Adam Birney

Adam oversees and updates all of our Best Lists. Formerly a writer for Android Authority, he's now the gatekeeper for product approval and acquisition at SoundGuys. Armed with a BA in Cognitive Science, Adam goes beyond surface-level reviews to dissect the science of sound. He's an advocate for hearing health, especially when it comes to young ears, and a proponent for the psychological uplift music can offer. He's still rocking the original Sennheiser MOMENTUM over-ears at home but enjoys the new Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones for airplanes and the Galaxy Buds Pro while on the go.
