Whilst I can’t see Krycek from X-Files, James Bond or other famous double agents donning these Skullcandy headphones, I could see Sydney Bristow from Alias wearing them on a day off.

With three colour ways (orange, green and black), any espionage hopeful can carry out their acts of secrecy with the Double Agent models, which contain an inbuilt SD card reader. You guessed right – that means you don’t have to connect…

Dr. Dre lends his hand at designing 'Beats' headphones with Monster

The company best known for its high-quality HDMI cables has dallied with headphones once again, after we saw the iFreePlay ‘phones mid-last year that docked your iPod Shuffle when on the go.

Using dynamic transducers, they cover the entire frequency range with one system, and separate different parts of whatever music you’re listen to, thus eliminating distortion. All three have Kevlar-strenghened cables, and a choice of earbuds to ensure a snug fit…
