Why open-ear sports headphones?
In this digital age, where most of us spent long hours hunched over our phones or laptops, keeping fit is something essential in our daily lives. However, workouts tend to ring hollow without some good music to accompany you - it's all too easy to give up in the middle of a set if you only have the sound of your laboured breathing and the ache of your muscles to keep you company. Hence, the importance of a good pair of sports headphones cannot be understated.
