Good headphones and earbuds are a great way to lose yourself in your favourite album or gripping podcast. But they’re also worth it for drowning out the gossip in a noisy office, negating the drone of sitting on a bus and locking in to your gym workout.
And while it’s possible to drop hundreds of pounds on an all-singing, all-dancing pair of branded cans, there’s a point of diminishing returns that serves as a placeholder for big names over superior audio quality. I posit that you can get a really recent audio product without denting your bank balance, with features like adaptive noise cancelling (ANC) and Bluetooth Multipoint connectivity.
