Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220 review

If you can get a good fit with the MetroFi 220 earphones, you'll be rewarded with good sound quality across all musical genres, and solid noise isolation. For users of stock earphones looking to upgrade and still have money left in their wallet, the 220s are a worthy option Read more

If you're having trouble finding the strong bass line in your music, you should give the Denon AH-C252 sound-isolating earphones a whirl. These exceptionally loud earphones produce a powerful mid-range and strong low end, making them well suited to rock and metal genres Read more

AKG K 390 review

The AKG K 390 earphones offer a sleek design and generally impressive sound quality, whether or not the noise-cancelling function is activated. The earbuds and noise-cancelling module are fairly large, which might put off some users, but these are good earphones nevertheless Read more

Radiopaq Dots review

The Radiopaq Dots won't impress audiophiles, but they deliver a much better listening experience than the earbuds that are bundled with most MP3 players. They're rather flimsy, though. 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

AKG K 340 review

The K 340 earphones fall short in the visual-stimulation stakes, but their overall sound quality is solid and they'll probably appeal to those who like plenty of bass. A handy inline volume slider and a hard-sided carrying case for storing and transporting the headphones are welcome bonuses 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
