Many athletes have issues with regular headphones when they try to listen to music while working out. The basic buds that come with iPods or MP3 players are usually better suited for relaxed listening. Athletes run, jump, and sweat which often equates to headphones/earbuds falling out or not providing a clear listening experience. SOUL Electronics believes they have come up with the perfect solution to the headphone headache, Run Free - Usain Bolt Limited Edition headphones. They teamed up with Usain Bolt to develop headphones that stay in place and resist sweat while providing a clear listening experience.
In a press release, the headphones were described as follows:
“The sleek design of the Run-Free features comfortable and flexible ear hooks that can be customized to fit all ear shapes and sizes, which eliminates the hassle of earbuds falling out during movement and strenuous activity. It can be customized to accommodate those who prefer the ear-hook clips for extra durability when exercising, or can be worn without them for a lightweight feel.
The Run-Free also features a straight wire cable with inline remote which allows for total control over music playback and smartphone functions. Its sweat-resistant design ensures the Apple Controller and in-ear technology will never be adversely affected by moisture or sweat.”
The headphones come in black or black/green varieties which were chosen ‘in tribute’ to Bolt’s home country Jamaica. No doubt the design is sleek and the spokesperson famous, but it will be interesting if those factors will persuade customers to put down $169.95 per pair.
