These stylish on-ear Bluetooth headphones are cheap enough, but we'd spend that little bit extra and get a better sound

Very affordable; good battery life; on board controls; detailed sound
Against
Overly bright; lack warmth and intimacy; uncomfortable
The Santok Bluetooth headphones are nigh-on identical to the Jaybird SB2s in design.
You won't get the jazzy colours, though, and there's no sign of apt-X. An average 10m range and 8-hour battery life does, however, come with the knockdown price tag.
There are standard volume, track and call controls on board, but Santok's pads are a little less comfortable than Jaybird's.
Sonically, Foals' 2 Trees sounds delicate and detailed, but lacks the warmth and intimacy of others, and there's tendency to brightness at times. We'd pay a little more.
