Earphones

I had given up with cheap earphones from Amazon, it is not so much that they are bad, they are normally pretty good for the price, but quite often the bass isn’t quite there, or at high volumes, there can be some harshness. I mainly use this type of earphone in the gym, so I …

It has been a long time since I reviewed any wired earphones, with the trend leaning towards Bluetooth. However, a lot of people still love wired earphones, they technically offer superior audio performance, require no charging, there are less things to go wrong, and they are cheaper than their wireless counterparts. But what if you …

I have been quite impressed with several of the Brainwavz headphones in the past, and the BLU-300 are the first Bluetooth headphones and the first sports orientated pair I have reviewed from them.

The Linner NC50 wireless earphones tick a lot of boxes for my needs, they are Bluetooth, sweatproof using a rubber construction and have active noise cancellation all for a bargain price of £59.99.

Having recently got the Huawei Mate 10 Pro which does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack, using Bluetooth headphones has become a necessity. The problem with a lot of good Bluetooth headphones is that they cost a lot of money, or at least more than the wired equivalent. The Aukey EP-B40 headphones offer an affordable …

Most people are talking about the latest and greatest phones that have been launched at MWC that are running the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 including the Sony Xperia XZ2. However, one of the stand out products for me is the  Sony Xperia Ear Duo which is an entirely wire-free pair of headphones that buck the trend …

I personally use headphones for a couple of hours a day, primarily at the gym. The problem here is that I sweat a lot, and I am just generally a bit clumsy. Wired headphones always snag and break. Any headphone with electronics like controls always dies eventually. Wireless ones inevitably get lost or put through …

Dodocool is another budget brand that sells peripherals on Amazon. The first of the two products they sent is a pair of Bluetooth wireless headphones. Each earpiece is quite large, but they include a large bendable ear loop that goes over your ears. This creates a very secure fit in my case, they create a …

With the growing number of phones ditching the 3.5mm port finding a good pair of Bluetooth earphones has become essential for anyone that appreciates good quality audio.
