| Review summary | The Ultimate Ears super.fi 4 earphones offer a stylish design, great audio quality and some useful extras. But the largish aperture will cause some fit and comfort issues for certain users, so they're certainly not universally appealing. Still, they live up to the company's reputation in providing very high-quality sound, so they're worth a close look 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 E500PTHs make ordinary earphones sound utterly useless in comparison. They're extremely pricey and a complete pain to wear, but it's by far the best solution if you want to listen to music with no compromises Read full review |

AKG K 340
Fine for the price, but we have concerns about their durability, and their bass can be overpowering
Seagate Replica
Takes all the hassle out of backing up, but some will want more flexibility and storage capacity
Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300
Our favourite ebook reader so far, despite lacking much of the functionality found in competing devices
Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-600
Capable, and a good choice for students, but it's more expensive than rivals and the glossy screen is horrible
