When it comes to new Bluetooth headphones, there’s only one way to know if they’re the right choice for you: testing them out.
You can discuss specs like signal-to-noise ratio, nominal output power, response bandwidth, bass, and much more all you want, but when it comes down to it, what you want to know is how the headphones sound.
Balance and definition are two of the most important aspects of headphones, and you have a right to be very picky about this.
Without further ado, here are 15 songs that will take your wireless Bluetoothheadphones for a ride:

If you know anything about The Devil Wears Prada, then you can imagine that Escape is on the heavy side. The intro drowns you with sound only to fade into an amazing guitar solo. This song is not for everyone, but heavy music showcases ranges that are easy to discern, which makes it great to test your headphones.

If you were a fan of the TV show House M.D., then you will recognize this song immediately. The song has wonderful bass that will put your headphone’s subwoofer to the test. The only danger is that you will definitely be tempted to go back to the show and binge watch the hell out of it!
Once a summer hit, this catchy Black Eyed Peas song will also put your subwoofer to the test with its heavy bass. What’s more, you will definitely be tempted to bust a move!
New age music is not everyone’s thing, but you don’t have to be a fan to appreciate the layering of this piece. If your Bluetooth headphones don’t convey the ethereal layers of sound this song features, then you should move on to other options.
