THE FUSE

At R4,000, you're not buying a perfect set of headphones. But Noise's Master Buds Max (the name is so, so wrong...) have quality where it counts. The build is thoughtful and sturdy, the audio is better than you're expecting, and tuning options via the app clear up any limited issues you might have with the standard tuning. A shade more effort from the outset would have helped (even if Bose apparently did the work there), but you're getting your money's worth here.
