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.

V-Moda Bass Freq headphones review

Reviews Our ears get to hear a lot of great- (and horrible-) sounding headphones, but the style of these musical monitors rarely changes -- black and white synthetics are the norm, with an occasional chrome accent.

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...

Shure SE210 sound isolating headphones review

Reviews 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. ConclusionThe SE210's may be the entry-level headphones in the SE range, but that shouldn't...

Koss PortaPro headphones review

Reviews Just keep in mind that these came out decades before studio-quality, sound-isolating headphones became available to the consumer market, so they definitely won't block out the majority of ambient noise.

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...

Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 headphones review

Reviews Instead, a single AAA-size battery sits inside one ear cup under a compartment hidden behind the headphones' frame when in use. In addition, the audio jack is gold-plated to ensure decent transmission of audio, and the entire cable can be unhooked...

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.

Denon AH-D2000 headphones review

Reviews This material difference affects the tone of the headphones' bass, given that wooden enclosures tend to offer a more natural sound, but we'll come to that shortly. Okay, they've not got the true openness of, say, Sennheiser's HD 650s, but they're...

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...
