No-one likes fiddling around with headphones while they exercise. Here are some that will stay firmly in place

Skullcandy Lowrider - £34.99
These lightweight sporty headphones with a funky colour scheme make your tunes sound great. Their main selling point is a convenient fold-up headband that allows them to fit neatly in your gym bag.

 
Nike Vapor Sport - £19.99
The sound quality on these lightweight Philips-made Nike phones is fantastic and we like the sporty look. They’re adjustable in three ways and they’re sweat-resistant, so the quality won’t flag even if you do.

 
Sony MDR-NC22 - £69.99
The control unit that activates the noise-cancellation process delivers superb sound quality and blocks out 75 per cent of noise, which more than justifies the price. And they fit like a glove.

 
Shure SE110 - £69.99
These are really comfortable and have sleeves that serve as an effective sound block for outside noise. This makes them ideal for blocking out annoying gym chitchat, although it may mean they’re too dangerous for running on the road.

 
         
Bang & Olufsen A8 - bang-olufsen.co.uk
These are designed to adjust to the contours of your ear, but we found they didn’t fit too well. They aren’t sound isolating but that’s OK for road running, when you need to hear what’s going on around you.

 
Etymotic Research ety8
Launched as the first wireless Bluetooth in-ear earphones, the ety8s will help you avoid getting tangled up in leads while lifting weights. They’re more comfortable than they look and the sound is decent.
