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 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

Klipsch Image S3 review

The Klipsch Image S3s are a fantastic option if you want to upgrade from the abysmal earphones that are bundled with most MP3 players. They sound good, feel comfortable and won't break the bank. Read more

Sennheiser HD 800 review

If huge price tags cause you to suffer nosebleeds, then you may want to ring your local hospital to arrange a blood transfusion before reading this review of the Sennheiser HD 800 headphones. You'll get an absolutely first-rate listening experience and top-notch design if you decide to invest, though 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

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

Denon AH-D5000 headphones review

Quite simply, the Denon AH-D5000 blew us away. Although they are encased in mahogany, this set of cans is surprisingly light. More importantly, listening to music through these headphones is like an orgy for your ears, but are you ready for this calibre of sound? 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

Klipsch Image S4 review

The Image S4 noise-isolating earphones are spectacular, offering sound quality on a par with, or better than, sets that cost far more. They're also extremely comfortable and come with a number of handy extras. Just take care with the cable -- it doesn't look particularly durable Read more
