Tags: Denon, Denon AH-D5000 headphones, magnets, hi-fi, phones
We like:
Stellar sound quality; comfortable; lightweight
We don't like:
Expensive; unfit for use on the move; long, heavy-duty cable can tangle badly; sound leaks at high volumes
You might also need:
Music player, hi-fi
CNET UK judgement:
A stunningly beautiful pair of headphones that produce an equally beautiful sound. Although you may need to sell a vital organ to afford them, they'll reward you with amazing reproductions of your music collection. Do them a favour, though, and don't feed them rubbishy MP3s

Our favourite ebook reader so far, despite lacking much of the functionality found in competing devices
