Default Tips for buying headphones?

Any advice for buying headphones? irrespective of price and brand - are
there specific differences in the spec which make particular sets worth
buying - output for one.

Not so much in the spec., but plenty of difference in the sound. As
with speakers, all sound different. Try before you buy.

Particularly important for headphones. You need a comfortable physical fit.
