Too hot this summer? Your over-ear headphones probably aren’t helping – try these cheap wireless earbuds instead

JLab Go Pop ANC, Nothing Ear (a) and Sony WF-C510.

Like many, I rarely – if ever – take a walk without my headphones. Specifically, I use the Sony WH-1000XM6 over-ear headphones. Look, I love hearing the sound of birds singing in the morning, but where I live, I’m more accustomed to the chilling screech of gulls. Cutting that out is a must, believe me.

But right now, it’s a bit hot, isn’t it? Indeed, a little too hot for me to wear my Sony cans out and about. See, a 20-minute walk in 30-degree heat is essentially a one-way ticket to sweaty ears-ville – and that’s a place I don’t want to be. So, I decided to swap my beloved Sony over-ears for wireless earbuds this summer, and I’m oh-so grateful that I did!
