Jabra Move

Although depending on the color we can find offers below 50 euros, the Jabra Move ( 63.56 euros ) is a good combination of clear sound, a more than acceptable 8-hour battery and its typically Scandinavian minimalist design, place of origin of the firm.

A very interesting model for its price-quality ratio made of resistant materials such as stainless steel and dirt-resistant fabric, with simple controls on the capsules and hands-free function.

Audio-Technica ATH-S200BT

The Audio-Technica ATH-S200BT are helmets for those users who are looking for a lightweight, comfortable model with good autonomy figures , since according to the manufacturer it reaches 40 hours of autonomy with 4 hours of charging. They are also foldable.

Its control is simple and intuitive from the left cup, from where you can manage the volume, playback and pause or skip the track, with the possibility of answering calls. They have a microphone to answer phone calls.

The ATH-S200BT has Bluetooth 4.1, covers a wide spectrum of frequencies and its driver measures 4 centimeters, which provides a powerful sound with good behavior in both bass and treble. On Amazon for 54.99 euros .

Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT

Another model that stands out for its comfort are the Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT, a circuit-wrapped helmets with Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC connectivity and jack cable in case you run out of battery and want to continue using them. However, according to the manufacturer they reach 25 hours of autonomy .

These headphones provide a balanced sound, with nuances and dynamic bass , thanks to the aptX codec and a frequency response of 18 - 22,000 Hz.

They have a minimalist and elegant design with folding headband, with synthetic leather pads from where calls can be controlled and answered. They come with a case to store them once folded. On Amazon for 83.29 euros .

Sony MDR-XB950B1B

For those looking for deep and deep sounds or simply adjust the sound according to their preferences , the Sony MDR-XB950B1B comes with the Sony Headphones Connect app that allows you to modify bass levels and other sound presets.

Despite their discreet design, they are quite bulky helmets that cover the entire auditory pavilion and also do not fold, so they are not the best option for mobility.

Inside we find a 40 mm driver and a battery with autonomy of up to 18 hours, even with the Extra Bass function activated. They connect to the player via Bluetooth or NFC. On Amazon for 98.50 euros .

100 to 200 euros
Marshall Mid

The legendary Marshall brand has in its catalog a simple but complete model , the Marshall Mid ( 119.95 euros in PcComponentes) that features a signature aesthetic with black vinyl, solid metal hinges and silver details. To make it comfortable, your headband is plush and the hinges fit in three dimensions.

These supraural headphones feature aptX Bluetooth codec and 40mm dynamic drivers for balanced sound with special impact on the bass. They also integrate 2 passive noise reduction microphones that are also used for hands-free and voice notes. According to the manufacturer, the autonomy reaches 30 hours of reproduction with a single charge.

The new AirPods are one of the most popular models in the wireless earbuds and now that they have dropped from their initial 179 euros to 145 euros , they become a more interesting option despite offering a simply correct sound.

The best thing about the AirPods is the minimalism and ergonomics of its design (if you are not afraid of losing them, of course), the ease of use and its load, since it is enough to put them a quarter of an hour inside your box to be able to use them for 3 hours. If we let them fully charge, Apple ensures that they provide us with up to 5 hours of use.

These new AirPods differ from the previous model essentially in improved connectivity and Siri support in hands-free mode, new chip and greater autonomy .

Thanks to the new H1 chip, accelerometer and integrated optical sensors, the AirPods light up as soon as you take them out of the case, they sound when you put them on and stop when you take them off. Of course, if you have Apple devices, it is a very important alternative to consider. And if you don't have them, you'll still have a compact, fast-charging, hands-free headset , but you won't make the most of its potential.
