Libratone Q Adapt

If you’re an iOS user in the market for

a fresh set of earbuds, you’d do well

to cast your penetrating gaze upon

Libratone’s new Q Adapts. They’re one

of only a small selection of in-ear cans

to come with a Lightning connector,

meaning they’ll hook directly into

iPhones and iPads to carry not only

sound but also power for their CityMix

active noise-cancelling tech.

£139 / libratone.com

Marshall Monitor Bluetooth

The days of Bluetooth headphones’

sound quality being regarded as

substandard are gone – or so says the

Marshall Monitor Bluetooth, a new set

of rugged-looking ear-goggles that

embraces both the traditional and the

modern. Plus they have battery life that

delivers over 30 hours of playback per

charge and 40mm dynamic drivers that

promise sound like balanced thunder.

£219 / marshallheadphones.com

Denon AH-C621R

Appearances can be deceptive. Glance

at Denon’s new AH-C621R headphones

and you might think they’re just your

average in-ears. But no! For starters

you can use their remote to summon

Siri. They also come with an app, which

lets you tweak the sound according

to whether you’re more Frank Ocean

or Frankie Cosmos and gives you

access to TuneIn radio.
