SONY WF-1000XM4

If you’re willing to spend a bit more money and are keen on noise-cancelling, Bose’s QC Earbuds are the way to go, while Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless win when it comes to battery life; but as all-rounders go, you can’t beat Sony’s WF-1000XM4S. The 6mm full-range dynamic drivers inside each of the Ipx4-rated buds offer a lively, detailed listen, with accomplished ANC and about 24 hours of total battery life. They’re also very comfortable and the accompanying app is excellent – so while they can be bettered on individual aspects, there’s nothing better for everyday use. £250 / sony.co.uk
