Comments

These in-ear headphones come with removable ear bud covers in three sizes to ensure a comfortable fit. They achieved the highest score for audio quality of all the headphones tested, producing a warm, natural sound with plenty of bass. Our testers found they stayed securely in place even while jogging and sound leakage was minimal.

Features

Outside-ear headphones, hinged headband with swivelling foam ear-pads, 1400mm cable, storage box

Comments

With a hinged headband, these lightweight headphones can be folded up and stowed away in their hard carry case. Audio quality is excellent, with natural, detailed sound and good bass levels and they kept out external noise fairly well. There are soft foam pads to cushion your ears and our testers found them comfortable and surprisingly secure.

Outside-ear can-style headphones, noise cancellation, 1558mm cable, carry-bag

Comments

These headphones produce a very natural and smooth treble with lots of detail and depth and good sound quality overall. Our testers differed in their comfort assessments and the headband-based design means these are less suitable to use when jogging.

In-ear headphones, removable ear-bud covers (supplied: S, M, L), noise isolation, 1000mm asymmetric cable

Comments

Sound quality was reasonable overall and the rubber ear-bud covers gave a fair amount of noise isolation. They performed best with bass-heavy music and scored very highly for comfort.
