Headphones technology, just like any other products out there, is improving by the day and they are becoming more advanced and useful. There are a variety of specialized headphones, earbuds and in-ear monitors and Bluetooth devices that will make the listening experience more enjoyable whether you’re on a plane reading your book or at work trying to get as much work done and multi-tasking. To pick the best headphone to use at work and not be distracted, it requires a lot of research and reviews, as well as knowing how much they cost. We have narrowed it down to the top 6 headphones for outdoor runners, so here they are.
First, we have some things to look for before purchasing a pair of earbuds.
Are they noise cancelling? Noise cancelling earbuds are essential to drown out cubicle chatters.
Do they have a microphone? Earbuds with mic and volume control. are going to be your best bet, so you can talk without holding the phone to your ear?
Are they tangle free? This is optional for most people, but for me, it’s essential. I had a pair of earbuds get tangled in a pair of my spy prescription glasses. and nearly wrecked my car on the way to work. Tangle free for me from here on out.
Here’s our top list of earbuds:
