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

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

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

Monster Beats by Dr Dre Beatbox review

The Monster Beats by Dr Dre Beatbox speaker dock for the iPhone and iPod sings from the same hymn sheet as its bass-heavy headphone cousins. But it's no choirboy -- expect skull-rattling bass, and a bold, brash sound. The Beatbox is sure to get the party started. Read more

Philips Fidelio Primo DS9000 review

The Philips Fidelio Primo DS9000 offers great sound quality and a pleasing design, even if it does have a few sonic quirks. It's no better than the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin iPod speaker, but it's worthy competition. Read more

Klipsch Image X10i review

The sound on the Klipsch Image X10is won't be to everyone's taste, but if you value faithful reproduction and audio clarity over booming bass, these headphones are unlikely to disappoint. 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

Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 review

The stylish Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 PC speakers produce stellar audio that's out of all proportion to their tiny size. They're not particularly portable and they're very expensive, but the MM-1s are the best speakers of their type that we've heard. You can use them with an MP3 player or smart phone too Read more

Orbitsound T12 review

You can use the Orbitsound T12 soundbar and subwoofer system to play back music, via its iPod and iPhone dock, or to upgrade your TV's rubbish built-in speakers. While its sound quality didn't blow our mind, we were impressed by its unusual ability to deliver stereo sound no matter where you are in the room Read more

Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile review

The Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile speaker offers a classy design and it's easy to set up. But it's quite heavy and it's let down by sound quality that doesn't justify its high price. Read more
