Whether you’re running on a treadmill, around your local park or trying to beat your best 10km time, wireless earbuds have become the preferred choice for runners worldwide due to their convenience and ease of use. They offer numerous benefits, including improved comfort and reduced noise levels. Unlike clunky headphones with wires, wireless earbuds can be worn on the go, making them an ideal choice for those who enjoy running.
When it comes to selecting wireless earbuds, those wearing them while exercising may have different priorities than those using them on public transport or while sitting at their desk. We’ll go through some of the priorities for those wearing earbuds for sport below.
The last thing you want while running is to worry that your tiny earbuds might fall out mid-stride. Now you will find wireless earbuds are far more secure, such as the TONE Free fit which has stabilising wings that hook into your outer ear and provide a secure and comfortable fit.2
With the TONE Free fit, you can also touch them to adjust the Noise Cancelling mode, this allows you to talk to others and hear them clearly without having to remove the wireless earbuds.2
LG have specifically ensured that their sports earbuds are protected from water damage.3 Making them sweatproof means you don’t have to worry about damaging them during even the most high-intensity training.
The simple answer is yes. If you are running in the gym, then you will undoubtedly work up a sweat and do not want it to affect the performance of your wireless earbuds. Equally, if you prefer to go for your runs outside, then rain could cause some serious damage if your earbuds are not water-resistant.5 Not only could it damage the outside of the product, but the sound quality could also be affected.
Not only could it damage the outside of the product, but the sound quality could also be affected.
At one time runners would have preferred the security and comfort that came with headphones. Many would argue the sound quality is also superior. However, technology has come so much that now earbuds can deliver incredible audio while also providing a secure fit.
Wireless earbuds with high sound quality and noise-cancelling features can make it easy to forget about your surroundings. LG has created modes to keep you aware of your surroundings. Listening Mode allows more background sound to be heard, while Conversation Mode amplifies people's voices, making it useful in busy areas with pedestrians. This allows you to talk without removing your earbuds, ensuring you stay connected and aware of your surroundings.9,10
Thanks to a combination of wireless connectivity, a secure fit, user-friendly features, sweat/water resistance and immersive audio, it is no surprise that wireless earbuds are a popular choice for audio enthusiasts and everyday users alike.
