Being a new runner, everything is new to me: footwear, clothing, and all the accessories needed for a successful run are essential whether it’s in your neighbourhood or in a marathon. I learned quickly that I needed a headband to keep my hair out of my face when a ponytail wouldn’t suffice, and that proper footwear can make all the difference. I also learned that the earbuds that came with my phone wouldn’t do the job when running. They were constantly falling out (though a good headband helps to a certain extent).
This Spring, I’ll be heading outdoors with Jaybird FREEDOM 2 Wireless Sport Headphones! Sweat-proof and water resistant, these sport headphones also come with a 4 hour charge time and 4 hour charge clip (giving you 8 hours total!), meaning someone like me who runs in the mornings outside won’t have to charge it more than once a week or so (of course that will vary for everyone!) The interchangeable combined tips and fins (look at all the new terminology I’m learning!) create the perfect fit in my ears, and also ensure there’s no way they’re going to fly out when I run. Hooray, finally! And, the SpeedFit design lets you adjust to a custom fit in just seconds; you easily switch to an under-ear fit to access the built-in microphone and take calls while on the go (not a good thing for me, who wants to talk to someone gasping for breath?)
I’ve tested these wireless headphones out on the treadmill and so far so good – perfect fit, no issues falling out, and I haven’t had to charge them yet (which I suppose tells you how often I’m on the treadmill, whoops.)
Shopping directly at JaybirdSport.com you’ll find the FREEDOM 2 With Speedfit Wireless Sport Headphones for $$199.99 in your choice of three colors. But wait! If you shop at Amazon.ca or BestBuy.ca you’ll find them for $129.99!
WOW, headphones that don’t fall out, plus have a 4 hour charge time with additional 4 hour charge clip sound awesome, thx for this great review.
I always like advice on new headphones!
These sound awesome!
My daughter would love these!!
I love headphone that don’t fall out! Unfortunately they are not in my price range.
I find that most in-your-ear headphones fall out of my ears.. It is so frustrating!! These are a bit pricey, but I bet they last a lot longer than the cheap ones I have, and they fall out all of the time anyway. Thanks for the review. I’ll have to keep these in mind.
I’ve just got my first pair of wireless headphones. It is quite liberating, but I’m still looking for the wire, which freaks me out occasionally.
It’s so hard to find ones that fit properly and don’t hurt or fall out!
I still use the ones that came with my phone but I am only walking so they don’t seem to fall out.
These would be good for me on my walks
They look like wonderful wireless head phones.
Those sound great. I tend to need the smallest size of ear buds so I like that they are customizable!
These headphones sound like they’re great
Having headphones that won’t fall out on you will be will be a big bonus for when you’re running and these headphones sound like they’ll be great for you
I used to hear head phones I would love to try these. Love to own one that stays in
These sound like ideal headphones for runners or anyone for that matter, there’s nothing worse than headphones that keep falling out of your ears. Loved the “who wants to talk to someone gasping for breath?” comment, made me smile 🙂
These sound great!..no pun intended!, I could use a pair for the gym
I always have trouble with earbuds staying in my ears but these sound like ones that may actually work for me.
Too true! Earbuds simply hang around my neck if I try to use them.
sweet ! this is something i could use once i get back on my elliptical. The ones i have always fall out!! it is so annoying
The headphones I have right now are annoying cause they fall out once in a while… maybe I should give these a try!
These look great. It’s amazing how much new technology there is in this area.
Great review. Love the fact that they are sweat-proof and water resistant.
These sound awesome! I didn’t even know that there were sweatproof and water resistant headphones. These seem perfect for workouts!
these sound perfect
I have tried so many earphones to find a pair that are comfortable. Nice to see this review and that is a great savings on them if you buy them through Best Buy or Amazon.
These headphones look sweet! Would love a pair for working out.
I would love these!!
Neat! I want these in my life!
Those look so sleek!
These are great sounding headphones! I find I have small ears and buds tend to always pop out – I would love to see if these would work for me
Thank you for tip on finding them much cheaper at Amazon and Best Buy! I find many bud style hurt my ears, but I would be interested in checking these out.
I think this would make a great birthday present for my daughter!!!
Oh thanks for the info, was just looking into getting new headphones.
Really unique look headphones. I like the innovative design and that they are built for running
