Headphones Reviews

The Final ZE8000 MK2 are a well-furnished and detailed-sounding pair of wireless earbuds, but stiff competition and a few sonic niggles could hinder their progress to the very top.

Meze’s revised Empyrean headphones seek to deliver greater resolution and neutrality than the much-admired originals. Do they succeed?

Austrian Audio’s flagship headphones are beautifully made and set sky-high standards.

With improved battery life, noise cancellation and a handful of new features, can the Shure Aonic 50 Gen 2 keep up with the pack?

Sennheiser’s mid-range on-ear noise-cancellers try to fill rather a large gap in the headphone market.

With ample features, decent ANC, and clean, organised, balanced sound, the Melomania M100 are a recommendable mid-price pair of wireless earbuds.

The affordable EarFun Air 2 will appeal to anyone seeking out plenty of features without breaking the bank. Sonically, though, they’re not quite up to scratch.

Sennheiser's new premium wireless earbuds take the fight to Apple, Bose and Sony with superb results.

Denon’s PerL Pro offer extensive personalisation for sound and controls, but can these premium earbuds live up to their potential and topple the current class leaders?

The Audio-Technica ATH-TWX7 are a solid effort, but a lack of spark makes them tough to fully recommend.
