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

Creative EP-630 review

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:36:02 +0000

If you want to step up from stock earbuds but aren't absurdly picky about audio quality and don't want to spend a fortune, the EP-630 earphones are a solid option. Durability may be an issue, but they're compact, comfortable, relatively stylish and offer good sound quality for the money

JVC Gumy review

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:16:02 +0000

Exceptionally cheap, the Gumy earphones don't offer the most comfortable fit we've ever encountered, but they do provide better sound quality than stock earbuds, and they look better too, thanks to their colourful styling. If you're short of funds, they're a decent option

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

Apple iPod touch (3rd gen, 64GB) review

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:06:02 +0000

Apple's third-generation iPod touch may lack a camera, but it's the best portable media player that you can currently get your hands on. As well as sporting a number of useful new features, such as voice control, a faster processor means it performs even more smoothly than before

JVC Marshmallow review

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:45:01 +0000

Although they're very inexpensive, the JVC Marshmallow earphones are a huge step up from stock earbuds. They offer a secure, comfortable fit, good sound quality across all genres, and decent noise-isolation capability. Available in a wide variety of colours, they're also fairly stylish

JayBird Endorphin Rush Athletic Earphones review

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:48:02 +0000

The Endorphin Rush Athletic Earphones are a good choice for fitness freaks looking for a super-secure fit and thumping, encompassing bass. The sound isolation may make them unsuitable for some types of outdoor exercise, but the solid build quality means they'll stand the test of time

Nixon Nomadic on-ear headphones review

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 10:41:02 +0000

The Nomadic on-ear headphones don't offer the best sound quality we've ever heard but they are exceptionally stylish. They have a sturdy design, too, and you can get them in a wide range of colours and configurations. A variety of handy extras, like a hard-shell carrying case, rounds out a decent package

Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220 review

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:05:02 +0000

If you can get a good fit with the MetroFi 220 earphones, you'll be rewarded with good sound quality across all musical genres, and solid noise isolation. For users of stock earphones looking to upgrade and still have money left in their wallet, the 220s are a worthy option

Nike Aero Sport Headphones review

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:34:01 +0000

Intended for use by fitness fanatics, the Aero Sport Headphones offer a secure fit and sleek, sweatproof design. They're also extremely easy to clean. Sound quality isn't their forte, so they're not the best headphones for day-to-day use, but they're a decent option for gym goers nonetheless
