The Nokia BH-504s are light, comfortable – and sound rather good.

They give you control via on-ear buttons with play/pause, skip track (although the skip track button doesn't work with the iPhone) and a function button for taking calls from a Bluetooth mobile.

Music is clear, open, organised and detailed. Drake's Shut It Down sounds crisp, full-bodied and musical.

Bass-lovers might miss the last word in extension and they have a tendency to sound a little safe, but these are well worthy of investigation.
