Ever since we first started seeing gaming headphones with Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X, I have felt the need for a pair of proper headphones for home theater use. With a real feeling of proper surround sound. Imagine. There you sit alone late at night, and all you want is to crank up the sound …
Philips may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of premium earplugs, but they have made some really good products. The passive earbuds Fidelio S2 we named Budget plugs of the year in 2013, and the latest premium headphones Fidelio X3 are also very good, with a warm and inviting …
With the fully wireless Live Pro+ earbuds, JBL aims high with active noise reduction, and focuses on sound quality with powerful 11 mm drivers and long battery life. Most earplugs have 6 to 10 mm drivers, so these are rather big for earplugs. JBL Live Pro+ can look like a clone of Apple’s Airpods, with …
Finding a pair of good, wireless headphones with noise calcellation below GBP 130 has proven to be nearly impossible. Apart from the Sony WH-XB900N which has fallen so much in price. But now Urbanista has released a pair of wireless with noise reduction, which does not have a long list of meaningless numbers and letters …
You can wonder what they have been doing. While every conceivable manufacturer from any conceivable branch has long since launched at least one, preferably several completely wireless earplugs, Marshall has only had earplugs with a cord. Which in itself is not that stupid. If they fall out, they do not fall far, and with a …
Two years ago came Galaxy Buds, the first completely wireless earbuds from Samsung, which we thought sounded good. They were followed up last year by the somewhat disappointing Galaxy Buds Live. Fortunately, it turned out that they were just a parenthesis, and that the real successors to Buds are, of course, called the Samsung Galaxy …
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 …
Chinese FiiO is known for its little gadgets that make life a little more fun for headphone users. The newest product I have become acquainted with from there is BTR3. This is a small amplifier / DAC, which connects wirelessly to the mobile with Bluetooth, and thus allows you to enjoy a more liberated music …
I have an ambivalent relationship with audio products made for training. On the one hand, it is very nice with gadgets that can withstand a noise, and which do not break due to a little sweat. On the other hand, it is annoying that someone has meant on my behalf as an exerciser (to the …
Sol Republic is a slightly forgotten brand in Scandinavia, which is a pity. For this price range, they are a set of really nice headphones for a youthful target market. Considering the target market, the black model looks slightly subdued, but the blue is considerably more flashy. They feel a bit like plastic, but are …
When the first Beats model Studio saw the light of day in 2008, the headset market exploded, never to look back. Suddenly they saw the youth with heavy bells on their heads, rather than the pitiful earplugs that came with the music players. The fact that hi-fi enthusiasts frown their nose on Beats is completely …
It’s been two years since Bowers & Wilkins’ first attempt at a noise-canceling headphone called the PX. It gave a real sense of luxury that even B&O had to envy them, and with a round and pleasant sound. But one had made a couple of strange choices, for example in that one cannot choose the …
These are also available in a wired version, but in this case, it is the wireless that is applicable. As the name suggests, they have a reflex strip on the wire so you are visible when running in the dark. They feel practical more than luxurious, but the quality of the make seems good. Moreover, …
With QuietComfort 35 , Bose surpassed its own QuietComfort 25, which was the market’s most popular noise-cancelling headphone until the wireless version came out. Bose QuietComfort 35 II has now arrived. From now on with almost perfect fit, and just as collapsible as before. Variable noise cancellation What distinguishes the new version from the first …
