Take a look at our best headphones list, and you'll see there are some budget options included: you don't necessarily have to pay excessive amounts of money for good quality audio, whether you're buying the best wireless earbuds or a pair of the best over-ear noise-cancelling cans to wrap around your head.
However, sometimes paying more is very much worth it – especially at back-to-school time, because you're going to want headphones that enable your audio to really pop, whether you're revising to lo-fi tunes or travelling to lectures with your favourite tracks. It's the same if you're upgrading for a return to work, too, that commute can benefit from the perfect headphones.
