Sony Walkman NWZ-E453 review

The Sony Walkman NWZ-E453 isn't quite as slick or good-looking as its iPod rivals, but its simplicity, affordability and portability make it a worthy competitor none the less. Overall, it's a winner. 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

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

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

Libratone Beat review

If you value simplicity and design over audio quality, the wireless Libratone Beat speaker will be worth considering. But we're not convinced it offers £550 worth of audio oomph. Read more

Sennheiser HD 595 headphones review

Two massive earcups shelter your fragile lugs, and a soft velvety coating keep these massive cans comfy atop your discerning bonce. The Sennheiser HD 595s welcome you to the world of high-end headphones, without requiring a bank heist to pay for them. Their open-back design may make you less than popular, however 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

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 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
