sound that works

with pretty much

any genre, the KEF

Egg speakers are

ideal partners for

your Mac. They

support high-quality aptX Bluetooth too,

making them perfect for wireless

playback. Quirky design, solid build quality

and support for external subwoofers

makes them a great choice.

Master & Dynamic’s
MW07 Plus offer 10
hours of listening time,
and the charging case
holds an additional
three charges (so you
get 40 hours in total). These great-
sounding earbuds are IPX5 rated, so

commuting. The marble-effect finish gives
them a premium aesthetic, as does the
stainless steel charging case.
