We might not be taking long overseas trips at the moment as we stay a little closer to home, but whether it’s a 1 hour flight to a nearby city, a quick train trip to the city or the commute to work, having a great pair of headphones that blocks out the rest of the world and allows you to be in your own zone is a must.
Here are three of the best headphones for travel that combine style, quality and performance. They might be on the more expensive side but for the equality and durability they will be excellent long term value.
