Don't go deaf

The crappy headphones you get with every iPod and most other MP3 players do the music and you no favours. There's a lot of detail you're missing in the music thanks to shoddy components and external noise leaking in. And when you turn up the sound to hear more, you end up going slowly deaf. Take it from someone who's been there, done that.

But you don't have to spend hundreds on high-end 'phones thanks to Sennheiser's release of its new CX300. Read the full review of the Sennheiser CX300 in today's paper.

In games, The Ship (PC) loosely mixes Cluedo, The Sims and even Half-Life 2 to hilarious effect. It'll be in the shops shortly but it's also downloadable online through Steam. Tekken: Dark Resurrection brings a perfectly pint-sized version of the legendary beat-em-up to the PSP. Finally, Ninety-Nine Nights is a glossy clone of Dynasty Warriors but we expect far more from the Xbox 360.
