England Lioness Chloe Kelly uses these noise-cancelling headphones ahead of semi-finals
Tonight (July 22) marks the women's semi-final of the Euros, where England will face Italy. After the long and anxiety-ridden match against Sweden last week, England supporters are eagerly anticipating watching the Lionesses potentially carry England into the Euros final. To keep up with the semi-finals build-up and stay up to date with all things Euros, check out our Live Blog here.
Ahead of tonight's match, the England forward Chloe Kelly took to Instagram to share a picture of her and her fellow teammates on their way to the stadium. But keen-eyed fans may have noticed the pair of headphones placed beside Chloe, and we think we've figured out exactly what wireless noise-cancelling headphones she was using to get in the zone before training.
Though Chloe isn't using the headphones, nor did she confirm they're brand, it's pretty clear the pair of headphones next to her are these Sonos Ace headphones.
From the brand known for creating top-of-the-range gadgets, these headphones, in particular, have been obsessively crafted and masterfully tuned to make you feel at one with the sounds that matter most to you. Whether you're getting amped up to your favourite tunes ahead of a big game, or commuting to work listening to your favourite podcast, these headphones have got you covered.
The white headphones Chloe uses promise to let you feel every frequency with superior precision and clarity. They are touted for maximising your immersion with lossless streaming, promising uninterrupted listening no matter where you are or what device you're connected to.
Plus, the spatial audio and dynamic head tracking ensure these are perfect for taking calls while you're on the go. Not to mention, the world-class Active Noise Cancellation means you can hear your phone call, audiobook, music and more without interruption from background noise.
Hear what's going around you with Aware mode, which keeps you conscious of your surroundings while you're walking to work, taking the tube or communicating by bus, ensuring safety while you're out and about
Armed with up to 30 hours of battery life, these headphones promise exceptional comfort and flawlessly clear and crisp audio no matter what you're listening to or where you are. They seamlessly connect to your devices wirelessly using Bluetooth, or you can use the included USB-C and 3.5 mm cables provided if you'd rather enjoy wired listening.
Available in white, like Chloe's pair, or black, these headphones aren't just a favourite of the England football star, as plenty of 5-star reviews pour in.
One thrilled customer raves: "Bought these in the recent EOFY sale and zero regrets. I was choosing between the AirPods Max, Sony XM6 and these. The NC is AMAZING on these bad boys and serve me well casually, in office and on planes. The sound is fantastic, and I love them having physical controls. Also not too bulky and ear cups and very comfy and don't hurt head or ears."
While another satisfied shopper shares: "I don't have any comparable usage to other high-end noise cancellation headphones, but took the chance on these based on the other Sonos products I own. I love these headphones! They are comfortable, easy to pair and use with multiple devices. During the day, they are paired to my phone and computer. They work seamlessly between streaming music from my phone and taking work calls on my computer. In the evenings, I use them in the den to watch TV, seamlessly switching to the headphones from my Sonos home theater system. I've also taken calls at a loud coffee shop and been told my voice is clear and the background noise cannot be heard. I've yet to use them during air travel but fully expect a much more peaceful experience.2
And this buyer beams: "I initially wanted Apple over ear headphones but tried these on instore instead. The active noise and noise cancelling sold me as I'm a teacher and sometimes need to block out the noise of the world so I don't get overstimulated. The audio quality is great. And they are light and sleek."

Early strike gives Ireland victory over Italy in Portugal
Jeremy Duncan's early goal was enough to see off Italy to put them three points clear at the top of Pool A with one game remaining. Ireland began brightly, winning their first penalty corner after just two minutes. Lee Cole's effort was well saved, but Duncan was on hand to follow up and find the net. Chances were few and far between for the remainder of the first half, with Italy sitting deep and crowding their circle to make things difficult for the Irish attackers. The tactic served them well, with Ireland unable to add to their one-goal lead before half-time. Despite an energetic start and a number of early circle penetrations, efforts on goal remained elusive. Two late penalty corners proved the best chances for Ireland, the first of which was deflected wide, and the second initially resulting in a penalty stroke for Ireland, which was eventually overturned. The close scoreline set up a nervy final quarter for Ireland, with Italy winning a penalty corner that forced Jaime Carr into a good save. Italy continued to enjoy prolonged phases in the Irish half, but Ireland were alive to any efforts to manufacture a chance on goal. In a last-ditch effort to salvage a draw, Italy substituted their keeper in favour of an additional outfield player with three minutes remaining, but Ireland, held out to secure the points and extend their lead at the top of Pool A. They play their third and final Pool match against Portugal today at 6pm.

'I was in the crowd when England's Lionesses roared home - the atmosphere was incredible'
More than 65,000 people gathered in central London to watch England's Lionesses celebrate their homecoming in style It looked like it was going to rain on their parade. All morning, thick clouds hovered over Buckingham Palace like they were ready to burst - ominous, brooding. A bit like England in the group stages. Or England 2-0 down against Sweden, or right up to extra time against France. But with this group, you knew it would come good in the end. And sure enough, just as their two red open-topped buses turned onto the Mall, the clouds parted and the sun came blazing down in glory. Over 65,000 people erupted in cheers, not for the weather, but for what we'd all come to celebrate - the Lionesses, double European champions, heroes of the summer. I had joined the throng of jubilant fans lining the Mall, packed shoulder-to-shoulder with families, football fans, and faces painted with pride. Some of whom had arrived in the early hours to get the best view of the women whose names were emblazoned on their shirts and flags. Even before the Lionesses arrived, excitement rippled through the air. The noise built as the crowd swelled - chants echoing, fans singing along to the Royal Marines Band's brass rendition of It's Coming Home, and cheers ringing out as England's tournament highlights played on the big screens. Many of those cheering were teenage girls who had followed every nail-biting second of the Lionesses' journey - and had to see the finale too as their heroes brought it home. Among them was 12-year-old Amelie from Brighton, who was with her dad Anthony. Watching Sarina Wiegman's side win the Euros in 2022 inspired her to take up football, and she's just got home from competing with her girls' team in the Gothia Cup in Sweden. 'I just saw how happy it makes them and how determined they are and how much work they put in,' she said. 'It just really inspired me. 'This time I watched every single game. It's given me even more determination. It's made me realise that the sky's the limit.' Friends Bea, Lily and Izzy, all 16 from Guildford, agreed it was important to be there. 'So many girls have got into football because of them,' said Bea. 'They inspire me. They taught me not to give up, because even when it looks like you might not win, you still can.' The Mall has probably never heard such high-pitched screams as when the Lionesses finally came into view. Some of the girls gasped as they saw their heroines riding past. They looked as excited to see them - filming on their phones, waving and blowing kisses, and Captain Leah Williamson hoisting the trophy aloft. There were still more memories to be made. Sarina dancing on stage with Burna Boy. Chloe Kelly dropping an F-bomb on live TV - prompting a wince and an apology from Alex Scott between giggles. Heather Small leading the England squad in a rendition of Proud. Then came the final crescendo - red smoke billowing into the sky as the squad raised the trophy once more. It was followed by the loudest moment of the day - tens of thousands belting out Sweet Caroline in unison. And right until the very end, the sun kept shining for the Lionesses. Of course it did.

Why England hero Jess Carter decided to miss Euro 2025 trophy parade
Lionesses defender Jess Carter was a surprise absentee from England's Euro 2025 trophy parade. Around 65,000 fans and members of the Royal Family attended England's joyous trophy parade in London on Tuesday afternoon. The England squad, which retained their Euros title with a penalty shootout win over Spain, was taken along The Mall in an open-top bus. The players then gathered on a stage in front of the Queen Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace where the merriment continued. All but one of England's Euro-winning squad attended the parade, with Carter a surprise absentee following her crucial performance in the final. There had been scrutiny over Carter's place in the team earlier in the tournament but she justified Sarina Wiegman's faith with an impressive performance against World Cup holders Spain. As well as missing the trophy parade in central London, Carter also missed the England squad's visit to Downing Street on Monday evening. That is because the 27-year-old immediately flew back to the United States after the Euro 2025 final to prepare for another game. Carter's club side Gotham FC return to NWSL action on Saturday with an away match against Chicago Stars. According to talkSPORT, it was Carter's decision not her club's to return straightaway, even though it meant missing two days of celebration back in the UK. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video That appears to be the case as fellow England players Esme Morgan and Anna Moorhouse, who also play club football in America, attended the parade. Carter's decision to miss the celebrations divided England fans, with many saying it was a shame she was not involved after helping the Lionesses become two-time European champions. 'Jess Carter deserves to be there,' one fan posted on X with a crying emoji, while another said: 'I so wish Jess Carter was there to feel the love too.' Others said it was an example of 'elite mentality' from Carter, though there were also complaints about the congested football calendar which gives little time for breaks, even after major tournaments. Carter revealed she would be 'taking a step back from social media' during Euro 2025 due to the racist abuse she was suffering. 'From the start of the tournament I have experienced a lot of racial abuse,' said Carter, who is yet to post following England's Euros victory. 'While I feel every fan is entitled to their opinion on performance and result, I don't agree, or think, it's OK to target someone's appearance or race. 'As a result of this I will be taking a step back from social media and leaving it to a team to deal with.' That abuse – plus the prospect of playing in a Euros final – left Carter 'scared' to even play in Sunday's showpiece event in Basel. 'I was super scared to play today for the first time in my life,' Carter told ITV after the match. 'But when I woke up and I saw my team, and the support I had and the belief I had from my teammates, my family and my manager, I knew I could just come out and give it my all. That's all you can do. 'To have that faith from Sarina to put me back in the squad, and that she believed I could help this team win a trophy, was amazing. It gave me a lot of confidence going into this game.' More Trending Speaking at England's trophy parade, Lionesses captain Leah Williamson said: 'I've been crying all the way down The Mall! 'This is unbelievable, probably one of the best things we've been a part of. We're making history every single step. Stay with us, this story is not done yet.' Chloe Kelly, who scored England's winning penalty against Spain, added: 'This is incredible. Pressure, what pressure? 'It is so good to stand side by side with every single one of these girls throughout the whole tournament, and the staff that you don't see behind the scenes.'
