Headphones reviews & products

The Beats Studio Pro headphones face a mighty challenge if they’re going to offer a serious alternative to class-leading rivals like the Sony WH-1000XM5.

Earfun has yet again squeezed a stack of functionality into a very reasonably priced package. Is three the magic number for its Air Pro true wireless earbuds?

UPDATED No longer the latest and greatest Sony wireless earbuds, but still stunners at their more affordable price tag.

T+A has raised the ceiling for wireless noise-cancelling headphones performance.

Improvements across the board to battery life, ANC and acoustics should result in a better-than-before Beats performance, but can it beat the class leaders at this price?

UPDATED The Panasonic RZ-S500W make for a classy debut as the company's first noise-cancelling true wireless earbuds.

UPDATED Do Cambridge’s Melomania 1 Plus mark a return to form, or was it crazy to have replaced the excellent originals?

UPDATED Not the latest Bose noise-cancelling earbuds, but still amazing all-rounders and up there with rivals from Sony and Sennheiser.

UPDATED Sennheiser’s wired earbuds look the part and have some sonic strengths, but they struggle against the very best.

UPDATED Jabra’s Elite 85t noise-cancelling earbuds aren’t without talent, but come up a little short in the face of strong competition.
