These light-up earphones are what listening to music in the future looks like

Chinese firm Meizu has created an eye-catching way to make their headphones stand out – a light-up cable that can glow red or blue for up to five hours.

The futuristic-looking earphones are aptly known as Halo, and are wrapped in a light-diffusing fibre made from flexible glass that can be bent and curved.

The bad news is that for now, the Halo appears to only be going on sale in China, where they’ll cost around £113 when they launch at the end of April.
