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?
