Listen up! Best travel headphones

Listening to music on your travels is a pleasure with these great headphone sets.

Top Quality

R4 000

Comfortable and lightweight, the Beats by Dr Dre Executive headphones work wirelessly, deliver great sound and the battery-powered noise cancellation is excellent. They fold flat into a zip-up travel case, which easily fits in a laptop bag or in a backpack.

Are they worth it? If you’ll use them frequently, admire the complex nuances of sound and have to travel with high-quality earphones, yes.

Modern Music

R3 999

The Jabra Revo Wireless headphones have touch-sensitive dials on the ear pieces, so you can wirelessly control volume, change audio tracks and answer calls off your smartphone via Bluetooth – they feel almost futuristic and the sound quality is top notch.

Super Stylish

R2 500

Monster DNA headphones fold away neatly and come with a protective carry pouch – the entire package is toilet roll-sized and nearly as lightweight.

The colours and design make these a superb choice for trendsetters and the cushioned pads means your music won’t disturb those around you.

Budget Buy

R349

Usually bud headphones are awkward to insert, but these Skullcandy Smokin’ Buds 2 fit snugly, are surprisingly comfy and silence the outside world very well. The stereo sound is impressive for the budget price and a pocket-sized travel case prevents tangles.

Sounds Clever

An iFrogz audio splitter cable has two headphone jacks and is especially useful to keep the kids from fighting over the iPad – they can watch a road-trip movie with their own headphones and you can drive in silence. Available in various colours.
