August EP 650S

4 We would normally tell you to stay well away from a pair of wireless headphones that were just £40, but this lightweight and foldable set from August sounds rather good. The sound is a bit neutral and is lacking any notable bass, but it’s clear and consistent across various genres of music. There’s no getting away from the low-quality plastic feel of the cans, and the clicky buttons, but the faux leather is comfortable, and of all the Bluetooth-pairable headphones we’ve tried recently with an iPhone, these are one of the fastest to pair.

Looking for a starter pair of wireless cans, or a spare pair for travel? Then these are well worth a punt at £40 a pop.
