If you love listening to a podcast or your favourite playlist while on a run, you'll know just how important the quality of your headphones is from the minute to start the clock.

We'd recommend investing in a wireless pair, as there are no cables flapping around mid-jog, nor are you reliant on holding your phone throughout your workout – if you have a smartwatch you can connect via Bluetooth.

Starting from £29.99, these headphones won't slide out of sweaty ears, nor run out of battery mid-run. Some have over-ear hooks, while others are made with silicone in-ear pads for an extra secure fit.
