The good:

  • General sound quality
  • Design
  • Insanely comfortable
  • Good accessories

The bad:

  • Steep price
  • Muddy high-end sound

The bottomline:

The most comfortable earphones we've ever worn, but with weak high-end clarity for this price point.

      The Custom-3 'phones are bursting with detail, warmth and power, but their design and fit won't suit everyone.

      Koss hits a home run with the PortaPros. Love or hate the design, there's no denying the sound quality here: they're the ideal companion for mobile audiophiles and home cinema enthusiasts.

    • Audio Technica ATH-W1000 headphones

      An exceptional pair of reference headphones for the price with sonic accuracy across the board and brutal detail from upper low end to the top of the high end.

      Sony's curvy MDR-AS20Js are a suitable choice for MP3 player owners who simply want a more secure pair of earphones for the gym, but don't need better audio quality than that of stock earbuds.

      From dance to metal, folk to pop, rock to Balinese gamelan, these cans shine with their relentless detail, wide soundstage and clarity. What they lack in low-end presence they make up for in brightness and high-end clarity.
