A foldable design and 30-hour battery life make these the perfect travel pair of headphones.

These wireless buds have bespoke drivers to give you stereo sound, no matter the genre of music you choose; their SmartControl App lets you play with the built-in EQ to enhance it even further.
Features like transparent hearing and smart pause keep you aware of your surroundings, but they're also capable of drowning out road noise or chatter on airplanes. These are also great for exercise, thanks to being sweat- and water-resistant, and they offer a seven-hour battery life on a single charge.
Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones
The Studio3 headphones are a stylish over-the-ear option that'll give you excellent sound quality and adaptive noise cancelling functionality, eliminating the outside world from your listening experience. On-ear controls allow you to switch between songs and adjust volume just by tapping the cup and a 22-hour battery life will see you through your entire day.
Equipped with 32mm drivers, a Bass Boost button, and 29 hours of playback time on a single charge, these Philips Audio headphones are perfect for anyone who wants to keep their tunes pumping all day.
