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.

  • Creative Aurvana Air

    The Creative Aurvana Air is a beautiful looking and sounding set of headphones, but it's expensive and not suited to public transport.

  • Cowon S9

    The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.

  • Samsung S2 Pebble

    Have you tried squeezing blood out of a stone? How about music out of a pebble? The Samsung S2 Pebble is a screenless MP3 player with an LED just under the surface that blinks different colours as you listen to music.

  • Samsung YP-S5 (2GB)

    The S5 takes Samsung's touch-button, speaker-enabled K5 and slims it down. We like it, but what's with the mutant earphones?

  • Creative MuVo T200 (4GB)

    It's tough trying to live up to your older sibling. Just ask Creative's MuVo T200, which struggles to match the company's Zen Stone on every spec.

  • Creative Aurvana Live headphones

    These headphones are designed with the idea that you may want to listen from analog as well as digital sources. They're everyman's cans, delivering solid sound quality across all genres of music.

  • Creative Aurvana in-ear headphones

    If you need lightweight, quality in-ear earphones and don't want to break the bank, check out the Creative Aurvanas, which match up quite well against the Shure E2cs.
