AirPods 3 are what AirPods should have be like from day one, but now, when they are finally here, we are thrilled.

Focal Clear MG has been upgraded with diaphragms in pure magnesium, which turns out to give even better sound.

QuietComfort 45 is essentially a QC35 II with ambient sound - and USB-C.

Devialet Gemini are earplugs that can stand up against the very best.

If you are looking for affordable headphones with noise reduction and good sound, these may be the answer.

If you need new earbuds, they should be completely wireless. Here we are looking for the best of the cheaper premium buds.

Supra has taken its brilliant cheap plugs and given them active noise cancellation - and even longer battery life. The price tag is also higher.

If you are a bit technical and trust your own ears, you can tweak JBL Tour Pro+ to golden sound.

We have seldom been so excited about a pair of earplugs for less than £200. Or so similarly disappointed.
