We last tested the Beyerdynamic SX10s in 2006 and they're now sounding their age.
Compared with the best at this price they lack detail, clarity and control, and they're not as comfortable or sturdy in position as newer rivals.
Sure they go loud and offer plenty of bass weight, but we now expect more.
