High-tech headphones

Reviews High-end models like the Shure E500PTH can cost in excess of £400, but they give an exceptionally clear audio impression across the sound spectrum. Cheaper in-ear headphones like the Sennheiser CX 300 are a world apart from the Shure E500PTH, but...

Shure SE530: An audible ear orgy and everyone's invited

Crave Having seen the SE210s (review on its way) and the SE310s, we felt it only fair to get hold of a pair of what Shure claims are its most advanced sound-isolating headphones to date -- the new SE530s. These ultra high-end studio-grade headphones...

Hear the silence with Shure's new sound-isolating earphones

Crave While other companies threaten to bewilder us with flashing lights, loud music and tokens for the slot machines, Shure is taking a quieter approach to CES. The SE530 earphones are basically the same as the Shure E500PTHs (rated 9.0 Spectacular...

Klipsch Custom-3 earphones: High-end sound isolators

Crave When you think of earphones, you might think of Sennheiser, Etymotic or Shure. This is much like the Shure SE420s, another great pair of sound-isolators, but one woofer less than the flagship SE530s. The name that won't immediately jump out at you...

Klipsch Custom-3 earphones review

Reviews After a lengthy telephone conversation with Klipsch, we tried fitting, ironically, Shure's foam tips and they were a perfect fit. This isn't a new idea -- Shure's SE420s and Jays' q-Jays each have two per ear and the Shure SE530s have three.

Denon AH-C551 earphones review

Reviews The new C551s, which are available soon, sit in a category populated by Ultimate Ears, Shure and Etymotic. Their bullet-like build, made from a machined aluminium, offers a feel certain to be alien to dedicated fans of Shure 'phones.

Sony MDR-EX700 sound-isolating earphones review

Reviews These slick black beasts have waltzed up the earphone warpath, shaking their £200 fists at Shure, Ultimate Ears, Etymotic and Denon, and they're on sale now. Okay, they don't block out noise as well as Shure's thick foam or Etymotic's triple...

Denon AH-C700 earphones review

Reviews While Shure's equivalents reign in a body of plastic, Denon's babies are built with machined aluminium. At a price of £149, the C700s are up against the likes of Shure and Ultimate Ears. The emphasis of low- and mid-range sounds through Shure's...

q-Jays: Ears-on with world's smallest dual-armature earphones

Crave For £129 they're an alternative to Denon's superb AH-C700s or Shure's SE310s. The Shure SE310s are a more powerful earphone, but they don't offer the definition the Jays or Denon earphones offer. It's no secret we love midgets.

Photos: Ears-on with the Klipsch Custom-2 earphones

Crave Like the Custom-3s, we initially had a hard job fitting them, and we immediately swapped out the bundled silicone tips for the compatible silicone and foam tips from Shure's SE range. Finally, here's a comparison between the silicone tips supplied...

Do I need to pay more than £30 for earphones?

Digital Living Shure's SE series of earphones start from around £70 and offer an incredible improvement in sound quality. Over, say, Apple's white earbuds, the entry level Shure SE110 earphones offer significantly more bass and much greater definition.

Best earphones for under £60

Reviews These compare well to the Shure E2c earphones, but arguably offer better overall clarity. If you can't afford Shure's SE310s, these are a fine alternative, with excellent clarity in the high end. Sennheiser's CX 500s are one of our favourite new...

Creative Zen Aurvana review

Reviews Bass is surprisingly solid, and overall performance is good, or as good as a pair of £110 Shure E3Cs, which are bulkier than the Aurvanas. While we prefer the sound of the Shure E3Cs, the Aurvanas are a lot cheaper.

Etymotic ER-6i Isolator review

Reviews But we found the ER-6i to be highly comfortable -- arguably more so than other top in-ear headphones, including the Shure E3c or the Etymotic ER-4P. On the other hand, other people we spoke to preferred the fit of Shure's E3c and Sony's less...
