Headphone Reviews

Beyerdynamic’s affordable IEMs offer impressive bass at a tempting low price, but can they compete with rivals such as Sennheiser and Meze Audio?

I tested the JBL Live Buds 4, and they’re an excellent-sounding option with a cool charging case.

The Noble Audio Vanguard supply impeccably detailed and well-balanced sound at a relatively modest price-point.

These JBL earbuds have a touchscreen-fitted charging case, and they might just be my favorite model of 2026 — here’s why.

The Baseus Bowie MC2 undercut most rival open-style earbuds, but don't miss out on any major features.

Is everything coming up roses for Nothing's new $99 / £99 noise-cancelling earbuds? Depends on whether the USP sits well with you, I think… 

The Shokz OpenDots Air miss some flashy features of their flagship siblings, but the low price and reliability makes them a solid buy

The HEDDphone D1 headphones are a stunning pair of mid-budget over-ears, with a proprietary driver design that kills audiophile-grade options three times the price

With the awkwardly named ‘The Arranger’, Austrian Audio wants to try and bridge the gap between its excellent entry-level models and its excellent high-end products…

The Noble Osprey look and sound great, but fit issues result in an infuriating listening experience.
