Boost your workout with these sports headphones

By What Hi-Fi?

Keep your motivation come rain or shine

(Image credit: Dixons)

The key to good exercise is always motivation, and the key to that motivation is usually great music. Sports headphones keep that going whatever the weather, with their water and sweat-proofing that'll keep out the elements as you pound the pavement on that final half-mile.

Adidas In Ear

(Image credit: Dixons)

These in-ear headphones feature a knitted cable and neckband design, which means you can exercise without restrictions – or getting tangled up in wires! The in-line controls adjust volume, skip tracks and answer calls, leaving you to focus on your workout. And a comfy IPX4 sweatproof- rated neckband and 16 hours of battery life allow you to push yourself hard.

£129.00 (Guide price)

Beats Powerbeats Wireless

Sweat and water resistant, these earphones will also power 12 hours of music. Heading to the gym? Sync with your iPhone or Apple Watch and take calls using Siri, or pair with any Bluetooth device.

Beats Powerbeats Pro

Built for elite athletes, Powerbeats Pro earphones are wireless, so you can workout without anything holding you back! Sweat and water resistance help you go that extra mile, and Premium Class 1 Bluetooth technology provides a better range. The sound quality is powerful and balanced, and a full charge gives nine hours of playback, while a five-minute charge returns an hour and a half.

JBL Endurance Peak

These true wireless in-ear sports headphones are designed to be completely hands-free while exercising. An IPX7 waterproof rating means you needn’t worry about sweat or rain, and their PowerHook feature makes for a comfortable fi t, as well as turning them off when removed from your ear. So you won’t accidentally drain battery when you’re finished with your workout!
