Sagem H4 Bluetooth headset: Titchy talker

Crave On the front there's a small LED that indicates its status and on the back, as you can see, there's an earpiece. Our only problem with the H4 is that the earpiece is completely round and rather large, making it really uncomfortable to stick in your...

Shure SE310 Sound Isolating Earphones review

Reviews But closer inspection will reveal that the SE310s have a more curvaceous earpiece than that of the E series. The model colour -- black or white -- also applies to the colour of the earpiece, rather than that of the cable.

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Studio review

Reviews The earpieces, after a bit of twisting, sit firmly and comfortably in the ear canal, and the different sizes of earpiece covers not only aid this process but also effectively block out most room noise, making them ideal for noisier environments...

Jabra BT3010 review

Reviews Turn the headset over and you'll find a simple rubberised earpiece plus an optional ear hook. We found that the earpiece fits a little loosely in the ear, so we needed the ear hook to keep it in place.

Nokia 7280 review

Reviews One patch covers the earpiece and the other provides a thumbgrip on the right-hand side. The case wraps around the phone like a corset, concealing everything except the earpiece. Likewise, changing the earpiece volume involves a press and a spin...

Reviews Dual-armature' means there's both a sub and a tweeter in each earpiece, and the earpieces themselves are miniature to say the least! A price around £129 should get you a stonking good set of earphones.

Sennheiser MX W1: Wireless in-ear earphones

Crave Unlike Etymotic's ety8s, the MX W1s transmit audio to each earpiece without compression, using the 2.4GHz frequency band, meaning those lossless audio files on your iPod classic won't be tarnished as a result of limited Bluetooth bandwidth.

Accessories for your phone

Reviews You can get a headset with a boom-style microphone that rests close to your mouth or an earbud-style unit that places the mic either on the cord or above the earpiece itself. Some phones allow you to swap covers, giving your handset a quick facelift.
