The LCD-2 Classic are a well controlled, but ultimately warm sounding headphones. They offer up a fatigue free sound with good width and height.

The Nio are a superb everyday IEM, they have tons of detail all presented in a coherent and enjoyable sound signature.

The Dorado 2020 are meant to be fun, in your face, energetic and a little brash, which can be a lot of fun.

Big bass followed by smooth mids and treble all come together to create a coherent, full and warm sound signature.

A true all rounder in every sense, and brilliant value for money.

Etymotic focussed on the sound, and you can hear that, the Etymotion is a really good Bluetooth cable when it comes to sound quality.

The Cleer Next are soft yet detailed with controlled bass and an honest midrange, the treble does lack some bite though Fit and Comfort The Next are a very well made headphone with a mainly aluminium and leather finish, the arms have good adjustment to fit various head sizes and the earcups are deep enough for most ears. The fit is firm and secure but they don't clamp overly hard. Comfort wise I feel the headband could be a little more padded, but the earpads are spacious and soft. They are also a little on the...

The Final E500 are the perfect partner for portable use and gaming, for a low price you get exceptionally smooth and refined sound quality backed up by a comfortable fit.

There are not a lot of good solutions for making wired IEM's wireless, at least not with good quality anyway. The MW200 is excellent when it comes to the sound and functionality, it is also comfortable.

If you do want a DAC/Amp that will power your collection and let you enjoy the music, the 3XR does a stellar job and is well worth an audition.

The LCD-1 lean towards a more balanced sound signature, with a dash of added colour for an enjoyable and easy listening experience. Fit and Comfort The LCD-1 are a small, portable sized headphone with a mainly plastic build to help keep the weight down. The earpads do go around your ears and are quite snug, the clamping force is moderate to retain a secure fit. There is plenty of adjustment in the headband sliders to fit most head shapes and sizes. They fit well and have an understated look compared to higher end Audeze models. Comfort...

The Atom DAC has come along and completes the Atom stack, a small, neat system that will power most headphones on the market.

The ER2XR give you that signature Etymotic controlled and detailed sound backed up with a helping of extra bass to keep things fun and enjoyable. Fit and Comfort People don't tend to buy Etymotic for comfort, they get them for their isolation and sound quality. The best sound, in my opinion, comes from using the triple-flange tips. These take some getting used to, due to their deep insertion fit, but once you get used to them I don't find them to cause any discomfort over long listening sessions. Their deep insertion also means they fit narrow...

Refreshed for 2020 the classic Campfire Audio Solaris have been reshaped to be 20% smaller along with a new Solid-Body internal acoustic chamber. Don't worry though, that famously energetic sound is here to stay.

The LCD-4 may not be cheap, but they offer up a neutral and clean sound that is effortless in every single way. Just make sure to get them a good source.
