We've all got that one song we crank in the car when we're with our best friend (or alone, no judgement) and sing along to at the top of our lungs. Or a tune that always makes us think of a sweet moment with our significant other. Music has a magical way of being intertwined with our memories. It connects people and brings them together, even across different countries and cultures.
When we venture out into the world, even if it's just to a park in our neighbourhood, we want to take our music with us. Here, we've rounded up the best musical gear to hit the road with.
