With their QuietComfort 45, Bose are committed to a consistent product: these new over-ears come with active noise cancelling (ANC, noise suppression), long battery life and great sound. Compared to the competition, however, they lack some important features. Will it be enough?
After we tested the PI7 some time ago and found them to be pretty good, we were naturally curious to see how the PI5s from Bowers & Wilkins, which have been stripped of a few features, would perform. It was already clear after the first...
Bowers & Wilkins like to take their time in the innovation race and do not always try to jump on the technology-driven bandwagon immediately. Better late and done properly was what I thought when B&W announced the first True Wireless in-ears in their range with...
Bang & Olufsen launches the HX, a successor to the H9 that is supposed to offer more in all respects - except weight. At 285 grams, it occupies a top spot in the lightweight ear-cup league, which makes them exceedingly pleasant to wear right from...
The Danish high-end manufacturer Bang & Olufsen celebrate their 95th birthday with the special model H95, which - as of 2020 - seeks to combine all their experience and technical know-how in a pair of stylish ANC headphones.
With the Fidelio X3 Philips are targeting an audience who are more concerned with High Fidelity than with True Wireless or Noise Cancelling. The sheer listening pleasure of these sophisticated headphones is in the relaxed, peaceful atmosphere they create.
The next popular on-ear variant of the Beats headphone range should actually be the Solo 4, but the Apple division has instead put a "Pro" on the table - for good reason. If "Pro" equates with "progress", then this pretty much applies to a product...
As the PX5 on-ear version quite impressed us (see the test here), Bowers & Wilkins also sent their top model from the 2019 line-up to the editors. The essential difference is the design: Enclosing the ear instead of lying on the ear, so the only...
Bowers & Wilkins is one manufacturer who would never be forgiven for making mistakes as, over several decades, this British brand has earned such a good reputation. As expected, trying out these 254-gram versions of the PX5 didn't bring any special surprises - except for...
For those not familiar with König & Meyer (or K&M, for short), the manufacturer from Wertheim am Main in southwestern Germany is popular for their microphone stands that are available all around the world. "Stands for Music" is the K&M claim, so it goes without...
With the QuietComfort 35, Bose offers wireless noise-cancelling headphones that you’d be hard-pressed to improve and continue to be one of the top sellers in their category still more than two years after they first hit the market. With the release of version II, however,...
With the Beoplay H9i, B&O Play introduce an upgraded version of their premium model, the H9, with features that hold up well to heavyweights like Sony, Wilkins, Beats and Bose. In fact, it’s a highly competitive option, right down to the price.
Fans of B&O Play headphones usually pay keen attention to two things: how they look and how they sound. Rightly so. The Danish audio-visual company has worked these elements into its design philosophy for some time now, with said philosophy proving a recipe for success....
Apple’s successful subsidiary Beats now releases its third iteration of its successful headphone Beats Studio with an eye to broaden its following even further. The result is a pair of headphones that strive to convince with its sound as much as its functionality, without skimping...
A quality place to store and display your favourite headphones.
Any brand who celebrates their success with flagship stores in exclusive locales should not show any weakness when it comes to their product offering. Let’s see if the Beoplay H4, the latest addition to the Bang & Olufsen family and a Bluetooth variant on an...
