Having a small pair of in-ear wireless headphones is a gamechanger for those days you just want to pack something light, but effective, in your handbag.
You can use them on plane trips (and comfortably sleep on the side of your head at the same time) or on shorter commutes to work and the sound is every bit as vibrant as larger headsets.
One of my favourite offerings on the market is the Samsung Galaxy Bud 2 Pro, which usually retails for $349, but for a limited time only on Amazon Australia is down to $184 — a discount of 47 per cent.

The product is available in three colours — purple, graphite and white — and the pack comes with the earbuds themselves and a charging case, just like Apple.
The headphones are so comfortable you can barely feel them when they’re in, whether you’re out for a run or winding down in bed for the day.
With 360 degree audio, the intelligent motion-tracking sensor is designed to pinpoint the direction of sound based on your head movement, enabling a theatre-like experience.
Hear every sound in your own space and experience exactly what the artist or filmmaker wanted you to feel with Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
“Changed from iPhone to Samsung products. Apple Airpods weren’t very compatible so I bought these for my Samsung. Great fit, quality and features. Highly recommend,” one woman wrote.
“Amazing sound quality, very convenient and robust touch features and impressive noise cancelling and ambient sound modes,” said another reviewer.
A third added: “They fit nicely in my ears. The best earbuds I’ve had so far. The only drawback is that the battery does not last very long. It will last for approximately three to four hours. To be able to use it for longer I just use one earbud at a time and switch to the other when the battery runs low”.
