Switch off the breaking news and turn on something a little more relaxing: your favourite songs, radio and podcasts, beautifully rendered through a super-stylish sound gadget.
Sony WH-H910N
Sony’s new h.ear headphones, available in five colour combos, are a world away from standard-issue black cans. But they’re not just a pretty face: they cancel out ambient sound for a better listening experience. Holding your hand over the earcup instantly reduces the volume so you can hear your surroundings, too.
