£100,  monster.com
Beats headphones are becoming as ubiquitous as those awful white Apple buds and we're not surprised. Dr Dre and his chums have been churning out covetable bass-heavy headphones over the last few years and the Tours are one of the latest.

Recognisably of the Beats stable, that distinctive red ribbon cable puts an end to tangle-related tantrums, the ControlTalk remote lets you pause your music and take calls using the built-in mic – and best of all they're great-sounding earphones, with powerful bass. They're an excellent step up from the default iPod or iPhone set.
