Klipsch Custom-3 earphones review

The Klipsch Custom-3 earphones are a high-end choice for people who value a quality audio experience. Their design isn't for everyone, but the velvety smooth, warm sound quality is beautiful, particularly for those listening to acoustic singer/songwriters or jazz music Read more

Shure SE425 review

The Shure SE425s offer great sound quality, and the detachable cable could save you some hassle. There are a few sonic niggles though, and if you can stretch to it, the Shure SE535s offer better sound quality. Read more

Sennheiser OCX 880 review

Not everyone will like the design of the OCX 880 earbuds, due to the rubber loops that fit around your lugholes. But we reckon pretty much everyone will like their audio quality. You'll be hard-pressed to get better sound reproduction for under £100 Read more

AKG K 601 review

AKG's K 601 headphones feature large, comfortable cushions and a leather and metal headband. Users can enjoy bigger sound and precisely focused stereo left-to-right positioning, but a bulky design and poor performance with MP3 players means that the K 601s are better for home use Read more

Monster Beats by Dr Dre Pro review

The Monster Beats by Dr Dre Pros aren't the audiophile-grade cans the price tag would have you believe, and there are a few design niggles. Still, it's a long time since we've had so much fun with a set of headphones. Read more

Jays q-Jays sound-isolating earphones review

The Jays q-Jays are the world's smallest dual-armature earphones, providing both a sub and a tweeter in each earpiece. With their diminutive size, the 'phones fit snugly into any ear, but still provide impressive sound quality on the toughest of tracks. With these small 'phones, you'll get big sound Read more

Denon AH-D2000 headphones review

The Denon AH-D2000s are among the most open-sounding pairs of closed headphones we've ever heard. They provide masses of detail in all genres of music as well as a sonically neutral, balanced sound. Considering their price range, these cans are terrific value for money Read more

Philips SHE9850 sound-isolating earphones review

The Philips SHE9850 reach towards the higher end of sound-isolating earphones. They certainly reach the top in terms of comfort and their lightweight construction make them great for use at the gym. For all types of music, these are an excellent choice of 'phones Read more

Sony DR-BT50 Bluetooth headphones review

Sony's new DR-BT50s are ultra-stylish headphones aimed at the trendy 20-somethings who want to rock out with their MP3-laden mobile phone. With a built-in microphone, a set of music-player controls and even folder-navigation buttons, the DR-BT50s have potential Read more

Sennheiser IE 6 review

The entry-level model in Sennheiser's IE range, the IE 6s are a cracking pair of earphones, with a warm sound and a voice suitable for pretty much any kind of music. Available at under £100, they're also sensibly priced compared to the competition Read more
