Sony's noise-cancelling headphones are practical, comfortable, and stylish. 

In our tech-for-dummies corner this week, fancy headphones. Mainly chosen for the sheer joy I get imagining shutting out all the sound and fury in my gaff. Sony's noise-cancelling headphones are practical, comfortable, and stylish with up to 30 hours of battery life. It has all the bells and whistles you'd expect, I won't bother pretending I know what the WH-1000XM4 means, but apparently, it supports Google’s Fast Pair feature. This lets you locate your headphones by ringing them. Cool. €389 available in white, black and silver. For more information, see www.sony.co.uk/electronics/headband-headphones/wh-1000xm4
