There's little more irritating than dodgy controls on a pair of headphones (apart from maybe a wasp at a picnic). When you go to pause your tunes and accidentally touch a panel slightly wrong, and end up changing the sound mode. Skipping a track when you wanted to activate transparency. Annoying.
Some of the best headphones make sure it's not a massive pain to control your music and podcast playback without reaching back into your pocket to retrieve your phone. I've tested loads of headphones this year, and found some great options that feature reliable controls.
