Headphones

Blocking yourself from the outside world shouldn't necessarily come at a premium cost, and that's what the Skullcandy Venue offers, with noise cancellation and minimal looks for under $300.

Even though IFA is over, there's still yet more trickling out, such as in the world of noise cancellation where Sennheiser is updating headphone options.

It's not just Sony that will give noise cancelling a good run, as Huawei takes on the category with something, too.

If you wish headphones had a little more colour and pop to their design, Sony is making it happen this year. Just don't expect it in a flagship.

Apple's AirPods aren't the only pair of wireless and cordless earphones getting an update this year. Jabra is back with improvements to its excellent Elite range.

No stranger to audio, Sennheiser's first take on an AirPod competitor comes in the form of the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless, an earphone that says it all in the name. Kinda.

If you're stuck between "cheap and cheerful" and spending up, JBL's take on the truly wireless earphones could be worth considering.

The best noise cancelling headphones are about to get challenged, and from a Samsung-owned brand, as AKG offers up noise quelling cans to go.

It's been a couple of years in between updates, but the next generation of Bose noise cancelling headphones are almost here.

Thanks to the removal of the cord, earphones are getting smaller and lighter, and Jaybird's latest may be some of the lightest yet.
