And in true fashion, this deceptively small piece of kit does it all. However, the MP3 style feels fitting, and was a nice throwback to our Sony walkman days of old. Unfortunately, there’s no option for Bluetooth connectivity. The wraparound headband design also makes these as easy to operate as the on-ear options we tried, meaning we weren’t getting tangled in wires. Two types of earbuds, in a variety of sizes, come as standard, so you can wear these while running or cycling, then switch to the swimming buds for the pool. Though we tried several in-ear headphones, this set from Sony were the only ones that actually impressed. Accessories: Earbuds, waterproof earbuds, charger.Charging time: 1.5 hours for full charge, 3 minutes for 1 hour of use.This set also comes with a large leather case, ear plugs (which you can attach to the headphones for extra security) and a long magnetic charging cable. Of course, the bonus here is that when turned down the vibrating ceased and the music was still crystal clear. We’re placing particular emphasis on that loudness, however, as we found when turned up they did have a tendency to vibrate, which was a bit uncomfortable. There’s room for over 3,000 songs and playback was extremely clear and loud. While the Bluetooth mode was certainly good quality it was the MP3 mode that really made a splash. Like the Naenka headphones, these offered both modes for music. Of all the headsets we tried from Jukes, these were by far the most versatile for lane swimmers. Jukes was an unknown brand to us, but as you can see from the number of headphones we’ve included in this round-up, it certainly made an impression. Accessories: Silicone ear-plugs and case, charger, leather drawstring case.Otherwise, these were, without question, our favourite headphones. And also be sure to only download the correct file formats (MP3, WMA and WAV are all accepted). Be sure when downloading music to not move the headset as this can cause the sync to stop. Our only tiny niggle is that the charging cable is delicate. We could even activate siri if we needed. Plus, switching between BT or MP3 mode, adjusting the volume, and changing tracks was a breeze as there are minimal buttons to use. We had no fear about them flying off while doing front crawl. Charging took just two hours and we got almost three weeks’ worth of play out of them (enough for nearly nine, 30-minute swimming sessions).Īs these are quite lightweight, we had to keep them in place with our goggles, but this was easy enough to do and was still comfortable.
The Naenka runner pros were extremely easy to set up – simply connect through Bluetooth to your phone, or plug into your laptop to download music. Of all the headsets we tested, this on-ear set were the pair we reached for most.
