Grado's RS1e is a graceful and svelte looking piece of kit, and sounds it too. It's not bass light though, with a good balance between the various frequencies.

If you want wireless but not tasteless, then the Master & Dynamic MW60 is a contender. Its build and styling belongs to another era, but it has 21st century technology under the hood and will please those who want classic good looks and no gimmicks.

If you are looking for a general use headphone with good isolation, look no further. Any and every music type sounds excellent with plenty of space and the feeling that these headphones are enjoying themselves just as much as the listener is!

For some years now the fine E10 from SoundMAGIC has assaulted our shores and needs no introduction; it has remained a firm favourite everywhere and shows no signs of losing that favour despite being in its 6th year since its release.

The London Marathon is back, and promises to torture participants with its gruelling tour of the Big Smoke.

The Sennheiser PXC550 is excellent at noise cancellation; watch out Bose! Also the build quality is what we'd expect of a premium Sennheiser product; it's light but solid.

The Koss Porta Pros are still very popular after more than 30 years, even amongst people who own other headphones costing an arm and a leg.

The GS2000e has a slightly understated sound when compared to the GS1000e; the emphasis on bass and treble is reduced, which makes the midrange more of a centrepiece. Harmonics and therefore imaging will be a little stronger on the GS2000e, thanks to the relatively present midrange.

A very able earphone for the asking price; the RHA S500 is not typical of models in this price range with its present midrange so will be a good option for those who prefer acoustic or vocal recordings.

For the asking price, the Trinity Audio Vyrus is very good value; the inclusion of the filters makes these earphones perfect for those who want to experiment and find out what different tunings can do for their music.

The P9 Signature is the new luxurious headphone from Bowers and Wilkins, offering hifi sound, iPhone compatibility and superb build quality.

Final might describe the F7200 as the worlds smallest earphone, but it certainly makes a big impression. The clean and utilitarian design of this model hides a lot of soul, and despite Final's impressive line-up so far, we are still surprised by the build (and sound) quality of the F7200.

Etymotic ER4XR is the earphone for music lovers and hi-fi enthusiasts who want uncompromising accuracy, built with precision machined, anodized and laser-etched aluminium body and offers user-replaceable detachable cables.

..be careful where you use the Meze 99 Classics because you'll be dancing before you know what's happening!

What genre is the Sirius not good for? We haven't heard anything which the Sirius cannot do justice to.
