Top 5 headphones under £100

V-Moda Vibe Duo £70
www.v-moda.com
The Duos feature a built- in microphone for hands-free iPhone use and their premium aluminium construction promises much. Unfortunately their hazy, affected sound suffers shrill treble and a lack of midrange, though they will delight bass-heads.

Denon AH-D1001 £100
www.denon.co.uk
These closed-back over-ears provide supreme comfort and decent sound isolation for commuters. The build quality and styling are just-so and the sound is warm and musical with impressive drive and bite. The only downside is a slight tinge of fizziness to the treble.

Philips SHE9850 £90
www.philips.co.uk
These attractive and beautifully presented sound-isolating earbuds give their best at higher volumes with a full, defined sound. There’s plenty of attack, so music always sounds exciting, while their noise-stifling characteristics are unrivalled at this price.

Sony DR-BT21G £70
www.sony.co.uk
Want to go wireless? These Sonys are light and pretty comfortable, plus they double as a Bluetooth handsfree doohickey. Performance is decent, but dynamics are lacking and there’s a metallic sheen to the sound. You’ll need a Bluetooth adaptor to use them with an iPod.

Sennheiser CX 95 £80
www.sennheiser.co.uk
The CX 95s are well-built and comfortable-feeling sound isolators that shout about nothing and just do everything right. The balance is spot-on – there’s plenty of bass, expressive midrange, and detailed top-end. If you want good iPod in-ears for less than £100, try these.
