Headphones

Hi everyone, my headphones are broken and the thought of starting my week 5 (tomorrow) without a Michael Johnson in my head, is a worry! I’ve been using my regular Apple EarPods but wondered if anyone could recommend any other headphones.

I’m mindful that autumn / winter is coming and I’ll probably be doing some running outside in all weather conditions, plus of course there’s the sweat!

I guess I’d prefer wireless and light enough not to bother me but that will stay on or in my ears.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks!

I've been using Jabra Pace sports headphones. I've got nothing else wireless to compare them with and they were a gift from my husband when I started on my C25K journey, but I've certainly haven't got any complaints about them.

They're a nice snug fit and they also connect to the Jabra sports app if you're into tracking your runs (I'm numbers obsessed, so I get a bit geeky about that type of thing) They have some kind of sweat guarantee too, so I guess they're confident that they're pretty hardy.

I've read on a few forums that some people don't rate the bass on them, but genuinely haven't had any issue with how music or Sarah M sounds through them.

Search Amazon for the brand MPOW. I have their 'Magneto' wireless earbuds. Bluetooth, great battery life, never fallen out. Totally bomb-proof. And £15 about 3 years ago.

Without a doubt, my best purchase ever has been the Bose SoundSport Free. Absolutely incredible headphones, barely noticeable, sound quality is unbeatable.
