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

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

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

Bose QuietComfort 3 review

Bose's luxuriously designed QuietComfort models have set the standard for premium noise-cancelling headphones. The QuietComfort 3s are significantly smaller than their predecessors, and they feature an on-ear design rather than the over-the-ear format of the QuietComfort 2s. They also usefully come with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery Read more

Klipsch Image X10 review

The tiny Image X10 headphones carry a hefty price tag, but they're super-comfortable, do a good job of blocking out external noise, and offer excellent sound quality, with plenty of bass. If you're willing to fork out the required dosh, we doubt you'll be disappointed 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

Audio Technica ATH-W1000 headphones review

Like their more expensive older siblings, the Audio Technica ATH-W1000s provide an emphasis on brightness and exceptional musical clarity. While they lack some low-end emphasis, these comfortable, closed-back headphones are excellent for reference use in a studio Read more
