Bone conduction earphones have been out for several years now, and they work by allowing you to hear sound through the vibration of the cheekbones of your face. This means that the sound waves are bypassing the outer and middle ear (where the eardrum is located) and directly stimulating the inner ear. It was traditionally…
I have reviewed a LOT of Thermaltake cases recently, so it is nice to get something a little different to try out with the new TteSports Shock Pro 7.1 RGB Gaming Headset. Tt eSPORTS is a relatively new subdivision of Thermaltake focussing on peripherals and accessories for competitive gamers. The Tt eSports Shock Pro 7.1…
I have been quite impressed with several of the Brainwavz headphones in the past, and the BLU-300 are the first Bluetooth headphones and the first sports orientated pair I have reviewed from them. At just £19.50 these are well into the budget range of headphones category making them cheaper than all the recent models I…
For a lot of people, headphones are an essential part of everyday life. Many people listen to music on portable devices while out in public. For a musician, this is the case more than anyone else. They do after all create the music that we listen to. This article is about the benefits of using…
As a fitness fanatic that is also cursed with sweating a lot, I am constantly on the lookout for some decent headphones for both the gym and running. For a long time, I loved the Bose SoundSport but they cost £115 so it is hard to justify this expense when I will inevitably lose them(which…
I am generally indifferent towards this new true wireless earbud trend; I find the convenience of no wires is weighed down by poor performance and loose-fitting earbuds. Something you don’t want when there is no wire. However, I have come away pleasantly surprised by the very affordable Blitzwolf BW-FYE1 earbuds. At just £34.99 on Amazon…
Kuaifit is a brand I have not heard of before, and they appear to be a relatively new company targeting the sports headphone market. In order to differentiate themselves from all the other affordable sports brands on Amazon, they combine their earphones with an app that provides your training plans and fitness coaching for a…
Last week 1MORE announced their first set of triple driver Bluetooth headphones. The hardware inside the earpieces is fundamentally the same as you will find in the universally praised E1001 wired headphones though with some minor sound tweaks following user feedback. Rather than focus on aesthetics or sports compatibility, 1MORE have designed these with one…
I reviewed the 1MORE E1001 last year and to this day they are still my favourite wired in-ear headphones I have used, if you get a good seal with your ears the sound is exceptional, with a deep but well balanced based and overall just a very pleasant sound profile. I still use them semi-frequently but thanks…
A few weeks ago, I reviewed the Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2 headphones with active noise cancelling; they were an excellent cheaper alternative option to the Bose wireless headphones which cost around £100 more. However, at £229 they are still going to be a significant investment for many people. The Groov-e Elite is a possible budget…
August is a brand that I was not aware of until recently, but their EP650 Bluetooth headphones with 2500+ Amazon reviews with a rating of 4.4 and a price of £24.95 makes them an appealing prospect.

As a fitness fanatic that is cursed with heavy sweating, I am on the constant lookout for the perfect sports headphones. In the past year or so we have seen the trend of earphones move towards entirely wire-free, and while I appreciate there appeal, for fitness, especially running and cycling, they are not ideal. In…
