A pair of wireless earbuds might seem like an odd choice to highlight in a section dedicated to the wondrous world of computing, but AKG’s new Hybrid buds have won us over with their sheer versatility. Sure, their superb noise cancellation and personalised high-resolution sound are a treat for the ears when paired with your smartphone, but it’s their included USB dongle that sets them apart from most.

Paired with their superb microphone performance, they’ll handle anything from Spotify and gaming, to Zoom calls and Discord meetups without skipping a beat. With Microsoft Swift Pair and Google Fast Pair smarts, connecting to new devices is effortless too.
