Monster Beats by Dr Dre headphones review

Reviews It's not always easy to get excited about a pair of headphones on first glance. Generally, the listening experience, which is gathered only after putting a set on and sitting down with some favourite music, is what draws people in.

Sony XDR-M1 review

Reviews Most DAB radios are conservatively styled boxes that sit on a shelf in your kitchen or bedroom, tethered to the mains by a snaking cable -- but it doesn't have to be that way. The headphone cable acts as the aerial, so it's best to extend it as far...

ViewSonic ViewDock VX1945wm review

Reviews At the rear are a pair of cable-tidy hoops located on the stalk that separates the screen from the base. We can understand the logic behind it -- it would reduce cable clutter, increase convenience and stand out from the crowd -- but we still found...

BenQ FP2091 review

Reviews The display also has a proliferation of USB ports: one upstream and four downstream (one USB cable is included). Given the number of input options, you could accumulate lot of cable clutter with this display.

Sharp Aquos LC-15L1E review

Reviews You'll also have to remember to bring the wireless remote with you (a built-in caddy would have been nice), as well as the remote controls of any gear you're operating, such as a DVD player or a cable box.

Shure SE210 sound isolating headphones review

Reviews StrengthsThe SE210s come with a short 0.5m headphone cable and a detachable 1m extension cable. The SE210s may seem expensive for headphones at around £80, but they're actually the entry-level model in audio expert Shure's new sound-isolating range.

Sennheiser IE 8 sound-isolating earphones review

Reviews Like many high-end earphones, these are to be worn with the cable going up over the top of the ears. No extension cable or 6.3mm adaptor is included, which, considering the price and competition, is a bit poor (pun intended).
