BOSE NCH 700

£300 / bose.co.uk

The NCH stands for noise-cancelling headphones, but don’t let an overly literal model name put you off: Bose knows exactly what it’s doing where hubbub-killing cans are concerned. So what you have here is a pair of wireless on-ears that cancel noise as effectively as you might imagine and, as a bonus, look a lot less frumpy than you might have been fearing.
