Sports Headphones for Exercise

Headphones for sport, including running, jogging, cycling, snowboarding, skiing, skating and other energetic activities such as working out at the gym.

What's Important for Sport?

If you're working your body while listening to music through headphones there are just a couple of things that are really important. First of all your earphones need to stay attached to your head. It's obviously no good if your earphones fall out when you move. Second your headphones need to be able to cope with harsh conditions, i.e. the cabling needs to be sturdy.

Sennheiser have developed a range of well priced earphones specifically for sport, which offer innovative ways of keeping the headphones attached to your head and have the added benefit of being damp proof.

What About Sound Quality?

If you are looking for something a little more audiophile then you may also want to consider in-ear sound isolating headphones, which offer excellent sound quality, stay put inside your ear with their over ear loops and keep the sweat out by sealing your ear canal.  Please be careful when using ear canal sound isolating headphones while doing activities that require you to be aware of the world around you. Remember that sound isolating headphones can be dangerous when cycling, skating, snowboarding, skiing or while doing any activity that requires awareness of what's going on around you.
