    • 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

      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.

    • Klipsch Custom-3 earphones

      Klipsch Custom-3 earphones

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

    • Koss PortaPro headphones

      Koss PortaPro headphones

      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

      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.
