No matter what you’re listening to while walking the streets, the freebie earphones smartphones makers supply for free don’t tend to offer great sound reproduction, so it is always worth upgrading to make sure you are making the most of your music collection.

Thanks to John Lewis Electricals, we’ve got a pair of Monster DNA on-ear headphones to give away. They offer a noise-isolating, snug fit cushions over the ears to block out that annoying background hum, and when you do need to make a call, ControlTalk on the cable lets you slip between your music and a call with ease.

The headphones are also foldable, so although they may not be as portable as some earphones, then can be packed away with a minimum of fuss.

All you need to do to enter is follow us on Twitter (@thedescrier), like us on Facebook, and make a comment below telling us why you need some new headphones.

    The cable on my previous headphones is worn out therefore cutting out on the left can, these would be a great replacement. Thank you :)

  2. These would be great, when I wear mine running I only get every few seconds worth of sound, soooooooooo frustrating!

  3. maxineflossy on

    I’ve just started a new job with a long commute on public transport – I need to be entertained!

  4. Because my current noise cancelling headphones are more like noise enhancing headphones. Would love to try a pair of headphones that actually upholds its ‘noise cancelling’ promise.

  5. I would love some headphones so that I don’t have to listen to Winx on my daughters computer 20 times a day!

  10. Judi P Luscombe on

    I would welcome a high quality set of earphones as in our house there is always so much going on, people walking in and out, a tv in every room, Xbox, playstation, need I say more so these would enable me to listen in peace to my music and relax after a hard days work.
