Klipsch Image X5 - headphones

When it comes to portable devices, audio quality depends just as much on the headphones as it does on the audio specs of the player. So it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that many people spend more on their headphones than they do on their MP3 players. In...

Sennheiser HD 800

Model changes at the upper end of Sennheiser's headphone line don't happen very often. The previous flagship--the still available HD 650s--were introduced in 2003, and remain in the line. Their predecessor, the HD 600s, came out more than a decade ago, and are still popular with audiophiles. I've reviewed both,...

Plantronics Discovery 975

The Plantronics Voyager Pro earned our Editor's Choice award earlier this year for having the best sound quality of any Bluetooth headset we've tried. However, the Voyager Pro was marred by its slightly bulky and unfashionable appearance. The new Plantronics Discovery 975, on the other hand, is a much more...

Motorola Rokr S7-HD

Motorola is no stranger to stereo Bluetooth headsets, like the Motorola S9 Bluetooth Active Headphones from a couple years ago. While those headphones are more for active sports, the more recent Motorola Rokr S7-HD is definitely geared more toward audiophiles with its high-definition surround sound.
