The Best Headphones For Runners As a runner, you most important running accessory is most definitely your shoes but coming in at a close second is a killer playlist. But of what use is a killer playlist if your earphones or headphones make listening to them a chore? Running without good music is torture, it’s no fun at all and I personally believe that bad headphones are even worse – breaking off your songs, cutting off your music, no one wants that. To really enjoy your run, you need good quality, headphones.
Now, good quality headphones are not necessarily good for running. You need to get earphones or headphones that are optimized for runners. And there are several things that you need to consider. First, you need to check for how waterproof and sweatproof they are. Can you access the controls easily? You also need to check for how well the headphones will stay in your ears. The ear tips must be comfortable, and the headphones should be able to pair with the running apps you use. There are also some good headphones that can track your heart rate and count your steps, but this shouldn’t be a deal breaker, especially if you’re not looking to break the bank.
