BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES

AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH-M50XBT

$289, audio-technica.com

AKG Y45BT

Long battery life and sound that’s closer to the more neutral tones of hi-fi cans (though still with a slight extra kick of bass), plus great comfort levels, make these ideal for losing yourself in music.

If you want an on-ear alternative to the Marshalls, these ’phones from

AKG remain a great option. The sound is punchy and the styling is pretty cool without trying too hard.

OPTOMA NUFORCE BE SPORT 4

$105, optoma.com

Designed for the gym, you might think these wouldn’t sound very good. But you would be incorrect.

They’re very musical with well-weighted bass and excellent noise isolation.

SOUNDMAGIC E11BT

$125, soundmagicheadphones.com

These are as good as buds that cost twice as much. Audio is brilliant, connectivity is rock solid, the necklace-style band stays stable, and the fit is comfortable and secure enough for exercise.
