Apple Airpods 3

Hersteller

Order here: Apple Airpods 3

The easier and cheaper in-ear listeners from Apple offer above all a super comfortable, smooth configuration, coupling and operation for iPhone owners.In their third edition, the AirPods now look a bit like the Airpods Pro, only without silicone earplugs: instead of a long, thin stem with touch conditions, there are now significantly shorter stems with print buttons.The EAR buds themselves are shaped somewhat and are at an pointed angle.

Comfort: The lack of silicone or rubber attachments for size adjustment has a real advantage: it makes insertion into the ear super single:.If the buds just hang in the ears like a clothing hook and do not need to push them into the ear canal.For many people this works without any problems, only for some the buttons simply do not find a hold and slip out immediately immediately.In addition, this construction means that outer noises are hardly kept away from the ear.With quiet music passages or between the pieces you get almost everything that is going on around you.This is an advantage for runners: you don't need to activate a certain mode in order to let through ambient noise, or to trust that an automatic.You are never completely sealed off and do not forget to look forward.Practical and typical Apple is the automatic break function when removing and reinstalling the listeners.Runners are happy about the splash protection improved compared to the predecessor and, above all, that it also applies to the pleasantly small, light loading case.

Operation: Apple repeatedly shows how it works (at least as long as you move within the Apple universe): no fiddling coupling, no lengthy configuration, no frustrating study of incomprehensible operating instructions, but simply put in (in this case in this case) and get started.With other Apple devices, the AirPods automatically couple.Simple functions such as play, break, skipping title or accepting telephone calls are controlled via pressure button -like areas on the short shafts - or by voice control ("Hey Siri").Too bad: Unfortunately, the volume cannot be changed, but only on the smartphone.And the occupancy of the keys cannot be changed (as with the Pro model).Everything is geared towards simplicity.Whether you press right or left does the same.

Sound: The sound is very balanced and pleasant - both nice and clear and sufficiently full and breeding.An automatic equalizer ("adaptive EQ") adapts the sound to the environment continuously.As mentioned, you sometimes hear ambient noise through the music due to the design.If you are looking for the pure sound experience, you should more like the Pro model or a listener like the Sony WF-1000XM4 (S..Select below).However, if you do not make extremely high demands in this regard, you will definitely be satisfied-especially since calls sound well and wind noise when running, thanks to special acoustic-fabric covers over the microphones, are within the frame.

Akculaufzeit: The battery life has also been improved compared to the predecessor, Airpods 2.The AirPods 3 now hold out for six hours with their own battery, with reloading in the case even 30 instead of 24 hours beforehand.And as with the Sony WF-1000XM4, only five minutes in the case for 60 minutes of runtime are enough.The loading case is compatible, so it can be cordlessly charged on corresponding mats or chargers (such as the Magsafe charger from Apple).

Conclusion: In particular, iPhone users will definitely be satisfied with the AirPods.Everything works as smoothly and pleasant as you can wish for.With low weight, good sound and great handling, the little ear buds are really fun in everyday life between the couch, home office and running route.

LG Tone Free DFP8

Hersteller

Order here: LG Tone Free DFP8

Smart, light, inconspicuous True Wireless headphones à la Apple with good sound and integrated cleaning function in the charging bowl.

Comfort: The in-ear listeners from LG are comparable to Apple's AirPods: they are similarly small and light, have touch areas on the top and attach great importance to a smooth liquid handling.In a way, the DFP8 even corresponds to the AirPods Pro, because just like them, they have small silicone attachments in three different sizes, which ensure firm hold in the ear.This makes it much more acoustically sealed off from the environment after inserting than with Apple's "simple" AirPods without silicone passports.The buttons sit comfortably in the ear and do not press.Because of their low weight and the firm hold, you never have the feeling that they could fall out.A nice feature is the UV light cleaning of the plugs in the loading case.This does not make them clean - but according to the manufacturer, almost completely germ -free.

Operation: Setting up and pairing with your smartphone works very well.Activations of the touch areas on the top confirm the listeners with a short acoustic signal.This is particularly practical for functions for which you have to type several times.The occupancy of the buttons can be changed via a separate app.There you can also get the battery's state and can even search for the plugs if you don't find it.The loading case is pleasantly small and light, fits in every pocket.Very pleasant: Similar to Apple, the buttons notice thanks to built -in sensors, whether they are in the ear.As soon as you take it out, the playback automatically pauses and will continue when you use it again.

Sound: As you feel the sound, many headphones depend on whether noise canceling is activated or.How this is configured.With the Tone Free DFP8, the difference is particularly large: with activated noise suppression, they sound warm and full, on the other hand, the sound becomes thin and pale.For runners, however, the possibility of deactivation or switching to a surrounding mode ("hearing mode" or "conversation mode") is necessary for your own safety, because this is the only way.So you should always be prepared to change the mode early, for example before crossing a street.After all: a short touch (stop) is sufficient.In the app you can also choose between different equalizer presets for sound influence.

Battery life: According to the manufacturer, the small LG plugs offer an amazingly long term of up to ten hours.Even if that is not quite true, it is always enough and even for a marathon, especially since you get another 14 hours of mobile playing time with the small, handy case.The case can be cordless either via USB-C or via Qi cordless.And recharging is also fixed: after 10 to 15 minutes in the loading case you have juice for another run again.

Conclusion: If you want small, light in-ear listeners with a great service, with the "simple" AirPods (S.but not cope with above, because it is easy to get out of his ear, this model from LG should look at.

Urbanista Athens

According to the manufacturer, the headphones of Athens True Wireless of the Swedish manufacturer Urbanista are designed "for a life in motion" - apparently ideal for runners.Or?

The athens headphones are wireless and therefore save the cord salad and annoying draping the cables from the jacket pocket to the ears.The furnishings and the connection to the smartphone or MP3 player of choice by Bluetooth is made very light and quick.When wearing it for the first time, it costs a little patience and sensitivity to find the right seat for the headphones.After all, thanks to small silicone brackets, they actually nestle well on the ear cups and sit firmly, but not uncomfortable in their ears.When running, this impression is confirmed: “I never had the feeling that the headphones could slip out during the movement.Even with jumps or jerky head movements, nothing stimulates ".

When it comes to battery life, the Athens meet the product description.After almost exactly seven hours, the headphones complain for the first time.Overall, the battery lasts about eight hours.Also practical: In the supplied, handy charging box, the headphones can be loaded three times, so that there is a total battery life of about 32 hours before the charging box itself has to be connected to a USB cable.The box is a comfortable solution if there is no suitable connection within reach on the go.By the way: The Athens are waterproof and are therefore also suitable for swimming, bathing or showing.So there is no need to worry about runs in pouring rain.Another little extra: the cardboard contains a bag with a set of replacement particles for the rubber overseher, so that you can change them after frequent use.

The sound of the headphones is described on the website as "crystal clear".The impression of the test gives: a very high quality and clean sound that can still be heard well on the running route, especially when it comes to street noise.

The Urbanista Athens are a great option for everyone who are looking for a practical way to listen to music while running (or of course other activities).In the price-performance ratio, the headphones definitely make a difference, and above all the feeling of wearing and the uncomplicated operation convinced in the test.

Aftershokz Aeropex

Hersteller

Order here: Aftershokz Aeropex

The manufacturer Aftershoks relies on an unusual principle for Aeropex headphones: unlike with usual in-ear headphones, the ear canal remains completely free.Instead, the stirrups of the model end on the bone right in front of the entrance of the ear cups.The sound is to be forwarded to the hearing organs using a special bone line technology, so that listening to music is possible if the environment is percepted.Our test should show whether the concept actually works.

The headphones can initially be easily put into operation by the initial operation.Pairing required some tests for our tester, which can also be due to individual Bluetooth facilities.The tester also noted that the material quality of the headphones stood out: "Due to the continuous rubber, the headphones literally seem indestructible".Small drawback: the headphones are delivered with their own charging system and cannot be connected with a mini USB.

When running with the headphones, it turns out: The missing stop through the auricle is not an obstacle for aftershoks, because the headphones are still stuck and do not slip.You can hardly feel them even under the hat and glasses.The neck strap is also so thin and not very disturbing that the comfort of the wearing is particularly positive.Not even sweat does not restrict the headphones' seat.

The sound of the headphones was also able to convince our tester - at least for not sitting directly in the ear.“If you don't expect an excellent hi-fi sound, you will be very satisfied with the Aeropex.“According to the concept of the model, you can actually feel the bass on the bones in front of your ear.However, this is not uncomfortable.In addition, the great advantage of technology comes into play, especially for runs in road traffic: the sounds of the surrounding area remain present, which inevitably offers more security.

Overall, the Aeropex kophörers are a great and innovative option for runners whose running routes require attention in traffic.So if you accept slight compromises on sound, you will find great companions for runs in the city or in unusual situations with the Aeropex.The excellent wearing comfort also makes the headphones a great solution for listening to music when running.

Earfun Free Pro

Hersteller

Order here: Earfun Free Pro

The Earfun Free Per Headphones are delivered in a small, compact box and can be easily set up.The initial operation is intuitive, so that hardly a look at the enclosed instructions is necessary.The coupling with a Bluetooth device of the choice works surprisingly quickly.On the outside, the headphones look pleasantly unspectacular-like many others in EAR models, they are small and unobtrusive.

Small silicone brackets ensure the optimal seat of the free pros in the ear cup.Practical: a few spare bars are supplied, as well as the upturnable earplugs in different sizes.At the test round, our tester found that the headphones actually do not slip and do not disturb even under a narrow headband: "After a few hundred meters, you can forget that you are wearing headphones".The Earfun Pro are protected from sweat and splash, so that you can listen to music without worries even in rain or particularly sweaty units.

When it comes to sound quality, the Free ProS move in good mediocrity - no crystal -clear sound like from music boxes, but still a very decent quality, in which one should not forget that the Free ProS move in the cheaper price segment.Our tester also raised the various settings positively, which can be made directly on the headphones while running.Regulation of the volume, pre- and rewind or put on a break are easily possible by tapping on the headphones (at least if you have imprinted the different commands at some point).The Earfun Free ProS also offer the extra of active noise suppression, which is probably less relevant for runners.However, if you also use the headphones outside of the training sessions, you benefit from the attitude that should hide the external noise.

Overall, the Earfun Free ProS are a great model for runners who are looking for a powerful model without much frills.The headphones are well suited for running because they sit well and do not slip.Light compromises on the subject of sound are made up for by the cheaper price-the Earfun Pro are wonderfully unexcited, functional Bluetooth headphones.

Philips wireless sports headphones

Hersteller

Order here: Philips headphones

The manufacturer Philips presents a sports headphones with the wireless headphones from the Go Earbud's series that has a neck of the neck and should therefore sit particularly safe and pleasant.The first look in the box reveals: the headphones are handy and very light, despite the ironing.The ear brackets that sit around the auricle can be removed and replaced by shorter so -called wing tips.Philips recommends this for units with low training intensity.

Our tester initially started with the longer ear bricks, and these kept the headphones successfully on the spot while running.The neck bracket can be attached to the sports clothing with a clip, which should ensure additional hold.However, this only makes sense for clothes with a collar-a low sports shirt would only pull down the bracket."The headphones also sit if you don't use the clip and simply let the bracket lie on the neck," says the tip of our tester.She covered a second round with the shorter Wing tips - and they also keep the headphones in their ears.If you also complete strength units with jumps and more intensive movements outside of running.

The sound of the headphones is pleasant and clear, and it remains surprisingly pure and clear even when it gets a little louder in the area.The neck hanger also has a reflective Kevlar cable, so that the tape is always easy to see-for example, even if you have laid the headphones again.There are also small control elements directly on the headphones with which you can stop the playlist, regulate volume and even receive calls.

The Philips headphones are a sensible option, especially for runners who want to use the headphones outside of running.Due to the flexible use and the interchangeable brackets, the model is versatile and is suitable for many types of movement.But even those who are only looking for a cheap model with good sound will be convinced of the wireless Philips headphones.

Huawei Freebuds 3i

Cheaper and damn good sports headphones: Hardly any model comes to the performance of the Freebuds 3i from Huawei-especially at the price (119 euros) they are almost unrivaled.

Hersteller

The Huawei-Buds are not primarily aimed at athletes or even runners, but thanks to the excellent seat, the noise-canceling headphones are also a good choice when running.

Comfort: the in-ear headphones sit in the test in the test and are hardly felt."I didn't even have the feeling that I could lose my plugs," said a tester.Silicone attachments are supplied in four different sizes, so that different sizes of different sizes are well sealed.Speaking of sealed: rain or sweat cannot harm the headphones.

Operation: Pairing worked without any problems with all tested smartphones (Android and iOS) and computers.You won't find buttons with these true wireless headphones.Instead, each earphone in the upper housing area has a rudimentary touch control: the two gestures double -click (by default with play/break) and hold (noise canceling on/off) can be adapted with the Huawei Ai Life app, which are only available for Android.Incidentally, the headphones also work individually, so that an ear can remain free if you want to get more of the environment while running or cycling.

Battery life: When it comes to runtime, the Huawei Freebuds 3i weaken a little.When NOISE CANELLING is recommended, which is recommended for sports, you can get around 3.5 hours with the charged headphones.The loading case is said to offer four other charging cycles, so that around 14 hours of music enjoyment are possible in the end.You can view the charging stand using the Android app mentioned above for each earphone and the loading case.In iOS there is also an advertisement on the remaining battery capacity in the upper status bar.TOP: The loading of the case and the headphones is very quick by means of the supplied USB-C cable (almost 1 hour).

Sound: The Huawei Freebuds 3i sound well over the entire range, so that nothing stands in the way of music, radio play or podcast enjoyment when jogging."Perhaps they are missing something in depth," a tester crashes.The NOISE Cancelling works amazingly well for in-ear headphones.For this purpose, two outward microphones are responsible for recognizing the disturbing noises and reducing up to 32 decibels according to the data sheet.In practice, this works reliably in most situations.Conversations and sonorous noises such as in road traffic or the train are suppressed cleanly.It can only be advisable to switch off Noise Cancelling in strong winds and to trust the passive sealing of the silicone attachments.

Conclusion: Even if the battery life is rather mediocre, sound, workmanship, comfort and noise canceling can convince.The Huawei Freebuds 3i are an absolute price-performance tip and a good choice for athletes!There is a significantly longer battery life at the sister model Huawei Freebuds Pro.

Teufel Airy Sports

Hersteller

Order here: Teufel Airy Sports TWS

We have already tested the predecessor of the Teufel Airy Sports TWS.Click here for the detailed test.We explain what the current model can do:

The Airy Sport product series has already shone with very good sound in the last headphone test.The latest version of Teufel is the Air Sports TWS: The in-ear headphone now has a hold that sits above and behind the ear and prevents the in-ear part from falling out.The two ear parts are larger due to the brackets - accordingly the loading part.The battery life is up to seven hours - enough for long runs.And back in the charging case, the earphones are recharged (which takes some time), the service life is expanded for over 30 hours before the loading case has to be recharged at the USB connection (which takes some time), three LED lamps show coloredthe state of charge.

At the beginning of the Teufel Airy Sports (16 g per listener) it takes a bit fiddly and get used to it (4 ear tips made of antibacterial silicone to choose from) - but it is worth it: in everyday life, the brackets sit safely over the ear and offer oneAlmost without alternative, safe solution for runners, who otherwise all in-ear plugs will fall out of their ears.Because even with longer runs or if you sweat a lot, this does not affect the seat.Only glasses wearers have to be accepted that the glasses hangers lie on the earphone iron: that doesn't bother as long as the glasses brackets do not open and muffle.

Acoustically, the Airy Sports can keep up in the upper third of the high-quality in-ear headphones.Sound-spoiled hi-fi fans, who may even know the high sound quality of other devil speakers, have to make compromises-the in-ear version cannot keep up with the low pitches and warm basses. Und auch im Vergleich mit den Soundstarken M&W-In-Ears halten die Bässe der Airy Sports-Hörer nicht mit.However, the Airy Sports differentiate well and can be heard very well even at low to medium volume.With very high to maximum volume you will be a little tough.

As always, the operation on the ear takes some getting used to, simple and multiple types of taps do different control functions - that works overall and after some acclimatization but good.

Bose Sport

Acoustic specialist Bose has developed small headphones especially for sport with the Sport Earbuds (199 euros)-in Runner’s Wolrd practical test they are doing excellently.

Hersteller

Order here: Bose Sport

The first choice for everyone who does not want to compromise on the sound.Compared to the popular Bose Soundsport Free, the sport is noticeably smaller and lighter.

Comfort: For inserting, the true wireless listeners are turned into the ear, with a quarter rotation a small, soft fins clamped in the ear.The insertion of the Earbud is very easy after a few applications: adapter in different sizes are included, whereby the ear insert has a very soft coat of silicone and adapts well into the ear and the ear seals: the "StayHear" ear inserts form an airtightCompletion in the ear canal.The two earphones only weigh 14 grams, which is why they are also in the ear safely.

Operation: Touch fields for controlling the music titles, the volume (wiping upwards or below) and calls are also accepted on the Earbuds (double tapping).The operation via the touchfield is sometimes a bit prone to errors, but after a little practice you have it out.The touch sensor on the left Earbud can also be covered with an individually selectable shortcut function.This is controlled via the Bose Music app via smartphone.

Akculaufzeit: The batteries last around five hours at a time.This is a good value, is always enough for running.When you put it into the charging bowl, it loads the headphones up to three times before the battery of the box has to be loaded again for almost an hour via USB-C-this creates a sufficiently large range of applications.Especially since it was very positive in the test that the battery of the charging cradle has hardly discharged even if not used for a long time.Five small LEDs on the charging shell show the state of charge;In addition, the battery status of the Earbuds is reported acoustically.

Sound: Bose has achieved a new level here: There are no other strength, bass depth and emotions in headphones of this kind."The sound is so good that you can actually speak of listening pleasure-even when running," said a Runner’s World tester.The only downside: The Earbuds are-like many true wireless headphones-quite wind-susceptible.

Sony WF-1000XM4

Hersteller

Order here: Sony WF-1000XM4

With a powerful sound, extra long battery life and a sophisticated active noise suppression, Sony tries to withdraw his top model WF-1000XM4 from the competition.The listeners are crammed with technology and do a lot, but do not wear completely carefree because they are a bit thick and heavy.

Comfort: Compared to the previous model XM3, Sony reduced the dimensions of the in-ear buttons and, above all, the charging cradle.The new velvet matt plastic case is now suitable for pockets, but the listeners themselves are a bit chubby, press a bit in the ear and protrude significantly from it.That is why and because of its relatively high weight and volume, the seat feels less safe than it actually is.

Operation: On the outside of the buttons there is a touch control panel, which can be controlled quickly and conveniently through music playback, noise suppression and volume.The catch: each of the two buttons can only be assigned one of these three functions, the third is left out.So at least until the next start of the app you have to decide which control option you can do without when running.As is common today, the operating instructions in the app help if you can no longer remember the key assignment.In addition, the sound can be adjusted via equalizer and the optimal seat of the plugs can be checked in the ear.An optional so-called "Speak to Chat" function stops playback as soon as you talk to someone and start it automatically after the entertainment ends.The cell phone and some headphone functions can be controlled via “OK Google” or Alexa by voice command.Really practical: As soon as you take the plugs out of your ear, the playback automatically switches on a break, if you insert it again, it continues seamlessly.Wireless charging according to Qi standard is possible.

Sound: The sound of the WF-1000XM4 is particularly full and powerful with activated noise canceling.Spatiality and precision are not quite as its strength, but overall the sound is warm, pleasantly round and balanced - not too bass -heavy and never shrill.Striking: As soon as you turned your buttons into the ear, complete calm, because with your soft rubber earplugs, you scrap up a completely from the outside world.In this regard, the WF-1000XM4 represent the exact counterpart to the popular AirPods from Apple (see above).Nevertheless, the WF-1000XM4 is not a headphone "closed" construction.Small openings in the housing ensure pressure compensation.Important: In the small print, Sony points out that the splash water protection according to IPX4 does not apply to the micros and these openings (and also not for the loading case!).So you shouldn't wear the listeners in pouring rain.For a manufacturer like Sony, this is actually a certificate of poverty and a significant restriction for running suitability.

Noise canceling: The NOISE Cancelling is very effective.In the "Ambient Sound" mode, the headphones captured ambient noises and ensures that despite listening to music you can see what happens around you.In addition, it can be set in the app that voices are recognized and "left out" or reduction in noise or.should be let through.However, this function diminishes the sound and also enhances noise, such as keyboard clackers.The WF-1000XM4 with wind is all the better: In contrast to many other models with Active NOISE CANCELING, a separate function in the associated app automatically and reliably annoyed wind noise reduces annoying wind noise on WF-1000XM4.

ACCURACTION: Record: Up to twelve hours of music playback, the small buds get from their integrated batteries, the charging shell ensures a tripling of the mobile term to 36 hours.This is currently the top value in the true wireless area.Great: With only 5 minutes you can get a decent 60 minutes of play time.

Conclusion: rich sound, very good, flexible noise canceling, great workmanship, top equipment.However, the price is also juicy, and the wearing comfort will not be liked.Try it out before buying!

Protection class: IPX4 (splash -proof) battery life: up to 8 hours with ANC or.12 hours without ANC, plus 16 or.24 hours by reloading in the charging bowl (together 24 or.36 hours) Weight: listener 7.3 grams, charging bowl 41 Gfarben: black, silver (egg.rather beige gray) RRP: € 279.00

These small true wireless headphones are very well equipped for their price range.IPX7 waterproof makes you insensitive to water, which a high-quality audio driver ensures bass-heavy sound (hence the name on the pack "Mini buds epic bass")).

Comfort: the Spirit Dot 2 are strikingly small and flat. Eine gute Alternative zu den voluminösen Modellen von Bose oder B&O, die gerne ein gutes Stück aus dem Ohr herausschauen, oder zum haken-förmigen Design von Apple oder Huawei.The headphones are almost deep in the ear canal - and thus holds bomb solid.Spring, sprinting, shaking my head: no problem.Five different ear attachments and three earwings are included.

Operation: The standard functions can be carried out by simple touch operation on both headphones.Start and stop music, jump to the next title, accept calls and switch on voice control are possible.Good: the headphones only react with double tapping.This prevents accidental operation.

Battery life: Where is the catch with such a good and at the same time inexpensive headphones?Here it is in the battery life.Soundcore promises five hours, in practice it is more three to four.So before really long runs you have to make sure that the headphones are completely loaded.After all: 10 minutes in the case bring an additional hour of play time.

Sound: The little buttons sound pretty big.The promised bass is full and clean even at high volume, the sound performs well.In his price segment he is at the forefront.

Conclusion: A strong overall package with weaknesses in the battery life.For runners who are looking for a cheap True Wireless headphone who sits safely and sounds good, there is a clear purchase recommendation.

Saling sound at a rich price: high-quality in-ear headphones for the highest demands on the sound quality.

Hier bestellen: Bang & Olufsen E8 Sport

Der dänische Hersteller Bang & Olufsen ist seit Jahrzehnten bekannt für hochwertige Unterhaltungselektronik (besonders Fernseher und HiFi-Geräte) in exquisitem „skandinavischen“ Design.Tiny in-ear headphones naturally offer little space to stand out from the competition in this regard.All the more, the inner values have to convince. Um das zu erreichen, haben die Entwickler und Gestalter von B&O viel Mühe auf Details verwendet:Die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig, die Bedienung durchdacht, die Verpackung und die zugehörige App sind schön gestaltet.The whole presentation conveys solidness.But actually the listeners also convince in the practical test.

Comfort: The slightly thick and heavy buttons sit firmly and securely in the ear.Various silicone rings and "murls" are included to individually adjust the fit.But the buds are a bit in the ear - and because of their relatively high weight, at least at the beginning they feel that they could slip out at some point.They don't do that, but the seat does not feel as natural as with some lighter models.It's not so easy to forget that you have headphones in your ear.Good: to clean you can easily rinse them under running water.

Operation: The flat outside of the buttons are touch control areas.Music reproduction and acceptance of conversation can be conveniently controlled by this.Pleasant: the control is not overloaded with too many functions, so that you don't have to constantly check in the instructions or the app on which page how often you have to tap.The operation is well thought out, efficient and simple. Die zugehörige B&O-App braucht man nicht unbedingt zur täglichen Nutzung, zur Anpassung des Klangs und anderer Voreinstellungen ist sie aber hilfreich.

Akccaufzeit: up to seven hours of music playback with a battery charge.That is first class.With night refueling in the small, but somewhat heavy (because "valuable" processed) charging chatum, the term can be extended to 30 hours - a peak value.

Sound: "The sound is very nice and present, but not bass -heavy," said a tester."Full, full and strong, but yet precisely," said another.The sound works naturally and, of course, never strained or oversteer.One has the feeling that the listeners have enough reserves so that they do not reach their limits so quickly despite their small size.Thanks to the good seat or.The silicone rings is almost completely hidden the environment.Very good: so that ambient noises can still be perceived, there is a four-stage variable Hear-through function called "Transparency".

Conclusion: If you are looking for the highest sound quality and can afford it, you really get first -class.However, there are competitive models with a better price-performance ratio.

Hersteller

Order here: Philips Tast702BK/00

With the very small in-ear listeners it is the little things that make the difference.And in the small things the Philips headphones from the Sports 7000 series are very big!

Comfort: The listeners sat almost perfectly in the auricle, the insert and anchoring of the little fin that keeps the listeners in the ear works very easily.And the listeners didn't even fall out of the ear during the test duration.This happened to other earphones.

Operation: The operation via the earphones takes some getting used to."You have to tap or beat the touch fields quite strongly," it is in the test report.This can be somewhat disturbing, especially when accepting the phone.In addition, only music titles can be started or stopped or calling calls and calling voice control - the volume cannot be regulated.

Battery life: The storage box is relatively large compared to other in-ear headphones, which initially appears as a disadvantage.In the test course, however, the resulting battery capacity proved to be a real advantage.The battery loads quickly, lasts for a long time - and above all it hardly discharges himself.Even after a long non-use, the headphones are ready for use;This is with many other small in-ears that do not recharge in the storage box.Especially: after inserting into the loading case, the headphones are cleaned by bacteria using UV light.

Sound: A balanced sound spectrum is even at a quiet, lower volume-quite impressive for in-ear listeners. Aber beim Laufen wählen die meisten Läufer recht hohe Lautstärke, und auch da sind sie überzeugend: „Beim direkten Hörvergleich vom B&O mit dem Philips In-Ear-Kopfhörer hat der Philips einen satteren runderen Klang; und auf jeden Fall einen besseren Bass, dazu mehr Raum.Also there it benefits from the better seat.And the Philips is easier to put in the ear and then sits better, ”says a test runner who was able to compare different in-ear headphones when running.

Conclusion: Overall, a really strong test impression of the Philips Sports 7000 Series in EAR headphones: Under the previously tested True Wireless-in-Ear Headphones you have delivered one of the best test results from Runner’s World testers.

Commercial comfort endurance peak is somewhat more voluminous than other True-Wireless models.This is due to its elongated shape and the flexible silicone ear bracket.Nevertheless, he is in the ear easily and safely - express praise of our testers.

Operation: Its peculiarity is handling.This works rather atypical for true wireless models using a contact control.With pressure and wiping movements, one song can be navigated to the next, start/stop and the volume can be set.

Battery life: With one battery charge, the Endurance Peak runs for 4 hours.This is rather weak in comparison.After all: the loading case brings an additional 24 hours of energy reserve.

Sound: "The sound is a bit flat," says a tester, "the listener is more suitable for audio books than for fat beats.“The sound suffers in strong winds.

Conclusion: A budget model in which we are particularly convincing and operating.For the low price, you have to put back compromises for battery life and sound.

3 questions that you should ask yourself before buying a headphone

The range of headphones for athletes is overwhelming.You can find the right model for yourself by analyzing your needs before buying.These questions help you:

1. Welches Abspielgerät nutzen Sie?

Which headphones can be considered for you first depends on which device you want to connect the headphones while running.With smartphones you have the free selection.Wireless models are now almost standard due to their great freedom of movement.However, if you want to do without your smartphone while running and use an MP3 player without Bluetooth, for example, you have to use wired headphones.

If you use a sports watch with integrated music memory, you can listen to it via Bluetooth headphones and leave an additional device at home.It is only easier with headphones with an integrated MP3 player (z.B.the JBL endurance dive).

2. Welche Bauweise passt zu Ihnen?

In addition to the different transmission methods (via Bluetooth or wired), the construction methods of the headphones also differ.Roughly, they can be divided into four groups:

Sports headphone types at a glance

Typ	Vorteile	Nachteile
Kabelgebundene In-Ears	+ Kein Akkuladen+ Preiswert	- Kabel kann stören- Sound ist störanfällig
Wireless (mit Verbindungskabel im Nacken)	+ Längere Akkulaufzeit+ Preiswerter als True-Wireless-Modele	- Verbindungskabel kann beim Laufen wippen
True Wireless	+ Größtmögliche Bewegungsfreiheit	- Meist hoher Preis - Kürzere Akkulaufzeit
Bügelkopfhörer (On-Ears)	+ Gute Soundqualität	- Empfindlich für Feuchtigkeit - Hohes Gewicht

There are also other variations, such as in-ear headphones with an ear bracket that is clamped over the auricle.Bone noise headphones are also quite new on the market (Z.B.from aftershokz) that do not transmit the sound over the ear, but over the cheekbone.

3. Welche zusätzlichen Bedürfnisse haben Sie?

Many headphones have additional functions that can be a real enrichment - if you need them.It is therefore worth considering which features offer added value for you before buying.

Buying advice: Which headphones are suitable for runners and joggers?

Sports headphones differ in their transmission method (Bluetooth or cable connection) and their construction (Earbud, in-ear, on-ear).Which is the right one for you depends on your sporting ambitions and personal preferences.These are the advantages of the individual types:

Kabelverbindung oder Bluetooth-Kopfhörer?

Ohrphones with cable connections have the great advantage that you don't have to worry about the battery shop.The plug is plugged in at the player and it can start at any time.Disadvantage: the cables tend to get tangled in the clothes or to tear the plug out of the ear in quick arm movements.In addition, noise quickly occurs when the cable rubs on the running clothing.However, cable headphones are usually cheaper than Bluetooth models.

Bluetooth headphones transmit the music without cable.For this, however, you need a battery that must be charged at the start of the run.That takes about two hours, but there are four to ten hours of listening pleasure.The great advantage of technology is the freedom of movement gained.In addition, most models with a practical headset function await the volume, title selection and even calls directly on the headphones.If you like to make fitness besides running, you should pay attention to a sufficiently large range so that the cell phone can stay on your side during the exercises.

Was sind die besten Sport-Kopfhörer?

Airpods, in-ears, over ears?There are many different types of sports headphones.But which ones are the best?

Earpods, die simplen Kopfhörer für Laufeinsteiger

The conventional button headphones in sports format are usually coated with a non-slip rubber to minimize the risk of falling out.Your advantage: you do not completely close the ears, noise is still perceptible through road traffic.

In-Ear-Kopfhörer sind der Sport-Klassiker

A silicone plug protrudes into the ear canal at in-ear headphones.This leads to a better hold and a stronger damping of the ambient noise.In-ears have therefore been used as sports headphones for a long time and are often only a little more expensive than EarPods.

Higher -priced models, such as the very well tested Monster ISPORT Victory, often have specially shaped attachments that reinforce the hold on the ear.In-ear headphones should be delivered with interchangeable attachments in different sizes, such as the great sounding test winner of the Stiftung Warentest, the Bose Soundsport Wirelesstut.

Ohrbügel-Kopfhörer überstehen auch das Tempotraining

Earpods and in-ear headphones are often supplemented with a large, curved bracket that is clamped behind the ear.The plugs are protected from falling out like an anchor.This is particularly useful for speed training, but also with alternative sports such as climbing or crossfit.Disadvantage: The ear iron headphones are a bit heavier (13 to 25 grams) and do not have a fit guarantee.

True-Wireless-Kopfhörer bringen federleichtes Tragegefühl

Small earplugs without a connecting cable between the right and left button are called True-Wireless headphones or earbuds.Runners who are very sensitive to disturbing running influences benefit from this.This construction also goes hand in hand with the risk of losing one of the little buttons.Many manufacturers meet this with a practical location function.

On-Ear-Kopfhörer für Gelegenheitsjogger

Oll headphones connected to an iron are rather atypical in the sports area.Nevertheless, there are some models with breathable temples and flexibly adjustable mussels.The striking companions for casual joggers who want to set a fashionable statement on a quiet round in the park are to be recommended.They are also an alternative for very audiophile runners, because their large membrane have on-ears a much better sound than earplugs.

Welche Extras lohnen sich für Läufer?

Many sports headphones are true technology miracles and can measure the pulse, filter out ambient noise or let the music sound over a headband.Which extras are worth it for whom?

Sportkopfhörer mit integrierter Pulsmessung

If you want to do without the clock and chest strap, you can also have your values determined by the headphones by ear pulse.These will then be visible either after training on the app or while running by voice announcement.Such high-end headphones, z.B.The Jabra Elite Sport or the JBL Under Armor are exciting gadgets for technology fans.

Noise Cancelling: Ja oder nein?

It is an individual decision whether you want to perceive the ambient noise in addition to your music or not.In city traffic, the so -called noise canceling can be a security risk, it can be a blessing on a lonely route.Some manufacturers therefore offer a practical switchover function.

Kopfhörer im Kopfband

If you don't like the feeling of headphones while running, but still want to listen to music, you can use a headband headphones (z.B.Runphones Classic Nofollow).The playful technique is in a thin, washable fabric tape and can therefore not fall out or the ear can be unpleasant.With the sound quality, however, cuts must be made.

Conclusion: The individual seat is crucial

The ergonomic qualities of headphones are particularly crucial for runners.So pay attention to a safe, pressure -free fit and a light handling.In addition, the headphones should be robust and (with wireless models) have sufficient battery power.Whether EarPods, in-ears or on-ears, bluetooth or wired, depends on your training habits and individual preferences.In any case, you should try on the headphones before buying and test your seat in motion.
