While it doesn't do much to distinguish itself from other neckband-style headphones from a design standpoint, the Jabra Halo Smart seems sturdily built, performs very well as a headset for making calls and offers decent sound quality for music if you...

You can find the Plantronics Voyager Focus UC for $199 at most retailers. Even at that price, it costs more than a standard mono Bluetooth headset. But it replaces a lot of devices. For road warriors, its sound quality is good enough to use as a...

Admittedly, you could argue that high-resolution audio is immense overkill for your average music listener, as many people have said (including other members of the Expert Reviews team) that they simply can't tell the difference between normal and...

The Denon AH-MM400s are a really impressive pair of headphones. They're solidly built and comfortable to wear, and are able to deliver everything from soaring vocals to punchy bass in superb quality.

For most people, the biggest stumbling block for the Sennheisers is the price. These are seriously expensive headphones, even by high-end wireless standards. Still, if you can’t quite stretch to the £380 price tag, there’s a second model called the...

Sony announced a number of new audio products at CES 2015 earlier in the year, and we recently got our hands on the MDR-1A BT headphones, which have some

Sometimes I have so much fun reviewing loudspeakers and cinema systems that I actually get guilt attacks. This review, of the third iteration of Focal's Viva Utopia, was one of those occasions...

Its big, its bold, its wireless and it has a striking design. These are the first impressions that you will get. Put them on, the ROG Strix Wireless delivers exceptional game sounds but at a cost. No, I don’t mean that they retail for around HKD$1200,...

Chunky metal finish, tuneable filters and great sound. What more could you ask for from your in-ear headphones?

Their industrial design may be divisive, but the V-Moda Crossfade Wireless are a lot more comfy to wear than they perhaps look. The snug fit and memory foam earcups stand out as a point of difference compared to most loose-fitting over-ears these days,...

The NuForce BE Sport3 features excellent sound, build quality and battery life. Overall, they're one of the best wireless headphones you can buy, even if you don't work out. NuForce knocked it out of the park with the BE Sport3 headphones. They're an...

The Sennheiser Momentum 2 On-Ear Wireless headphones are a really nice package let down by a price that's simply too premium for what's on offer. They sound good, look good, have good controls and acceptable noise cancellation, but these features can't...

Having used the Audio-Technica MSR7NC headphones for dozens of hours, if not hundreds, we continue to be drawn back to them as our go-to over-ear headphones. The reason is simple: they're comfortable and they sound great - whatever we've thrown at them.

Marshall checks the boxes required for a set of headphones to be worthy of your time. However, the lack of premium build materials and volume controls make the high asking price a little unreasonable.

Skullcandy's Grind headphones look the part, are packed with features and surprise with sound quality expected of on-ear cans that are twice as pricey. These are the perfect choice for budget listeners.

Bang & Olufsen has achieved a great looking set of headphones in the H7. Problem is, for their £329 price tag there are far better performers out there - and we would certainly pay the extra for the step-up H8 headphones within the company’s range.

JBL's E35 headphones deliver a clean, balanced sound signature that doesn't skimp on the lows. We're also fans of the Urbanears Humlan, the M-Audio M50, and the Marshall Major II.
