Beyerdynamic DTX 50 noise-isolating headphones review

Reviews Although they're easy to slip off the headphones and clean, it's not quite as convenient as standard in-ear 'phones, which can be cleaned very easily. If you're a fan of dance, drum 'n bass, hip-hop or R'n'B, and don't want to break the £50 mark...

Sennheiser PXC 450 headphones review

Reviews Sennheiser's PXC 450 noise-cancelling headphones claim to offer outstanding sound quality and optimum protection against ambient noise. Should the battery powering the noise-cancellation expire, the bypass switch can be flicked, converting the...

Audio Technica ATH-W1000 headphones review

Reviews Audio Technica's most high-end pair of headphones are the ATH-W5000, costing £700. Solid wooden enclosures house these headphones, yet don't add the heft you might expect -- the W1000s are still fairly lightweight.

Sennheiser HD 600 headphones review

Reviews When we reviewed the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones, we rightfully called them 'fit for a king'. During our listening tests, we were able to wear the HD s for hours at a time, in some cases nearly an entire workday, without the annoying sweat that...

Sony DR-BT50 Bluetooth headphones review

Reviews However, Sony's new DR-BT50s are ultra-stylish headphones aimed, we assume, not at the conversation-heavy white-van man, but at the trendy 20-somethings who want to rock out with their MP3-laden mobile phone.

Monster Beats by Dr Dre headphones review

Reviews It's not always easy to get excited about a pair of headphones on first glance. Not so with the Monster Beats by Dr Dre headphones, a sweet-looking set that will relieve you of £280. If you wear these headphones in public, you will turn heads.

Sennheiser PXC 350 headphones review

Reviews Safe to say we were impressed with the dynamic abilities of these headphones. It was a button that amplified peoples' voices into the headphones so you could easily talk to those around you without stopping your music.

Denon AH-D5000 headphones review

Reviews Denon's new AH-D5000 headphones have been on our list of things to drool over since we first glanced at them. At £500, they're not for the faint-hearted, nor the light-walleted -- these are headphones for serious audiophiles and those who can truly...

High-tech headphones

Reviews Most consumers are happy to spend hundreds of pounds on an MP3 player, yet often forget the importance of a good set of headphones. They automatically assume that the cans that ship with their iPod or other music player are up to the task, but the...

Best high-end headphones

Reviews Denon's AH-D5000s cost around £500 and are so good we use them as reference headphones. In our opinion, they stand as a benchmark against which all headphones can be judged. They're beyond the realms of comfortable and they're remarkably open for...

Best earphones for under £80

Reviews Shure's SE210 earphones are no longer the entry-level model in the SE range, and have never deserved the "budget" tag they have occasionally been given in the past. They're a capable pair of 'phones in the sub-£80 category, with extremely...

JVC HA-NC250 noise-cancelling headphones review

Reviews JVC is not exactly a newcomer to the world of noise-cancelling headphones, but most of its previous cans were aimed at the budget end of the market. The headphones are built using a double housing construction, which helps to insulate them from...

JVC HA-NC80 noise cancelling headphones review

Reviews Noise-cancelling headphones are designed to reduce the sound level before it even reaches your eardrum, and JVC claims the HA-NC80s will block 75 per cent of such ambient noise. DesignThe HA-NC80s fold up into a convenient flat semi-circle shape...

Denon AH-D7000 headphones review

Reviews Denon's AH-D5000 headphones were previously our favourite pair of cans since the Sennheiser HD 650s. They're one of the most comfortable pairs of headphones we've ever used for hours of perpetual listening, beating the Audio Technica, Sennheiser...
