Headphones

you won't find anything better in this price range

Advantages: cheap, good sound quality
Disadvantages: become uncomfortable after prolonged periods of wear

I bought these about 2 months ago when looking for something to keep me entertained at my computer for long periods without distubing my fellow house mates. For the low price these things go for they're incredible, The sound quility is very nice and it does quite a good job at keeping it to your ears only. They're quite comfortable to begin with but after an hour or so you'll probably notice that your ears will be aching and sweating a little, but ...

Review of Sennheiser HD 201

Loud crunchy bassy headphones

Advantages: Rather bassy, the volume is quite loud by default, cheap, good quality sound,
Disadvantages: long periods, ears/jaw tends to hurt! Poor quality build.

...audio/visual knowledge. I knew that Sennheiser was a good manufacturer of headphones so I was quite eager to buy them after reading good reviews. The sound produced by the headphones is just short of amazing; especially for the price I paid for it. Just £40! The bass is a bit 'chunky' at times but I quite like my bass to be thick and the vocals comes out really well. When checking out older albums I used to spin a lot, I begin to notice details I ...
...the rhythm of the song or the drumming that seeps out in between the guitar/bass really well. Noise-cancelling feature is quite good here, even though it is not a must as it isn't quite closed. But it performs quite well, I was blasting my heavy metal music at top volume in a packed library and no-one gave me a glance, which shows how it doesn't leak sound out of the headphones. Bonus! Also, I can hardly hear a thing coming from outside; if I'm approaching ...

Review of Sennheiser HD 212 PRO

Awesome looking headphones that sound great

Advantages: Very stylish, and very loud
Disadvantages: Pricey and uncomfortable after long usage

...look brilliant. Mine have the Skullcandy skull printed on them in red, and came with another set of covers in black. Maybe not the headphone of choice for more active people, as they tend to fall off whilst running, but for car journeys and walking about, they are amazing. Incredibly loud when the device they're plugged into is full volume. After a couple of hours the weight of them pulls down on the ears a little and causes a light ache (with me ...

Review of Skullcandy ICON

Bose Quietcomfort 3.

Advantages: Almost flawless sound and great superb noise cancelling technology
Disadvantages: Unlike normal headphones they always need battery to operate

...I think the guys at Bose tried really hard to get the sound flawless but in doing so allowed the sound produced to lack personality. Usability These headphones come very well equipped. They come with a quality case which the Q3 fits comfortably into. There is enough space in the case to accommodate its charger or even a moderate sized mp3 player. As you can probably guess the headphones need power to operate, even if you want to use them without ...
...continuously replacing costly batteries. However Bose have been clever by designing their own rechargeable battery which fits beautifully into one of the headphones. The design makes it almost pleasant to change the battery, which you don’t have to do very often as a full charge will last about 20 hours. Looks and tactility Bose have not only worked on making these headphones sound great, but also looking and feeling pleasant. The whole unit is beautifully ...

Review of Bose Quietcomfort 3

Shure e2c best headphones for ipods

Advantages: well designed, superb clarity
Disadvantages: ?

I bought these earphones as a replacement for my ipod headphones which broke. I bought these after trying out my friends pair and I was absolutely amazed.Sound quality wise the detail and definition that you have been missing while listening to your favourite tracks cannot be put into words. The headphones are very well designed and are packaged in a small zip case which is handy for storing your headphones. When you first use the headphones they ...
...get a nice tight fit which is good if you are gonna use them in the gym. You get loads of adaptors tor make them fit which is really good for isolating outside noise. I have tried similar headphoes and in my opinion best headphones you can buy under £50. ...
