Chinese Takstar are not so well known in our latitudes, but the price of less than 300 for a pair of plano magnetic headphones arouses a natural curiosity. Because they usually tend to have one more digit in the price. Planagnetic (or “planar”) headphones can be compared in both construction and sound to electrostatic headphones. …
Not heard of BSE? We did not have that either, until we were contacted by the Swedish dealer. The abbreviation stands for Best Sound Electronics, and the company is from South Korea. The earplugs we have received for testing are made to specifications from Swedish Ilicon, which specializes in molded silicone pads. Which in turn …
When Skullcandy started, there was more attitude than content. But over the years, they have also grown up and produced headphones that even adults dare to be visible in, and which have received significantly better sound. Like the excellent budget headphones Grind, or the rudely cheap noise-reducing headphones Venue. A good example is that we …
Sony not only makes insanely beautiful luxury headphones like the MDR-Z1R, but also the best noise-canceling headphones, and very good mid-range headphones like the Sony WH-H800. But the question is whether they also manage the competition among the really cheap models? They actually did not have a model in the same price range as the …
Several of Urbanista’s headphones have performed very well in our tests. Three years ago we were very excited about the budget headphones Seattle Wireless, and when it comes to cheap noise-canceling headphones, we thought New York was the most affordable. The question is whether Urbanista can repeat the feat with Detroit, the cheapest model in …
Not everyone wants to wear earplugs when listening to music on the train or on the walk. Some people simply find it inconvenient to have something that goes into the ear canal. Others think that the significantly larger elements give a much better sound for the money. But you still want the headphones to fit …

Norwegian Kygo has repeatedly shown that there is not necessarily anything negative when a DJ puts his name on headphones. Whether for completely wireless plugs such as the E7 / 900, noise-canceling headphones such as the A11 / 800 or street headphones such as the A6 / 500. The latter were excellent, but not entirely …
Jays are skilled at developing just the right headphones for different needs and price ranges. Like the reference plugs Q-Jays, or the mid-range u-Jays Wireless. Jays x-Five Wireless is in a lower price range, as are the all-new a-Seven Wireless. However, these are a more compact street headphone that can be folded completely so that …
As of now, we are at the height of the corona crisis, and a record number are forced to work from home. Many people have not tested it for more than a short time, and then it is actually good to get away with the laptop to write an email or similar. When you suddenly …
The small headphone manufacturer Sound by Sweden, a subsidiary of Supra Cables, has succeeded surprisingly well in our tests. Both when it comes to wireless plugs like Nitro-X2 or completely wireless plugs like Nero-TX. Now they not only start with headphones, but strike with noise reduction at once. This is one of the few in …
It’s no secret that our and many others’ references in noise reduction headphones are Sony WH-1000XM3. With that in mind, one might suspect that the Sony WH-XB900N is a little brother. You get a bag for storage and not a case. The audio cable is the same, but you do not get an aircraft adapter. …
After a period of absence, Philips Audio is finally back in the game, now supported by TP Vision, which has long been behind Philips TV. Partly with a pair of luxurious Fidelio headphones, partly with these noise-canceling PH805. They offer a proper case for the headphones that keeps them well protected in the bag. Of …
To protect the headphones, a cloth bag is included to prevent any sharp objects from making marks when you have them in your bag. It’s not as good as a hard case, but wait in this price range. There is also an audio cable, which is needed on the plane, but no adapter for the …
The live series are JBL’s youth headphones for an urban lifestyle. JBL Live 650BTNC is the top model which, unlike the others, has noise reduction. With regard to the device, it is acceptable to only have a fabric bag for storage rather than a case. It also comes with a micro-USB charging cable as well …
From time to time, Pioneer strikes with headphones that make us stop. Like the musical Pioneer SE-MS7BT. But this time, they are trying to combine a pair of on-ear street headphones with noise reduction. A not quite simple combination. It should be noted that the Pioneer SE-S6BN is not a travel headphone as it does …
