Klipsch Image X10i review

The sound on the Klipsch Image X10is won't be to everyone's taste, but if you value faithful reproduction and audio clarity over booming bass, these headphones are unlikely to disappoint. Read more

House of Marley Destiny TTR review

The Destiny TTR won't satisfy hardcore audiophiles, but they deliver a powerful, rich, bass-oriented sound that we absolutely love. Read more

Bose QuietComfort 3 review

Bose's luxuriously designed QuietComfort models have set the standard for premium noise-cancelling headphones. The QuietComfort 3s are significantly smaller than their predecessors, and they feature an on-ear design rather than the over-the-ear format of the QuietComfort 2s. They also usefully come with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery Read more

Klipsch Image sound-isolating earphones review

The Klipsch Image sound-isolating earphones could be the most comfortable pair of 'phones in the world. Say goodbye to 'ear fatigue' and hello to compact comfort. The Images aren't light on sound, though, with plenty of isolation and a well-balanced, warm voice Read more

Sony MDR-NC500D review

The over-the-ear MDR-NC500Ds are, according to Sony, the world's first digital noise-cancelling headphones. Lightweight and extremely comfortable, they certainly provide the best noise-cancelling experience we've had to date. We just wish the bass response was better Read more

Atomic Floyd SuperDarts review

Atomic Floyd's SuperDarts' powerful bass and hot styling will appeal to electronic music fans, but their mid-range tones are underwhelming. Read more

AKG Q 701 review

The AKG Q 701 headphones deliver superb sound quality with a high-end clarity that's all too rare. But we were slightly underwhelmed by their bass response. Read more

Audio Technica ATH-W1000 headphones review

Like their more expensive older siblings, the Audio Technica ATH-W1000s provide an emphasis on brightness and exceptional musical clarity. While they lack some low-end emphasis, these comfortable, closed-back headphones are excellent for reference use in a studio Read more

Grado RS-2 Reference Series review

The RS-2s' handcrafted wooden parts are specially cured over many production steps to perfect the 'Grado sound'. Other top-notch components include oxygen-free copper cables and high-power neodymium magnets. This adds up to the best headphones we've ever heard -- but they're insanely, eye-wateringly expensive Read more
