  • One day, hopefully far into the future, you’ll have your TV turned up to 11 just to hear the weather forecast, modern music will seem like just a lot of noise, and mashed up bananas will be your favourite pre-nap snack. Until then, treat your ears w...
  • Whenever marketing spiel mentions an historic inventor, you know you’re looking at a price-tag fit to induce a touch of something equally old-fashioned: the ague, falling sickness or possibly even consumption. Sennheiser wheels out Thomas Edison who...
  • Sennheiser does it again, upping the sound and build quality from its legendary HD 650 cans to deliver a majestic sonic experience that has to be heard to be believed. However, you’ll need a great system to extract the full £1000 of value from...
