Headphones

Not cheap, but comfortable, wonderful sound and worth every penny

Lovely design and decent musicality are let down by woolly bass

Another premium headphone to add to your shortlist, but not the most exciting sound

Best home on-ears £150+, Awards 2012. Rousingly musical headphones with no obvious deficiencies

A slightly mixed bag, but the Audio-Technicas’ eccentricities are appealling

Big and bold, the HFI-780s offer excitement in spades

Supremely comfortable, but the sound is just too boring

Light and snug, provide a cheerfully forthright sound

Don't set any new standards, but they're not without merit and like to party

A bit of a triumph of style over substance
