Your Back-to-School Audio Kit: Mixx Audio picks for every type of student

Back to school never sounded so good! Whether you’re a parent kitting out the kids for a new term or picking out the right tech for your Uni room, we’ve got your audio needs sorted. Here are a few of our top picks to kick off the new school year.

True Wireless Earbuds: For the creative student who wants to make a statement

Streambuds Switch Range (£25)

Our all-new Switch range comes in six colours and three sleek styles: the capsule D7 fit, the contoured A7 fit, and the silicone-stem S7 fit. With up to 6 hours of play time and an extra 12 hours from the case, you’ll get 18 hours of listening before needing to recharge. Whether you’re vibing in the common room or commuting to school, these budget-friendly earbuds offer great sounds and a pop of colour to your listening!

Wireless Headphones: For the laid-back student who puts comfort first

StreamQ C2 (£25)

If over-ear headphones are more your jam, the StreamQ C2 are an excellent affordable choice. With up to 25 hours of battery life, and a quick-charge feature that gives you 8 hours of play from just 15 minutes, they’ll easily keep up with your busiest days. The earpads are cushioned and the earcups are designed to give your ears space to breathe so there’s minimal pressure build-up no matter how long your study sesh runs. They’re comfy, reliable, and won’t break the bank, making them perfect for long listening without the headaches.

Sports Headphones: For the sporty student who’s always on the move

StreamBuds Sports Charge 2 (£35) and Resonate (£35)

Whether you’re on the football team or always running after the bus, our sports headphones designed with security in mind. If you’re after a traditional earbud with a secure over-ear hook, our Sports Charge 2 is a reliable choice for anyone with an active lifestyle. For those who would like to stay alert to their surroundings while listening to music, the Resonate uses bone conduction technology to keep your ears open so you’re not disconnected from things like traffic around you. These are a great safety-conscious option for any student walking home or exercising after school in the winter months.  

ANC Headphones: For the focused student who’s locking in for exams
StreamQ C4 (£50) and ANC Charge (£40)

If you have a little more budget to play with, ANC is an amazing feature to add to your study sesh. For students with upcoming exams and a lot of coursework to get on top of, we recommend our StreamQ C4 or ANC Charge. The StreamQ C4 is the upgraded version of the StreamQ C2 with robust ANC so you can focus regardless of the chaos around you. If you prefer earbuds, ANC charge offers that same ANC technology in earbud form. You can toggle between transparent, normal and ANC modes. The C4 offers a little more noise isolation due to their memory foam earpads creating a seal around your ears but they’re both excellent choices for when you need some peace and quiet.

Vinyl Record Player: For the Uni student with the coolest room

 Revival 55 (£79)

For older students who are off to university and living away from home, it’s super exciting to have a chance to customize your own space. The Revival 55 will make sure you always have music sorted at the hangout. It’s a great affordable and easy to transport record player and an excellent piece to kickstart a love of vinyl and kit out your uni room.
