Teufel Aureol Groove

Teufel Aureol Groove review

Chances are you've come to this review because you're looking for some new earphones to replace those awful, white, tinny ones you got with your iPod. Are we right? Or are we right?It really is a mystery why Apple still insists on shipping those awful plastic earbuds with its otherwise super-high end products, but there you go.While the truly high-end earphones out there can cost close to £400, you'll be pleased to hear that you can pick up some very accomplished ones for well under a hundred quid. Indeed, you only need to spend around a fiver to pick up a pair of earphones that far outclass those bundled iPod ones.So the question is – who do you give your money to?Teufel is a German brand which is fairly new to the UK, and its products are only available online from the Teufel website.The Teuful Aureol Grooves can be picked up from said website for £59, which given the unrivalled awfulness of Apple's bundled earbuds, has become a hugely competitive area of the earphone market.The trick is to build a great sounding product, that doesn't cost the earth and can be priced aggressively enough to get you a slice of the pie, while still making a decent profit. It's much harder than it sounds.
