| Review summary | The Denon AH-C252 earphones are very heavy on the bass and generally an extremely loud pair of earphones. If you prefer power, volume and bass over sonic accuracy and tonal balance, the AH-C252s may well please you 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 |
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 Read full review |

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

Capable, and a good choice for students, but it's more expensive than rivals and the glossy screen is horrible

Smashing piece of kit, but Amazon's digital bookstore just isn't ready for us to invest over £200 in
