Vox VGH AC30

The Vox VGH AC30 are headphones with an integrated guitar amplifier. Yes, there is such a thing! Just put on the headphones, plug the connecting cable directly into the guitar, and you're done! Rock out, no matter where and no matter when - what guitarist wouldn't want that?

Klipsch T5 II True Wireless

The Klipsch T5 II True Wireless are a new addition to the Klipsch T5 headphone range, included in Klipsch's "True" series. Improved in many key ways from their predecessor, the T5 II continue Klipsch's promise of four ultimate truths: "True Comfort", "True Performance", "True Independence" and "True You", with "Independence" standing for long battery life and "You" for a universal sound that pleases everyone.

Mackie MP-460

Mackie has added three more headphones to their MP series: The MP-460 I am testing here is their new top model in this series.

Mackie MP-360

About two years ago Mackie released their MP series: All three pairs of headphones – the MP-120 , the MP-220 and the MP-240 – were aimed at musicians and sound engineers who are looking for monitor headphones for the stage and the FoH/monitor mixing desk. Now Mackie has added three more pairs of headphones to the MP series: the MP-360, which I'm testing here, ranks in the middle of the hierarchy of the three MP newcomers.

Mackie MP-320

I remember when I had the pleasure of testing Mackie's first three in-ear headphones about two years ago: The MP-120 , the MP-220 and the MP-240 were aimed at musicians and sound engineers who were looking for monitor headphones for use on stage, with FoH/monitor mixing desks or in the recording studio. Now Mackie has added three more technically advanced headphones to the MP-series: The MP-320 that I am testing here is higher in the price hierarchy than the MP-240 and the most affordable of the three new ones.

Klipsch T5 Neckband

The T5 Neckband is a headphone from Klipsch's "True" series, it comes with promises of "True Comfort", "True Performance", "True Freedom" and "True You", where "Freedom" stands for a long battery life and "You" for a sound that suits everyone.

Miiego Boom

The Danish manufacturer Miiego designs its headphones especially for the athlete, and so I was somewhat surprised by the Miiego Boom: I find the idea of an everyday over-ear sports headphone difficult to imagine, but with the Boom, Miiego is saying: "This is possible!”. We took a closer look at these "2-in-1" headphones which are designed for both "sports AND relaxation"!

Miiego Boom ANC

The Miiego Boom ANC is an ear-cup wireless headphone with active external noise cancellation. So far, so good, but the Boom ANC also wants to be athletic! An over-ear headphone for an everyday workout is something I find difficult to imagine, but the Danish company Miiego said: "It works!" So, we took a closer look at the "4-in-1" headphones for "sport, relaxation, travel and the office".
