Wireless headphones look great on paper, but can be hit-and-miss, with high prices and ropey sound quality at times. How do these do?

Want audiophile-quality sound for your Mac, iPad or iPod?

Do the Sennheiser RS 180 Open Digital Wireless Headphones live up to their price?

You don't realise how much a cable hinders until it's gone

New budget headphone has all those enviable Sennheiser trademarks

There are two ways to cut out ambient noise. The first is to buy a pair of earphones that wedge into your ear canal. The second is to buy headphones that cut out ambient noise with phase-inversion technology. Step forward the PXC 350s...

Background noise is arguably the biggest single problem affecting music on the move. One can simply try to block it, of course, but active electronic noise cancelling looks the most attractive option.

Of all the headphone specialists, Sennheiser probably offers the broadest and most closely spaced range, with something for practically every conceivable application.

Sennheiser's range of headphones covers every base imaginable, but it seems to have been a while since we looked at any of its cheaper hi-fi models. Do these HD 485 phones offer a bargain approximation of the performance of the rather wonderful HD 650s?

The quality from Sennheiser's PMX 70 headphones is great. Considering they cost just £23, it's perfectly acceptable. Sennheiser rarely drops the ball when it comes to sound quality, and here it's managed to strike another good balance...

Sennheiser's vast range of headphones doesn't just include models for portable audio; the company has so many designs that they get divided into several categories.

We have to admit to having a real soft spot for Sennheiser headphones. We particularly like its trademark 'twist to fit' system, which hooks asmaller rubber pad into your outer ear.

There are so many alternatives to Apple's iPod earphones that it's almost impossible knowing where to start when looking to buy a new pair. Coming in at just £25 are the Sennheiser MX 500s

A seasoned iChat user soon realises that the built-in microphone on their Mac is no match for a dedicated microphone, and it's worth investing in a headset if you want to pursue internet phone calls using your broadband connection.

The music player is the bringer of sweet mercy to the noise, filth and crowd-addled commuter. If a stressful journey on public transport is part of your daily routine, investing in a good set of earphones could make a real difference

There's no point spending £100 on a decent MP3 player and then dilutingthe sound quality with bog-standard earbuds. If you can stretch toanother £30, try these brilliant alternatives from Teutonic audiotitans Sennheiser, complete with cortex-pounding bass

For such a small outlay these headphones give out a very accurateand balanced sound, but we have doubts about their general build quality. We suspect that Sennheiser, pushed to create headphones at a certain price point

Everyone who tried these headphones was impressed by their soundquality, notably more so than for other sets we have recently had in.These are a traditional set of headphones...

The PXC 250 NoiseGards are noise-cancelling headphones that cut awaysteady, low-frequency background noise. We tried them in a variety ofchallenging test sites, the most dramatic of which...
Sennheiser are one of the most well respected names in the world of headphones, producing an entire range of models from seriously expensive reference sets to small portables

Remember the first time you heard music through headphones? Wasn't it amazing? These days we're all used to using headphones with our iPods and portable CD players, but we seldom use with our Macs because there is little ambient noise in the home
In a world where DVD players costing over £100 are now considered virtually high-end, a £150 pair of headphones needs to be pretty darn special. And luckily, these don't disappoint too much
