5 of the best headphones for summer

SoundMagic E10

£35, amazon.co.uk
The SoundMagic E10s have blasted in from China to demonstrate once again that affordable, entry-level earphones don't necessarily mean you have to compromise on audio quality. These fantastically stylish earbuds pack a durable metal casing that makes them feel much more valuable than they really are – and they sound rich, too, with awesome punch, excellent balance from treble to bass and bags of detail. They punch well above their weigh in terms of sound quality, which means you get the premium audio experience without the premium price tag. We'd have them at twice the price.
