10 Best Headphone Brands in Singapore to Buy Headphones From [2024]

In the ever-growing world of nifty IT devices, a headphone brand is so much more than a name. It is a stamp of quality and a not-so-subtle nod to the features that the brand has invested resources into developing for its headphones.

Some headphone brands, for example, are renowned for their eye-catching headphone designs, while others are more recognised for their audio quality.

How then, does one separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to picking the best headphone brands in Singapore? Well, you don’t have to fret any longer.

In this post, we’ve gathered all the necessary details to compile a list of the 10 best headphone brands in Singapore for you to purchase your headphones from.

1. JBL

The headphone brand in Singapore carries a few categories of headphones: Wireless Headphones, Kids Headphones, Sport Headphones, Noise Cancelling Headphones, True Wireless Headphones and Smart Headphones.

Our recommendation: give their Smart Headphones, which are equipped with Google Assistant, a try. Whilst many Bluetooth headphones can call up voice controls on a smartphone, headphones with full Google Assistant integration run the software natively which allows users to take full control of their personal listening experience without having to reach for their phone.

That means faster access to information and increased functionality.

2. Creative

Today, Creative is spearheading new product categories with its groundbreaking Sound BlasterAxx audio enhancement devices and solutions, highly-acclaimed Creative D5xm Signature Series of modular Bluetooth wireless speakers, Aurvana premium headsets, Sound Blaster wireless gaming headsets, and cross-platform Sound Blaster Recon3D for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC or Mac. These make it one of the best headphone brands in Singapore.

Savi 8200 Office Series headset bases have 3-way connectivity – computer, desk phone and mobile phone – for convenient conferencing on up to two devices at once. For those wanting computer connectivity only, the Savi 8200 UC Series is the ideal choice.

7. Razer
