I have to admit, I sometimes feel a little bit envious of people with Beats headphones hanging around their neck. To me at least, it seems like anyone who owns Beats must have their life in control. They're the kind of people who actually go to the gym and look good while they're doing it. But the most exercise I do is walking to and from my fridge — and usually wearing headphones that definitely didn't cost a week's wages. Luckily I'm here to lend you a helping hand — I've selected some of the best headphones under £50 that'll give you both style and substance.

Although certain headphones might look impressive at the gym or out and about, that doesn't always mean they're worth splashing out on. Why fork out hundreds when you could have potentially paid a lot less for a similar quality? After all, when you listen to your favourite musicians, you want to be sure you're catching every beat, texture, colour, nuance, so that you can love them to your fullest. And despite what you might think, you can get that super immersive and high quality sonic experience without spending a fortune. Here are seven high-quality options that'll help you do just that.
