Also, there seems to be no reason for them, you can have your smartphone close nearby, and it still happens. If there are two things the design boils down to, it’s durability and versatility. These are tough and reliable, but also cleverly designed to suit the gym just as well as the commute. The headband latch even means these will work well for running – something that can be said for very few over-ears. Sound and performance: Personal best With super stable fit you can use them for all sports, and if you want to listen to music casually, the slightly bassy yet distortion-free sound will make you happy. The other useful things in the app are the user guides. If you’re unfamiliar with the headset or forgot how to use certain function, the guides are there to help you.

At medium volume, which is more than enough, there’s little distortion or serious flaws. Even if you increase it to ¾, it’s really good. But isolation aside, what’s arguably more important is how well the headphones fit. Who cares how good they sound if they keep falling off your head? You’ll want a pair of headphones that find a nice balance between clamping force and comfort, so they won’t fall off during a workout and they also won’t hurt your ears while you wear them.

The headphones come with a neoprene smartphone armband which, when reversed, doubles as a storage pouch for the headphones. While this is a useful inclusion, there’s no way to see or operate your smartphone’s touchscreen when it’s in the armband. Electronic music in higher pitches, like CHVRCHES, did sound a little muddy, and Haim’s fast snare drums sounded tinny. Still, Kacey Musgraves’ high, pure singing in “Oh, What a World” was still ethereal. And the sound was big enough, with a big enough bass presence, that I found myself dancing to Weezer while walking my dogs.
