Preparing for a marathon is tough and sweaty work, which is why having a pair of the best sweat proof headphones for running can be a blessing. It gets irritating after a while when headphones are sliding off your head and earbuds are falling out because the area is so slippery.

It can really detract from a run and the training process as you have to keep stopping so that you can adjust your headphones. Sweat proof headphones take all of this away, so you can stay active and motivated while running in style.

1. Monster iSport Freedom (£149.99)

These wireless headphones have Bluetooth, meaning that there are no annoying cables to hit your chest while you run. There are easily accessible buttons on the side for volume and track control, as well as a function to voice activate calls so that you don’t need to stop and fiddle. It frees up your mind so that you can focus on the music and your run.

The sound quality is excellent, and they are easy to charge via USB adaptor, so you can plug them in while you surf the web. They are sweat proof, so they will stay on your head and won’t slip off when you exert yourself. They are also water proof and offer a soft cushion to keep your ears comfortable throughout your regime so that you don’t end up with painful spots and sore ears.

2. Adidas Monster Sport Response (£40)

These earbuds are great, and available at an incredibly affordable price. They are brilliant at staying secure in your ears, partly because they are sweat proof but also thanks to the hooks that attach to the outside of your ear. They will stay in through all of your workouts, providing you with a clear and focused exercise session without compromising on comfort.

They come with three different sizes of earbud for your comfort, so you can find the perfect fit for you.

I’m a Welshman born and raised in the shadow of Snowdonia, and you could say the Mountains are in my blood with a name like Tryfan! I would class myself as a relative newcomer to the outdoor pursuits arena, and so my articles will be my attempt to chronicle my adventures, hopefully learning as I go and giving those that are in a similar boat an insight / forum to share and learn.
