What Hi Fi Sound and Vision

Grado iGrado
It seems a bit strange calling a pair of iPod-white earbuds 'retro', but amusingly (well, it amused us briefly) that's the case now that Apple has ditched its white players.
Fortunately, if you want to stay bang up to date, the iGrados are also available in black (no, we won't call it iPod black – black has been around even longer than Apple).
A hip-shaking iPod upgrade
Anyway, no matter the colour, or the portable player you partner them with, the chunky iGrados will do a highly musical job of making your hips shake as you go about your daily tasks.
Yes, they take ages to run in and leak sound like nobody's business – so they're not ideal for regular train commuters – yet they offer more detail, range, sense of scale and sheer musicality than anything in this price-class.
