AKG K 340 review

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:49:02 +0000

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

AKG K 390 review

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:23:01 +0000

The AKG K 390 earphones offer a sleek design and generally impressive sound quality, whether or not the noise-cancelling function is activated. The earbuds and noise-cancelling module are fairly large, which might put off some users, but these are good earphones nevertheless

Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050 (X series) review

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:59:02 +0000

The Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050 is a pricy portable media player, but it offers some distinct advantages over its rivals. Chief among them are its effective on-board noise-cancelling technology, excellent OLED touchscreen and truly fantastic audio quality. But is it better than the iPod touch?

AKG K 702 review

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:19:02 +0000

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

Woo Audio WA2 headphone amplifier review

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 16:44:01 +0000

To put it simply, the Woo Audio WA2 is the best headphone amplifier in its price category by a mile. It provides an experience that is completely luscious -- deep, smooth bass, rich vocal reproduction, and a sweet, spacious, notably airy treble that's smashing for live classical performances, although can handle anything you throw its way. Superb

Denon AH-D7000 headphones review

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:27:02 +0000

These Denon AH-D7000s are the most exciting headphones of the year, and they've trumped our previous favourites, the D5000s. At £800 they're very expensive, but they also provide excellent sound quality with rock, folk, acoustic, electronic and metal alike
