ONESONIC MXS-HD1

£109.99 Compact is the word for these earbuds. From the slim case to the slender buds, the ONESONICs are super portable and light. They connect to your phone without fuss and, like the Bose, claim a playing time of up to 5hrs, with a further 20hrs of portable charging available from the case. Audio quality is decent, but not with quite the same depth and range as the RHA, JLabs and Bose. They’re also only splash resistant, so we wouldn’t reach for these in a heavy downpour. In terms of safety, they’re noise cancelling with ‘environmental noise suppression’, which can be hazardous as you can’t hear approaching cars when outside. Though there’s an ‘ambient sound mode’, we find this doesn’t make much difference. These buds come with three silicon tip sizes to choose from, which we find fit securely in our ears. With just a double or single tap, play/pause and volume can be controlled on the go. onesonic.co.uk
