3 Best Headphones for Runners

If you're a runner who enjoys hitting the trails with your favorite pump-up jams blasting in your ears, don't settle for headphones that fall short on the quality scale. Throw out those old, tangled, poor quality headphones—you know, the ones that fall out of your ears every ten steps—and treat yourself to one of these top-of-the-line headphones.

AfterShokz Mobiles

If you're a jogger, these headphones are ideal for you! They employ a new bone conduction technology, which requires the headphones to rest on your head a half-inch in front of your ears. Audio signals move through your cheekbones to your ears, providing clear sound quality without sacrificing your environmental awareness. You no longer have to choose between safety and tunes. You can have both! Purchase the headphones for $70 at AfterShokz.

Yurbuds Ironman Inspire Pro

If the equipment is named after the Ironman competition, it should be good, right? These headphones are extremely light and water-resistant, and they ave hands-free features that let you adjust the volume and song track without touching the player itself. Although the audio quality is not world class, headphone comfort is second to none. You can purchase these headphones for $60 at Yurbuds.

Sennheiser PMX 680i Sports

The around-the-neck configuration of these adidas headphones offers an alternative to earbuds. These light, water-resistant headphones also offer hands-free options. Plus, with exceptional bass, you can really feel the beat of your workout mix, which should keep your legs pumping! You can purchase the headphones for $70 at Sennheiser.
