Shure SE535 review
The SE535s are the best sound-isolating earphones we've ever heard, but one glimpse of their price tag may cause your wallet to spontaneously combust. If you're an audiophile, you should check them out, since they may well help you to discover sounds in your songs that you never knew were there Read more

Shure E500PTH review
The Shure E500PTHs are the crème de la crème of sound-isolating earbuds -- and they certainly look the part. With the noise of the outside world almost completely excluded, the E500PTHs are left to pump music directly, it seems, into your brain, resulting in a sound quality that's nothing short of awesome Read more

Bowers & Wilkins P5 review
If you're looking for a high-end set of headphones to wear out and about, the P5s will prove well worth a look. They're pricey, but they offer fantastic sound quality, an appealing design and sturdy construction, as well as a useful in-cable remote control for iPods and the iPhone 3GS Read more

Sennheiser IE 8 sound-isolating earphones review
We loved the way the Sennheiser IE 8 sound-isolating earphones added warmth and depth to our broad music collection. With the added bonus of being able to manually adjust the bass, these earphones are more than worthy competitors to the Shure SE530s. Be prepared to have your music rocked Read more

Shure SE530 noise-isolating headphones review
If you're obsessive about music you owe your ears Shure's SE530 noise-cancelling headphones. They may cost £330, but they're worth every penny -- they make every other pair of earbuds seem vastly inferior 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

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

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
