Reviews

  • Sennheiser PXC 310 headset

    Noise-cancelling headphones are a necessity for any frequent flyer, and if you have the money, the PXC 310 is an excellent example of what you'll need.

    Specs: 3.5mm stereo , Closed , 1.4 m

  • Philips SHL8800

    The funky replaceable covers, a tight fit and overwhelming mid-bass mean the Philips SHL8800 aren't the best headphones for the money.

    Specs: 3.5mm stereo , Closed , 15 - 24,000 Hz, 107db

  • Sennheiser HD 438

    The HD 438 just falls shy of a fully immersive audio experience, but these mid-range headphones are very comfortable for the home listener.

    Specs: 3.5mm stereo , Closed , 17-22500 Hz, 32 Ω
