Qstik EVOQ Bluetooth Headset Review

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

You can pick up a tolerably good Bluetooth headset right now for just £9.95 and not only make yourself look like a cyborg with the daringly shaped ear-piece but connect the supplied stereo earbuds and rock out to your music from an A2DP compatible phone.

Sennheiser CX550 Style II In-Ear Earphones

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Review by Rob Farley The Sennheiser CX550 Style II earphones are your typical, in-ear, noise blocking affair. These noise blocking, sound producing earplugs are loved by as many as they are hated and their form factor is as close as you can get to the Marmite of ‘phones. Most of the “hate it” camp, however, [...]

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Back in October the Sennheiser PXC 450 were rated the best noise canceling headphone on the market, in november a black edition was released dubbed the PXC 350 and retailing for some £70 less.

Friday, December 8th, 2006

Originally written for elektriq.com The MX 55 VC headphones are one of the street series, they boast a twist-to-fit design that looks uncomfortable at first glance but, once properly configured, feels good and locks the headphones into your ears to prevent them falling out at every opportunity- as in-ear phones so often do.
