I found that the in-ear bud would squirm out of my ear a little, especially when running, but the hook kept the SportBuds in place. Aimed at the sports minded these have all the features you would expect to find from a pair of true wireless earbuds with IPX4 rating these can be used in the gym and with the ear hooks they will not budge even for the more intensive workouts or jogging. They aren’t fitted with wing tips or seem that ergonomic, but they also shouldn’t fall out unless you’re attempting rigorous exercise – in which case you may want some running headphones like the Under Armor True Wireless Flash instead. I used these while training with the Couch to 5k app, and happily found them to stay safely in my ears throughout my runs.

The LED neckband has an off position, solid glow, slow flash and fast flash settings so you can ring the changes as you exercise and keep yourself safe when you're out and about. The sound was a little distorted at high volumes and the bass was a bit fuzzy too, but there was decent separation between instruments and vocals, and the bass was pretty powerful. If I can be honest, which is my only default setting, I didn’t have high hopes when the package for the Groove E-Buds arrived on my desk here at TRAIN Magazine.

However, the hook does accomplish its main job, which is to ensure the headphones don’t fall out of your ears when exercising.When you pump up the volume on tracks with dense instrumentation the sound grated a little, but in general my expectations were surpassed. You can certainly hear podcasts or radio stations relatively clearly, and for general pop and rock you’ll be able to follow the tune and make out lyrics perfectly well – even if it’s not of the highest quality.

They’re water and sweat-resistant and their astonishing 28-hour battery life claim could see you through the longest endurance sports. As a relatively cheap pair of true wireless earbuds, the SoundBuds connect to your source device through the right earbud, with the left and right earbuds then connecting to each other.They can struggle especially with higher notes, though: listening to something like the heart-wrenching solo in Burn (Hamilton Soundtrack) will grate on the ears, with a scratchy sound that can’t quite keep the higher notes together – there’s a lot of sibilance wringing out the s’s for all they’re worth. Nick is an avid runner, covering 70-110km a week, which gives him ample opportunity to test a wide range of running shoes and running gear. If untethered audio is your priority, it may be worth it, but keep in mind you’re not getting the audio quality you would for wired earphones for the same cost. We made our durability test for wireless headphones more rigorous from May 2018, so the star ratings for wireless headphones from then onwards aren't comparable to wireless headphones tested before.

Finally, and not to forget one very important factor, I have not experienced a single loss of battery power thanks to this hardy case packing plenty of recharge value as it juices up the headphones in transit. The clever charging case also features a 1800mAh power bank for you to charge other mobile devices, as well as charging your earphones.Review By: CGR Cooke, ANutr nutritionist, certified personal trainer, boxing coach, and trail runner with many years working in all sectors of the health, nutrition and fitness industry. The soft ear pads are sweat-resistant to help you stay fresh when the going gets tough and give a clear crisp sound with powerful bass. The true wireless features of these headphones completely negate this issue and being true wireless (that is, without a wire connecting the two buds) this makes the irritating head shuffle on the bench to try and shift that darn wire into a comfortable position on your neck a thing of the past!
