Scientific reviews of the latest cameras from every major brand

We finally got in the Sennheiser HD 800s. So what's our verdict? They're amazing. Really. They're one of the best pairs of headphones we've reviewed. d The one sticking point, however, is their $1400 price tag. Check out our test results and graphs and whatnot; hopefully they'll help you decide if an investment in the HD 800s is an investment in your aural future.

The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100.

With eight different sets of sleeves and optional ear-loops, it's not hard to see that Sennheiser really tries to make the listening experience a comfortable one.

The Etymotic Research mc5 headphones are an entry level set of in-ears. At $80, the mc5s offer a disproportionately high audio quality for their price. If you’re looking for a decent set of in-ears without spending over $100, the mc5s are a great choice.

The Monster Beats Pros are a set of higher-end closed-backed over-ear headphones with a very rugged build and high amount of flair, but with an unreasonably high bass response.

The Sennheiser PXC 250-IIs are the sequel to Sennheiser's popular PXC 250s, and not much has changed. The headphones fold up a bit better than their predecessors, but otherwise remain the same, solid set of active-noice-cancelling cans.

The Sennheiser MM80is have decent audio quality, and aren't a bad pickup if you're willing to spend for them.

As far as entry-level in-ear headphones go, the $79.99 pricetag is about par for the course, but you do get good value for it. That being said, fans for more analytical headphones with flat bass response and a less dynamic response will probably recoil in horror at the heavily-emphasized low frequencies

With a great frequency response, extremely comfortable wear and open soundstage, these are a good entry to mid-level pickup for those who are fans of an analytical sound.

The Audio Technica ATH-AD900s are decent performers, and they are certainly comfortable. While they offer superior comfort and good audio quality, be aware that these are cans that stay by the computer.

Sennheiser CXC 700s are fairly good active cancelers, but with worrying durability concerns.
