Even in the early 1970s, clunky headphones were enthroned on his head. The first stereophonic experiences required tough measures. He now celebrates the achievements of technology and enjoys the technical evolution of audio devices. In addition to in-ears and over-ears, it is always the wired hi-fi and studio headphones in an open design that inspire the main contributor to this site.

Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2
Compared to version 1, the new Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 dispense with some ground-breaking new features. Is it worth your while to upgrade?
Bowers & Wilkins Px8
With the Px8, Bowers & Wilkins is demonstrating a premium model that, with a retail price of €699, is uncompromising on quality.
Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2
The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 primarily impressed us with their very good sound. But this newcomer also performs well in terms of noise cancelling, appearance and wearing comfort. Android users will have a clear advantage over iOS users with the Px7 S2.
Bose QuietComfort 45
With their QuietComfort 45, Bose are committed to a consistent product: these new over-ears come with active noise cancelling (ANC, noise suppression), long battery life and great sound. Compared to the competition, however, they lack some important features. Will it be enough?
Bowers & Wilkins PI5
After we tested the PI7 some time ago and found them to be pretty good, we were naturally curious to see how the PI5s from Bowers & Wilkins, which have been stripped of a few features, would perform. It was already clear after the first time we tried them that there was no need to worry about the sound quality from the smaller model: the British naturally set the bar high in terms of sound quality.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7
Bowers & Wilkins like to take their time in the innovation race and do not always try to jump on the technology-driven bandwagon immediately. Better late and done properly was what I thought when B&W announced the first True Wireless in-ears in their range with the PI5 and PI7.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX
Bang & Olufsen launches the HX, a successor to the H9 that is supposed to offer more in all respects - except weight. At 285 grams, it occupies a top spot in the lightweight ear-cup league, which makes them exceedingly pleasant to wear right from the first fitting.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95
The Danish high-end manufacturer Bang & Olufsen celebrate their 95th birthday with the special model H95, which - as of 2020 - seeks to combine all their experience and technical know-how in a pair of stylish ANC headphones.
Philips Fidelio X3
With the Fidelio X3 Philips are targeting an audience who are more concerned with High Fidelity than with True Wireless or Noise Cancelling. The sheer listening pleasure of these sophisticated headphones is in the relaxed, peaceful atmosphere they create.
