Nokia BH-905

In terms of audio quality and comfort, the Nokia BH-905 is certainly one of the best stereo Bluetooth headsets out there.

Sony Walkman X-series (16GB) NWZ-X1050

Great sound, brilliant OLED touchscreen, noise cancellation and as much YouTube as your Wi-Fi can handle. Shame about the extortionate price.

Reviews

  • Sony Walkman X-series (32GB) NWZ-X1060

    After our preview, we're enchanted with the touchscreen Walkman, but fear that it will only appeal to a small minority of the MP3 player market, namely non-conformists and music aficionados with a burning touchscreen itch.

  • Bose On-Ear Headphones

    The Bose On-Ear Headphones are compact headphones with a comfortable fit, but you can get better sounding models for half the price.

  • Denon AH-C751 sound-isolating earphones

    Don't consider them a choice for your workouts, but for seriously impressive sound quality without being full-sized headphones, the AH-C751s are practically unrivalled.

  • Cygnett GrooveZone headphones

    Mmm, shiny: Cygnett's gleaming noise-isolating headphones are a little flimsy but deliver solid audio.

  • Nokia 5700 XpressMusic

    Although it's not brimming with features, Nokia's twisty 5700 is a decent enough music phone, but its poor quality headphones and other minor flaws let it down.

  • Creative Aurvana X-Fi headphones

    The Creative Aurvana X-Fi headphones are a good option for bass-loving frequent fliers who have the money to spend and don't mind others eavesdropping on their listening experience.

  • Sony Ericsson W580i

    Sony Ericsson's W580i is a sexy, thin slider that you'll want to carry in your pocket for its MP3 music player, radio or just to use the built-in pedometer.

  • JVC HA-NCX77

    The JVC HA-NCX77 noise canceling earbuds inspire little complaint. Good sound quality, useful extras, and a relatively low price point make them a fine option for commuters and frequent fliers.
