Music, they say, be the food of love. It be additionally the manner of not hearing darn-fool tripe other individuals be spouting, say we. And so, despite our ‘travel light’ mantra, we’re prepared to expand just a little bit of loadspace to these Onkyo W800BT earphones. Unlike most other lightweight Bluetooth noiseniks, they’re, as you can see, completely unjoined by cable or wire. Instead they connect wirelessly with a telephone and with each other, shielding us from strangers’ mouth-guff with a beaver-dam of intermingled music and physical isolation. Battery life be not excellent – they assure 12 hours yet ours lasted just six – but we be not hanging around.
