For many people, listening to music is a prerequisite for running, and they struggle to find the motivation to hit the pavements, parks or trails without a soundtrack to invigorate and inspire them, or possibly a podcast to distract them the pain or drown out all the puffing and panting. Accordingly, there are an increasing number of excellent running headphones and air pods on the market, offering an ever-more sophisticated suite of features for the active audio slave.
There are at least five different types of running ear pods and headphones for people to choose from. It’s important to remember that having some sensory awareness of what is happening around you is very important from a safety point of view (hence why many races ban all or some kinds of headphones), which has led to the rise in popularity of bone conducting and open-ear technology. Many of these models are super expensive, but the first thing I noticed about the Tozo OpenEgo wireless open-ear headphones was the very reasonable price tag.
