Regular travelers know that battery life is crucial to staying calm on even the longest long-haul flights. With a whopping 60 hours of listening time per charge, the Soundmagic P58BT noise-cancelling headphones won’t run out of power during your layover, and they cost less than a few bags of duty-free snacks.

At £80, they’re less than a third of the price of the Sony WH-1000XM5 and even cheaper than the bargain 1More Sonoflow – but you don’t sacrifice much on features. Hybrid ANC can adjust the amount of noise cancelled out based on background conversation, and a Transparency mode lets you talk without having to remove the headphones first.

The stated battery life of 60 hours actually only applies when noise cancellation is turned off. With noise cancellation activated, the battery lasts up to 35 hours. Nevertheless, that is more than enough for the longest commercial flight in the world.

The headphones fold up for transport in the included storage pouch, and the silicone ear pads and headband are sweat and makeup resistant, so they won’t get dirty if you suddenly have to sprint to the gate.

Inside, dynamic 40 mm drivers promise a well-rounded sound with powerful bass and detailed highs.

Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity includes multi-device connectivity – handy if you’re constantly switching between your phone, tablet or laptop – and a low-latency gaming mode means audio syncing shouldn’t be a problem. An included 3.5mm cable also allows for wired listening.

Budget-conscious travellers in the UK and EU can buy the Soundmagic P58BT now for £80/€80 from Amazon and all the usual audio retailers, with a US launch to follow shortly.
