Klipsch X7i - Earphones

First of all I would like to thank MustardPR for sending me out the Klipsch X7i’s for review.
They can be found on AmazonUK for around £130 (price fluctuates) – the review is based on a £130 price tag.
After having listened to the Klipsch S3M, which had disappointed me, knowing their brothers the S4’s – I was intrigued to see if Klipsch had increased the sound and quality with their latest earphone range.

SteelSeries 9H Headset - Side View

First of all I would like to thank SteelSeries for sending me their headset for review. After having reviewed the Siberia V2 Heat Orange Gaming Headset, I was very much curious to see how the closed-back offering by SteelSeries would compare, both sonically and in terms of its overall performance as a headset. The 9H can be found on AmazonUK & AmazonUSA. The product can be found for anything between £135 and £155. I took the mid-point for this review and reviewed it at a £145 price tag.

For more information about the headset and its specifications can be found on SteelSeries’ website.

SteelSeries Siberia V2 Heat Orange Headset - Design

First of all I would like to thank SteelSeries for sending me their headset for review. I reviewed the headset when they initially got launched at their higher price tag of around £100. Since then they have dropped to around £80, making them very attractive. It can be found on AmazonUK & AmazonUSA.
More information about the headset and its specifications can be found on SteelSeries’ website.

I was a little sceptical at first with the headset, as I was concerned about the overall sound quality the headset would have produced. However, the Heat Orange Gaming Headset really did impress me. Before going into my written review, I had previously made a video review where I gave the headset a full 10/10 rating. Since, I’ve decided to drop it by a rating to 9/10 (more on this through the review).

Here’s my video review:

AKG K545 - Looks

First of all I would like Sam, from AKG’s PR agency, for sending these out to review to me!
The AKG K545’s can be bought on Amazon UK & AmazonUSA, and other resellers worldwide. The review will be conducted at the £230 price tag, even though they can be bought at around £200 from certain places.

I was very lucky in receiving the AKG K545’s after being selected as an AKG Insider before the IFA 2013 event in Berlin. The K545’s allude greatly to the K551’s I had previously reviewed and thus in this review I will be alluding back to the K551 review with comparisons and thoughts to its younger brother.
The AKG K545 is seen as a revision model that arrived, in order to address some issues the K550/K551’s had.

The AKG K545’s also come in four different finishes:
–White
–Black
–Black with Turquoise
–Black with Orange

Before getting into the written review, I should state that I have a video review of these up on YouTube too:

Now let’s get unto the full written review of these headphones!
