A review of M-Audio’s M50 studio headphones - Good Sound - Good Value
Every recording musician needs headphones, and there’s no shortage of choices. It’s not hard to find a good pair if you’re spending $200 and above, but especially in the sub-$100 range, it’s more of a crapshoot. M-Audio recently released two models in that range, and we’ll focus our review on the more expensive of the two, the over-the-ear (circum…

Focal Spirit Professional Review - The Professional Spirit
A little over a year ago, the French brand Focal, well-known for its range of speakers, introduced its first pair of headphones: Spirit One.

AKG K 702 Review - The AKG Case
Let's end this week with another famous name: AKG and their reference-class K 702. Our opinion about its little brother, the K 271, was pretty balanced: it has a very detailed high-end but a too weak low-frequency range. What about the K 702?

Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC3: The Test - Double Isolation?
For travelers who want to listen to their favorite music without bothering others or being bothered, using an ordinary pair of headphones doesn’t always give you total isolation. So then came along in-ear headphones (that go directly into the ear canal and therefore isolate the listener). Then, after that, noise-canceling headphones, featuring ele…
