$624.99 (currently $499.99)

 

NHT are renowned for their ‘high end, not high price’ speaker systems, so we were delighted to receive their C-3 bookshelf speaker in their limited edition, carbon fibre finish. The standard gloss black looks sleek but this has the visual impact that matches the layered sound it delivers, and suits the aesthetics of my place far better than anything shiny. In fact, show me something that doesn’t look better in carbon fibre.

RHA TrueConnect Wireless Earbuds

In a market that is becoming increasingly competitive, I was pleasantly surprised by the TrueConnect Wireless Earbuds by RHA. For those who, like me, are afraid of investing in earbuds for fear of misplacing one (or both!) of them, the TrueConnect earbuds come in a handy case that will fit in your pocket and keep your earbuds safe and protected. Sleekly designed, and with an aluminium covering, the case also acts as a charger, and boasts an outstanding 20-hour battery life.

KS Immerse Wireless Headphones  

If you’re on the lookout for a good quality pair of wireless headphones without breaking the bank, then the KS Immerse Headphones might be just the thing you’re searching for. True to their name, the Immerse strive to provide a totally absorptive experience for the listener, with Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology that counteracts the background din with opposing soundwaves; a notable achievement indeed, considering that most ANC headphones are considerably more expensive.  

 

Anker Soundcore Life P2 Total Wireless Earphones

 

It shows the evolution of audio technology when the box your earphones come in is also the charger. This was what first struck me about the Life P2 Total Wireless Earphones from Soundcore (Anker); that and the smart look to the whole package.

Easy to set up, easy to use and easy to store, these earphones are very comfortable; so comfortable in fact that it is easy to forget you are actually wearing them.

Sharpe GXBT180 Speaker

The GXBT180 is the baby brother to the BT280 but as is so often with the younger sibling, it is better looking, more fun and fits easier into a rucksack, measuring up at 86 x 86 x 110mm it is super compact and only weighs 340g, you can even put it in your pocket (jacket, not jeans). It comes in three colours, Red, Black and Blue just like its older sibling as well as that same, handy attachment loop for fixing it to your bag, bike, tent, whatever you like.
