Listening to your favourite music when training has been shown to give you a boost. Take your pick of our headphones round-up to ensure the tunes stay with you no matter where you go.
PLANTRONICS BACKBEAT FIT 3100
The latest incarnation of the excellent BackBeat FIT range is the lightweight 3100, which has been built to maintain serious sound quality even when the going gets tough. The earphones are wireless, fit snugly over the ears and stay put however quickly you change direction. The waterproof, sweat-proof finish also makes them ideal for off-road challenges, such as obstacle race training. They’ll also let in some background noise even while the music plays, which is particularly useful if you’re running outside and need to hear traffic sounds.

JAYBIRD TARAH PRO
If you’re an ultra-endurance runner with a demanding approach to music quality and a lax approach to organization, then this is the pair for you. It offers a whopping 14 hours of play time and you can adjust the sound profile via an easy-to-use app. Possibly the most attractive feature, however, is the fact that it takes only five minutes of charge time to get two hours of play time, which means you’ll never have to experience the horror of a music-free session. The fit is great and it also switches seamlessly between music and phone calls.
