Headphones are expected to be a hot gift this year,according to Consumer Reports holiday poll. One big trend -- celebrity-endorsed headphones.
Beats by Dr. Dre has celebrities such as Gwen Stefani and Kanye West touting its headphones. Lady Gaga even designs for the brand.
Consumer Reports tested Dr. Dre headphones, along with traditional big names including Bose, Sony, and Panasonic.
They included studio-style headphones, which are good for listening to music at home, and portable ones, which are better on the go. Also tested—noise-canceling and noise-isolating earphones, which block outside noise to varying degrees.
