Hassle-free headphones

Groov-e Wireless Sportsbuds £35

I’ve turned into one of those annoying people who never leaves home without an armoury of albums saved on my phone. I love listening to music, particularly if I’m walking alone, and even more so if there’s a wild camp involved. Headphone wires are a hassle, getting caught underneath rucksack straps and various layers, which is where these flashy wireless Bluetooth jobs come in. They’re sweat-resistant, last for around four hours, and come with their own charging case that gives an extra 24 hours’ juice while you’re on the move. Even better, that same case can also be used as a powerbank for other devices like phones or headtorches. The sound is decent if not spectacular and I don’t think I’ll ever win any fashion prizes with them on; but they’re reliable, easy to use and never get tangled up in my pocket!

Verdict

No hassle, good sound and don’t make me look like too much of a plonker (I hope).
