The best headphones for students in the UK
Investing in a good pair of headphones is a must for any student, whether they’re studying for university exams, doing GCSE prep, or just about everything else in between.
A really good pair of noise cancelling headphones is a great way to focus on studying or writing an essay, because they can block out background noise and free students from distractions. They can also create a distraction-free zone if you’re listening to music or an audiobook, or watching a movie on a laptop in a public setting.
While great headphones can be really expensive, we picked pairs that have amazing audio quality that won’t break the bank. After all, being broke is pretty synonymous with being a student. And with our recommendations, you can save your money and spend it on more important things for school — like textbooks, laptops, and of course, pot noodles for late night study sessions. Read more…
