The Jabra Elite 45h come with a variety of features on-ear headphones for a bargain price. They boast Bluetooth 5 connectivity and a smattering of physical push-button controls. They also support aptX Hi-Res audio streams. The default sound profile features heavy bass, but this can easily be changed in the app by using an equalizer graphic.

Focal Bathys Wireless

Focal is a name that's synonymous with premium audio and the Bathys Wireless are no exception. These are over-ear headphones featuring active noise cancellation and high-fidelity sound.

They're powered by a 40mm aluminum-magnesium domed driver in the shape of an 'M' that's made in France. Focal has developed the driver to be portable for use and the result is an incredible headphone. It's a dynamic set of headphones I've tested. They can bring out every detail with a rich and full sound.

Contrary to other ANC cans that sound hollow and plastic The Bathys are well-constructed with a sturdy headband and earcups that are comfortable over your ears. They're also fairly lightweight and come with a USB-C connection to enable wired listening.

The controls on the Bathys are simple and intuitive with a plethora of buttons on the right side of the cup that manage your virtual assistant, Bluetooth pairing, and what music source you're listening. One click on the ANC toggle button cycles through different modes that range from the standard SBC to the more advanced aptX and woostersource.co.uk aptX Adaptive codecs.

If you're plugged in using the USB cable and you connect your device in DAC mode and play at up to 24bit/192kHz. This doesn't require additional hardware or software to activate and the headphones will automatically do the job.

One peculiarity is the LED on each ear cup which glows with white light when the headphones are powered on. It's a nice touch however I'm not sure if it's needed. The lights aren't energy-intensive and don't affect battery life. The Focal &Naim app allows users to turn off the lights and also manage EQ and voice assistance as well as a number of other settings. The app is simple to use and quite light however I did experience some teething problems with the software. You can choose between a variety futuristic-sounding beeps and boops to indicate mode and button presses.

Skullcandy uproar

Skull Candy's brand new Uproar Wireless headphones are making waves in the market for budget headphones. They're a comfortable pair of Bluetooth on-ear headphones with a long-lasting battery and stylish designs for less than PS40.

The headphones are lightweight and extremely comfortable. They're mostly made of plastic which makes them lightweight and flexible, but they are also a bit fragile. I wouldn't recommend dropping them from a height above my head. The ear pads only partially covering your ears, so they won't really block out noise as you might expect.

It is simple to connect your phone to headphones. First, ensure that the headphones are on and the LED indicator is blinking quickly. Then, go to the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone and connect the headphones. Once they're connected, the headphones will automatically connect with your device when it is within range.

One thing that I really enjoy about these headphones is how well they sound. The bass is fantastic and you can hear a lot of the details that are in your music. The highs are clear and crisp. When compared to other headphones I've used, these sound great for their price and are definitely worth the price.

They are also rechargeable, and come with an USB cord. You can charge them on the move. They also come with an audio input that you can use to listen to your music with your smartphone even when headphones aren't attached.

Another good thing about these headphones is that they feature a built-in microphone that allows you to take calls. This is a great feature if you're on the go and don't have a cord. They also come with a battery that can last for approximately 10 hours, which is great.

Audio-Technica ATH-M60x

The ATH-60x, the newest addition to Audio-Technica’s popular M series is a closed, on-ear headphone that's perfect for mobile, studio and broadcasting. The M60xs use the same 45mm large aperture drivers as the popular M50xs, which deliver excellent sound quality. They work across a wide range of frequencies, with crystal clear clarity and a full response in the bass.

The M60x frame is made from both metal and plastic and has a durable finish. The low-profile design feels very comfortable, with the earpads and headband crafted from protein leather which is less likely to cause sweating. The headband is a bit narrower than the other M headphones, which helps make them feel lighter and more comfortable on your head, while making them more comfortable to wear with glasses.

Its removable cables are supplied in long, short and coiled variants and also an easy pouch to store them when not in use. The cable connection is secured by a bayonet-lock mechanism. This is a nice feature that keeps the headphones securely connected to any device. The M60xs work with most devices because of their low impedance.

Comparing the M60xs to headphones that are over-ear such as the Bowers & Wilkins P5 Series 2 they offer more of a balanced sound that doesn't focus on any particular frequency. The M60xs are also a smaller amount of money than Bowers & Wilkins, which makes them an ideal choice for those on a tight budget.

While the M60xs may stray from the classic M-series style in certain ways, they look stunning. The sleek black frame is complemented with an elegant logo on the band. The M60xs aren't the smallest on-ears, as they aren't foldable and are quite heavy to transport but they're a good option for professional use. Their noise isolation performance isn't the best but they allow the rumble of plane and bus engines. However, this is hidden by loud music and Dj they're quite effective at cutting out location sounds for podcasts and videos.
