    • Bose mobile on-ear headset

      Bose mobile on-ear headset

      The sound quality and build of the Bose mobile on-ear headset is great but the premium you'll pay for the microphone attachment is daylight robbery.

    • Sony MDR-NC500D Digital Noise Cancelling Headphones

      Sony MDR-NC500D Digital Noise Cancelling Headphones

      The Sony MDR-NC500D Digital Noise Cancelling Headphones may lighten the wallet, but they are a great option for frequent fliers and tetchy commuters who need superior noise cancellation.

    • Klipsch Image X5 headphones

      Klipsch Image X5 headphones

      The Klipsch Image X5 earphones are a bit of an investment, but they're worth it if you demand excellent audio quality and have had trouble with ear bud fit in the past.

    • Sennheiser MM 50 for iPhone

      Sennheiser MM 50 for iPhone

      Compared to the headphones bundled with Apple's iPhone 3G the MM 50s are light years ahead. Exceptional sounding bass and its affordable price tag make the MM 50 a great choice for replacing those dodgy Apple ear buds.

    • Philips SHE9850 sound-isolating earphones

      Philips SHE9850 sound-isolating earphones

      An excellent all-rounder, with good detail, a balanced, warm sound and superb comfort and fit. Deeper bass and brighter treble exists in competing models, but for almost all genres of music and in most listening environments, the SHE9850s will impress and for a good price.
