Reviews

  • 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

  • Bose QuietComfort 15

    While they're no bargain, the Bose QuietComfort 15s currently offer the best sound and silencing capabilities in a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.
