Which headphones should I choose?
Open-back headphones such as Grado and the HiFiMAN Edition XS give a spacious, natural sound but let sound in and out, so they suit quiet rooms at home. Closed-back designs keep more sound in. Planar magnetic headphones can benefit from a dedicated headphone amplifier, so consider pairing them with one of our DACs and headphone amplifiers.
Headphones FAQs
Q: Open-back or closed-back headphones?
A: Open-backs offer the most natural, spacious sound for quiet home listening; closed-backs isolate you from noise and suit shared spaces and travel. Wireless models with active noise cancellation are the travel choice.
Q: Do I need a headphone amplifier or DAC?
A: Sensitive headphones run happily from a phone or laptop; higher-impedance and planar models reward a dedicated DAC/amp — we stock both and can match them properly.
Q: What is hi-res audio and do I need it?
A: Hi-res playback preserves more detail than standard streaming; paired with capable headphones and a good source the difference is genuinely audible on quality recordings.
Q: Why buy headphones from CEN?
A: Authorised UK reseller of every brand we stock — including Focal, Grado, HiFiMAN and FiiO — with genuine UK stock and full warranty support.
Q: Are there wireless options?
A: Yes. The Grado GW100X connects over Bluetooth 5.2 and can also be used with a 3.5mm cable.
