Performance

Compared to my old pair or my backup iPhone wire headphones, the sound quality is exceptional. We’re talking clear surround sound, full bass and jog-proof. The battery life is also superior to other wireless numbers I’ve tried at nine hours (and another 18 hours with the charging case), so you could run an ultramarathon before they die.

Crucially, they’re also sweat, rain and splash-resistant. I’ve tried them while running, cycling and weight training, and they’re excellent whether you’re on the road or in the gym for cutting distractions while staying safe. Thanks to their sound-cutting capacity, they’re also brilliant at work; I’ve never been so productive in the office!

Value for money

At £119.99, they’re not cheap, but I tend to think that it’s worth investing in good pieces of kit if you’re going to use them. These are headphones to run, walk, work and travel with, and good battery life doesn’t come cheap. If I lose these, I’m fully prepared to buy the same set again.

Verdict

They’re everything you’d want from a pair of sports headphones. They’re lightweight, sturdy and long-lasting. And perhaps most importantly, they make my cringy Spotify running playlists sound epic. I’d probably argue that they’re not as safe as, say, the bone technology headphones that sit above rather than in the earhole, but they’re definitely great for events like Parkrun and Run Through where you’re not competing against traffic.
