Marshall Major review

The Marshall Major headphones offer a cool design and pretty good sound quality. It's just a shame they're so uncomfortable to wear. Read more

Shure SE102 sound-isolating earphones review

Shure introduces their lowest-priced earphones yet, the sound-isolating SE102s. A definite upgrade from the earphones that come bundled with your MP3 player, the SE102s are durable, loud and bright-sounding,l but hardly dazzling Read more

Nixon Nomadic on-ear headphones review

The Nomadic on-ear headphones don't offer the best sound quality we've ever heard but they are exceptionally stylish. They have a sturdy design, too, and you can get them in a wide range of colours and configurations. A variety of handy extras, like a hard-shell carrying case, rounds out a decent package Read more

Monster Lady Gaga Heartbeats review

Inspired by Lady Gaga, these in-ear headphones are exactly what you'd expect: completely over the top and stylish to the point of absurdity. If you can wear the triangular earpieces comfortably, you like plenty of bass and you want to catch eyeballs, these earphones will suit you well Read more

Denon AH-NC732 headphones review

Denon's AH-NC732 headphones feel like a cross between two Bose Quiet Comfort models, and the result makes them excellent noise-cancellers with a comfy design. The fact that you can listen to music even when the noise-cancelling circuitry is deactivated is a definite plus. But do keep in mind the NC732's high price Read more

Sony MDR-AS100W Active Headphones review

it can be surprisingly difficult to find a decent pair of fitness-friendly headphones, but Sony has entered the fray with its Active Headphones range. The AS100Ws are well designed, with an adjustable over-the-head band that should fit snugly on most gym bunnies. They don't sound bad, either Read more

Creative EP-630 review

If you want to step up from stock earbuds but aren't absurdly picky about audio quality and don't want to spend a fortune, the EP-630 earphones are a solid option. Durability may be an issue, but they're compact, comfortable, relatively stylish and offer good sound quality for the money Read more

Sennheiser OMX 680i Sports review

The Sennheiser OMX 680i Sports headphones are impressively stable and comfortable when running, as their adjustable ear-hook design works extremely well. They lack oomph in the bass department, though. Read more

Skullcandy Smokin' Buds review

The Smokin' Buds are a decent budget option for people looking to upgrade from stock earphones. Competing models are more comfortable and offer better sound quality, but the Smokin' Buds seem durable, come in a range of eye-catching colours and offer some useful extra features, like an inline mic Read more

Sony MDR-AS20J Active Headphones review

The Sony MDR-AS20J Active Headphones will work for listeners who are used to listening to stock 'phones, but now want something that's suitable for jogging or the gym. One thing's for sure: they get loud enough to drown out machine whirs and disturbing human grunting Read more
