Monster Beats by Dr Dre Solo review

The Beats by Dr Dre Solo on-ear headphones can make some songs sound muddy, which is a shame given their price, but they have a stylish and durable design that makes them well-suited to use on the move. The inline controls, mic and call-answer buttons are useful features too Read more

Klipsch Custom-2 sound-isolating earphones review

The Custom-2s are great sub-£100 earphones for jazz, soul and vocal genre lovers. If it's music that can be performed live without any amplification, electronics or mixing desks, it's probably suitable for the Custom-2s, making them enjoyable earphones despite their weaker high-end performance Read more

Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 headphones review

Audio Technica's ATH-ANC7 headphones are a comfortable pair of cans. Noise-cancellation is excellent and sound quality is good -- bass and treble are well balanced and mids are clear and prominent. Another favourable design quirk is the gold-plated audio jack, which ensures good audio transmission Read more

Beyerdynamic DTX 50 noise-isolating headphones review

Beyerdynamic's DTX 50 headphones feature noise-isolating tips to keep the outside world out of your head, and considering the quality of their bass reproduction, they're a bargain. Our only issue is with the mid-range audio, so you might want to stick to dance music Read more

Creative Aurvana Live headphones review

Creative promises its new headphones give all the experience of a live performance. Good build quality is complemented by tangle-proof, oxygen-free cabling, and powerful drivers and neodymium magnets make their performance predictably impressive -- especially for the price Read more

Shure SE115 review

The SE115 sound-isolating earphones are at the entry-level end of Shure's SE line, but still offer a comfortable fit and good sound quality. They don't provide a huge amount of detail, but they do deliver on the bass front, making them a solid choice for fans of reggae and hip-hop Read more

AKG K 518 LE review

The K 518 LEs are well worth a look if you're seeking portable earphones that you don't have to jam inside your head. They offer a compact, folding and stylish design, coming in a range of colours. They can make a few songs sound muddy, but their generally solid audio quality means they should appeal to listeners with eclectic taste Read more

Monster iBeats by Dr Dre review

They look great and, while the sound quality doesn't blow our minds, the Monster iBeats by Dr Dre would make an ideal upgrade from the default headphones that accompany new iPurchases. Read more

JVC Marshmallow review

Although they're very inexpensive, the JVC Marshmallow earphones are a huge step up from stock earbuds. They offer a secure, comfortable fit, good sound quality across all genres, and decent noise-isolation capability. Available in a wide variety of colours, they're also fairly stylish Read more

Sony PFR-V1 headphones review

The Sony PFR-V1 headphones are nothing if not interesting. While they're not initially very visually appealing, they aim to bridge the gap between headphone and speaker sound. Their unique design helps to create a more believable sound stage, especially for classical and acoustic listening Read more
