Typical price: £100
What is it: Earphones perfect for iPhones and iPods
What we think: Terrific for iPhone owners, specifically, but equally high-performing and more affordable alternatives are available for other MP3 players

We like:
Sound quality; good sound isolation; comfortable
We don't like:
Incompatible with some MP3 players; expensive choice if you're not using an iPhone

HF2
You might also need:
iPhone, iPod
CNET UK judgement:
Probably the best earphones for use with an iPhone, but they won't work with most phones and some MP3 players. For this reason, alternatives offered by Etymotic would be comparable and a more affordable choice for anyone without Apple's phone
