How are sports headphones different from ordinary ones?
- They do not fall out of the ears during active movements.
- They are not bulky and do not interfere with quickly and abruptly changing body postures.
- Sports headphones are lightweight and as compact as possible. And, in most cases, they are protected from moisture, so as not to deteriorate either from rain during jogging, or from sweat.
Classification of sports headphones
Headphones for sports come in vacuum or in-ear.
Higher level of suppression of external noise in the vacuum headphones, which makes the sound quality better. But if you are jogging, then it is safer to hear the sounds that surround you (if you run across the road, for example)
Mountings
In this category, headphones are: with different shaped earhooks, with a nape, with a neck cord, or wireless.
Today, the wireless headphone model is the most relevant, because they are suitable for any kind of sport and provide maximum comfort.
Way of application
Here you need to pay attention to what kind of sport you are doing and the following features should be noticed:
In-ear headphones with a microphone and remote control that adjusts the volume and switches tracks. These headphones are suitable for fitness, bodybuilding, and other gym activities.
Wireless or with different types of fastening, but without complete suppression of external sounds. Suitable for cycling or running.
Highly waterproof wireless headphones for winter sports.
General recommendations when choosing the sport headphones
- Comfort. Headphones should be comfortable and securely attached.
- Be cautious when selecting and not choosing the loudest model but look for the improved noise isolation.
- Protection against moisture will keep the headset not only from rain, but also from sweat. Please pay attention to this before buying.
