it grows one headphone at a time. Send one in and it joins them.
