Headphones Comparison Chart
Headphones vary in many ways. I have ranked 10 different headphones by price and identified other factors such as weight and sound quality.

Not all headphones are the same and price doesn't determine the quailty of the headphones, many off this list are out-performed in various aspects by their cheaper option. However, the sound quality does tend to be better the more expensive the headphones get.
