    Can you hear me, mother?

    Well, to be honest, I don't give a monkeys, cos I've got my ears filled anyways...

    First up are the E2G earphones from Shure, the giys who mkae the rather sexy and very expensive 'in the ear' headphones that stage performers like Robbie Williams wears...



    These little babies are designed to fit your ears so snugly that very little outside noise can get in... They even come with varying sized plug to fit your ears just right.




    Next up is the s-500 Professional Gaming Headset from Everglide...



    These try and stop outside noise by having a snug fit around you ear. Notice the ear shaped foam cups...


    And finally, the Zalman Theater 6M headset... this beast of a headset boasts full 5.1 support with no-less than 6 speakers crammed into them, but they're surprisingly light.





    Right then, time to jack in and deafen myself... see you all at the signing class!

    What about the Speedlink Medusa? Hardly top-draw audio fidelity but good gaming cans.

    How was that supposed to be a comical remark!?

    Bose make really good headphones, and i was surprised that there weren't any from them (or sennheiser for that matter)..and i wouldn't have thought that £300 price is much of an object, given some of the stuff that Hexus gets hold of

    Mebbe so, but price DOES play a part in our reviews... Check out my final thoughts in the just published Shure E2g earphone review on HEXUS.gaming.

    Yeah, i need a replacement for my lousy stock Sony's (they break within 6 months) and these look quite good, about how much i'm prepared to pay too. Nice review btw.

    Ta. I reckon they're worth it if you travel a fair bit and use a mobile device a lot. They sure beat the quality of both my Sony and Apple earphones. For the casual gamer though, I think the price is a bit high and they won't get the use out of them to make them worthwhile.

    Hmm.. the amazon price isn't too bad (marketplace), only about 60 quid at most (but they're the non-gaming edition, if there's any difference.)

    amazon
