Reviews

Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones

The original and still the best, the Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones sound good and look great, but if you're looking for an exciting result these aren't for you.
Tivoli Audio NetWorks

Despite a couple of shortcomings, the sound and look of the Tivoli Audio NetWorks Internet/FM radio makes up for a lot of its niggles.
Logitech Super Fi 5

Logitech's in-ear Super Fi 5s claim to have the same sonic signature as its custom monitors.
Sennheiser IE 8

This pair of sound-isolating earphones is one of our all-time favourites, with explosive bass that dance fans will adore.
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

The Custom-3 'phones are bursting with detail, warmth and power, but their design and fit won't suit everyone.
Audio Technica ATH-ANC3 earphones

As noise-cancelling earphones the ANC3s are superb, with decent overall sound quality. They're not without their sonic slip-ups here and there, but casual listeners will find them very pleasant indeed.
Klipsch Image sound-isolating earphones

The Images are easily the most comfortable earphones we've ever worn, and possibly the most comfortable in the world. But get ready to pony up some serious dosh.
