Ranked by editor score, falling back to the AI judge. How we test

Tests: All three label lines spelled exactly: "HIGHLAND ROAST", "Single Origin · Ethiopia", "250 g" · Kraft paper texture and matte finish look real · Pouch shape with zip and gusset is plausible · Clean white background with a soft contact shadow

“Lifestyle product photo of a woman's hand holding matte black over-ear wireless headphones by the headband, in a sunlit café with a softly blurred background. Natural window light, visible leather texture on the ear cushions, a small brushed aluminum hinge on each side.”

“Luxury studio photo of a faceted clear glass perfume bottle with a heavy black cap, standing on a glossy black mirror surface that reflects it. Thin rim light outlines the edges, a soft gradient from charcoal to black in the background, crisp caustic highlights in the glass. The front label reads "NOIR 07" in thin gold capital letters.”
Tests: Label text reads exactly "NOIR 07" · Physically plausible reflection of the bottle in the mirror surface · Faceted glass shows refraction and caustic highlights · Rim light separates the dark bottle from the dark background
