| Review summary | Fantastic headphones with the best noise cancelling we've heard, but at a price. Audio quality is superb and the build quality will withstand the strains of constant use. If you're a frequent traveller who demands the highest audio quality, don't miss these beauties Read full review |
The older D5000s put the icing on the cake, but the D7000s add the artistic decoration to turn that cake into a masterpiece. At £800 they're very pricey, but they're also the most exciting headphones of the year, excelling with rock, folk, acoustic, electronic and metal alike Read full review |
The SE530s are quite simply the best noise-isolating headphones you can buy, and they cost less than their predecessors -- the Shure E500PTH. They're still pretty expensive but audiophiles will appreciate how truly worth the dosh they are Read full review |
The Klipsch Image S4 earphones offer up sound quality on a par with, or better than, sets that cost many times as much. They're a spectacular choice for anyone looking for new earbuds Read full review |
