An attractive pair of entry-level IEMs, the Philips SHE9800 headphones won't blow away audio enthusiasts, but their sound is relatively well balanced and the wide sound stage is excellent.

Philips' SHE9700 offers a good option for people looking to try their first IEM. While audiophiles won't be impressed, less discerning listeners will appreciate the small comfortable design and good quality audio.

While not dethroning Bose as the kings of active noise cancelling headphones, Philips' SHN9500 offers a good alternative by combining both good quality audio with impressive noise cancelling.

Very good headphones, with an excellent sound driver. Analogue line noise was only slight.

A gaming headset with incredible amounts of bass, a decent microphone and decent sound quality, the TekNmotion Pulsar SX performs admirably.

This is a fairly uninspiring set of headphones. While the price tag is extremely low, the sound quality and build are less than impressive. It's tough to recommend them, even over stock MP3 player headphones.

TDK's EB-300 in-ear headphones aren't anything special but considering the price tag that is to be expected. They are a decent, cost effective alternative to your stock MP3 player earbuds.

While they do have an attractively low price tag, you'd be better off spending a little more and getting a pair of headphones that offer better sound quality.

The EB-500's design is ideal for sporting activities, but these headphones are let down by poor sound quality overall.

TDK's ST-100 headphones won't wow you with their audio quality, however for the price they offer a decent-sounding, portable alternative to your stock MP3 player ear buds.

TDK's EB-400 earphones are some of the cheapest canalphones available, and they're a good upgrade from the standard earbuds of many MP3 players despite a few problems.
