I have a pair of Stax headphones labelled “New” SR3 which originally (when I bought them in 1975) came with an SRD-5 energiser. The SRD-5 (which is mains powered) was changed for an […]

STUART MILES: What’s happened? Bang & Olufsen has given its latest pair of buds a stem and entirely new shape, perhaps taking inspiration from a certain Cupertino tech giant in the process. Our quick verdict The Beoplay EX take Bang & Olufsen’s earbuds in a new direction, with the stem and better levels of comfort. We’re […]
STUART MILES: What’s happened? Final is usually associated with extravagant (and painfully expensive) headphones that have their own dedicated listening room and wires that have to be handled with satin gloves, but the UX3000 is a headset you would happily rock on your morning commute. Our quick verdict The Final UX3000 headphones offer sound quality that’s largely unmatched […]

It focuses almost exclusively on open-back headphones and is thought by many to produce some of the finest examples in the world. In 2018, it introduced its first Bluetooth model, the Grado GW100. The heritage was plain to see, […]
CHRIS HALL: What’s happened? The market for gaming headsets is getting so crowded and competitive that any marginal gain is being fought over by audio businesses tooth and nail.
