Headphone Information

ConsumerReports.org has a useful headphones buying guide that even non-subscribers can access.

Another useful buyer's guide comes from Macworld. It explains the different types of headphones available and makes recommendations for specific models, though there's no information on why they favor the listed models over others.

Headwize.com doesn't feature product reviews, but it does include lots of updates, industry reports and news on new headphones.

HeadphoneNews.com has frequently updated news on headphones.

Message forums can be a mixed bag, but they are great places for novices to ask questions. Head-Fi.org has a well-trafficked forum.
