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

Sennheiser HD 25-1-II Adidas Originals review
The Sennheiser HD 25-1-II Adidas Originals are heinous in every respect besides sound quality. A £200 set of headphones shouldn't feel so cheap and uncomfortable. 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

Bose QuietComfort 15 review
The QuietComfort 15s are no bargain, but they're ludicrously comfortable, and deliver the best sound quality that we've heard so far from noise-cancelling headphones. In fact, the level of detail that they offer may inspire you to relisten to your entire music library Read more

Ultimate Ears triple.fi 10 Headphones review
If you're searching for stellar-sounding in-ear headphones from a reliable, high-quality brand, the Ultimate Ears triple.fi 10 earphones fit the bill -- just make sure the gigantic earbuds fit in your ears. With three balanced armatures in each ear piece, the buds are large and potentially uncomfortable for the smaller-eared among us 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

AKG K 702 review
They're expensive, but the K 702 professional, over-the-ear headphones offer near state-of-the-art sound quality that's only bettered by much more expensive rivals. The extra-soft ear pads are also so comfortable that you're likely to forget you're wearing headphones at all 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 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
