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

Denon AH-NC732 headphones review

Denon's AH-NC732 headphones feel like a cross between two Bose Quiet Comfort models, and the result makes them excellent noise-cancellers with a comfy design. The fact that you can listen to music even when the noise-cancelling circuitry is deactivated is a definite plus. But do keep in mind the NC732's high price Read more

Skullcandy Smokin' Buds review

The Smokin' Buds are a decent budget option for people looking to upgrade from stock earphones. Competing models are more comfortable and offer better sound quality, but the Smokin' Buds seem durable, come in a range of eye-catching colours and offer some useful extra features, like an inline mic Read more

Sony MDR-AS20J Active Headphones review

The Sony MDR-AS20J Active Headphones will work for listeners who are used to listening to stock 'phones, but now want something that's suitable for jogging or the gym. One thing's for sure: they get loud enough to drown out machine whirs and disturbing human grunting 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
