We’re halfway into the new year but there’s one thing that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. If you’re a WFH warrior who’s likely to spend more time matching those formal jackets with shorts or track bottoms, make sure you have the right kit. Gadgets that let you flit from work to play mode in a flash.

Whether you’re wowing the board online with your PowerPoint wizardry or on marathon calls with demanding customers, you need a dependable set of Bluetooth headphones.
