Headphones

Stylish and sonically talented, what more do you want?

Neatly packaged, but the sound and noise cancelling aren’t up to it

Not bad in general, but thick bass knocks them down to average

Comfortable, easy-going headphones with a refined sound

The stunning AKG K3003i headphones made our jaws drop in every conceivable way

The noise-cancelling Sennheiser PXC 250-II are dainty which makes them great for the commute

The Sony MDR-NC200D sound better with their noise-cancelling turned off, not good if you are on a noisy plane

In active mode the Blackbox M10-RB noise-cancelling headphones sound clearer and more spacious

Decent sound, but there are better noise-cancelling options

Good, but the low frequencies dominate a little too much and treble can get brash
