Once upon a time headphones were boring. Now they're to die for. Any self-respecting gamer or music-lover probably owns several sets.
To get the best out of your smartphone or portable music device you need a Bluetooth speaker at home and good headphones for when you are out and about, says Aaron Groombridge, audio product manager at Noel Leeming.
Northlander Jeremy Tauri has four favourite sets. For mobile phone calls he has a Plantronics Bluetooth headset, ear buds for running or going to the gym, and Beats by Dr Dre headphones for listening to music when out and about.
The headphones he waxes lyrical about the most are the Turtle Beach programmable Ear Force PX5s.
The surround-sound gaming headset can be used at home for listening to music, watching movies and, of course, gaming.
