Gadget away from it all

1 BUD WISER

Beats Studio

Buds, €149.95, beatsbydre.com

Beats can always be relied upon to serve up the best in sound equipment and their newly released Studio Buds live up to that billing.

Available in red, black and white, the wireless earphones were designed to prioritise high-quality audio playback and comfort. And thanks to their two listening modes, you are in total control of your sound experience.

Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) blocks out any unwanted external noise, including wind noise, for up to eight hours. But switching to Transparency mode will allow you to also hear the world around you when needed.

Stored in a pocket-sized charging case, with a Fast Fuel five-minute charge, the must-have earbuds of the summer are available now.
