### HOT PRODUCT: Jabra Elite 75t, £129.99 (were £169.99)

**USP:** These bestselling buds have won countless awards and with good reason. Fitting snugly in the ear thanks to an ergonomic shape, three different-sized ear tips and a clever grip coating, you won’t feel the need to readjust during your workout. Offering five-star sound quality that filters out background noise with a strong bass, the earbuds also house sensors for automatic ear detection: removing one bud automatically pauses playback, while reinserting resumes playback.

 

 

 

**SPECIAL FEATURES:** The noise-cancelling feature is second to none, but if you’d rather hear what’s going on around you, pressing the button on the left earbud once activates the ‘hear through’ function, allowing you to hear ambient noise – ideal if you’re running in the dark or near main roads. Download the accompanying app and it will allow you to set different audio profiles and tweak the equaliser, adjust call volumes and update the earbuds when a new software version arises. The Elite 75t is voice assistant-enabled and connects to Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant, allowing you to access information when you’re out and about, from appointments to weather alerts. If you plan to use the headphones for calls, the four-microphone system won’t disappoint, providing clear voice transmission.  
  
**DURABILITY:** A robust option, these Jabras are rated IP57, meaning these phones could technically withstand a sandstorm or monsoon. In British terms, they’re moisture and dust resistant. They also come with a two-year warranty, so you can wear them with confidence, whatever the weather.  
  
**BATTERY LIFE:** 7.5 hours (earbuds), 28 hours (charging case – it takes two hours 20 minutes to fully charge the case via a regular computer USB port, or faster using a more powerful USB charger). A 15-minute quick charge in the case also gives the buds enough battery power for around an hour of playback.  
   
**WEIGHT:** The Elite 75t corrects one of the biggest problems with previous Jabra earbuds by being 20% smaller – the buds weigh in at just 5.5g and the case is small and compact, magnetically locking the earbuds in place and fitting into the money pocket on your jeans.

##### Beats Powerbeats Pro, £219.95

Beats is a heavy hitter when it comes to running earphones and this bestselling pair comes highly recommended. Runners with a particularly vigorous training schedule will appreciate the mouldable ear-hook for added security, while the buds are unique in that they push upwards and into the inner ear, providing stellar sound. There are various colours in the collection, and the branding is fairly subtle. The Powerbeats Pro are particularly suited for iPhone users, as they house Apple’s H1 chip and use Class 1 Bluetooth.  
   
**BATTERY LIFE**: Up to nine hours’ listening time on a single charge; more than 24 hours with the charging case. A five-minute charge provides 1.5 hours of playback.  
   
**WEIGHT**: 20g for the earphones.

A complementary app will also sort you out with a personal EQ preset, optimising the sound-field for your ears. Bonus points go to the silicone ear-gels that sit seamlessly in the ears with a weightless feel, even during the most intense workout.  
   
**BATTERY LIFE**: Six hours of playback on a full charge, plus an additional ten hours from the charging case.  
   
**WEIGHT:** 6g with a medium-sized ear bud.
