We all know I’m obsessed with podcasts. My poor iPhone is forever bleeping with new episode notifications (or to tell me my memory is running low) and I struggle to keep up to date with all the shows I follow. I constantly have earphones in; when I’m working out, laying in bed, in the bath, even cooking … I’ll find any excuse to whip out my phone and escape from my feuding kiddies.

I have a raft of earphones & headphones to best suit the activity I’m engaged in - if I’m out for a run, I’ll use buds to keep that all important ear free to listen out for traffic, if I’m in bed, I’ll slip on some headphones to block out the sound of Craig & the kids. No solution is perfect though. Buds fall out easily if you accidentally snag them or fiddle with your hair, and it can be hard to find a comfortable position in bed with bulky headphones on.

Cozyphones offer an ideal solution for many common headphone woes. They are essentially a fabric headband with integrated headphone speakers. With a flexible and durable 36 inch braided cord and sturdy 3.5 mm stereo plug, they’re compatible with all your common listening devices, and the cord won’t kink or get tangled.

Available in tons of cool designs, and with a choice of fleece or Lycra mesh ergonomic headband there’s a Cozyphone solution for both relaxation and sweatier pursuits. Lightweight, comfortable and washable they’re fab for travelling, meditation or the gym, and a better fit means better noise cancellation for an improved listening experience.

The bands themselves are super stretchy to accommodate any head shape, and the speakers are fully adjustable so can be pushed back and forth within the headband to ensure the perfect fit. The speakers also offer belting sound as they sit more snugly to your ear than conventional headphones. Better still, you can simply pop out the speakers and the bands are fully machine washable so they always look the part (essential if you are using them for working out).

There are also super cute kids versions with animal character designs - perfect for when your little ones are binging on annoying YouTube videos. Made to the same spec as the adult version, slipping on a pair of these warm and cozy headphones onto your child offers parents everywhere instant migraine relief.

I use mine when I’m doing a spot of cardio training, or relaxing in bed. I love how they don’t slip or hurt my ears & have had plenty of comments in the gym. At around £16 from Amazon they’re really affordable and, thanks to a branded pouch, they also make an ideal gift.

The only minor criticism I have is that there isn’t currently a bluetooth version. Although this is no bother for me as I prefer corded headphones, I would anticipate this feature will occur in later iterations of Cozyphones. I’d also love to see one with a remote control to save me digging out my phone to pause a podcast or adjust the volume. Even without this, I was after something like this for a long time before Cozyphones contacted me for a review, and I suspect a number of my fellow PC addicts will get equally as excited about them. They’ve slotted right into my life and I’ve culled my headphone collection right down as a result.
