If you’re like us and are using 2023 to kick those fitness goals, make your trip to the gym that little bit more enjoyable with a pair of headphones so you can jam out while you work out!

Nothing makes your workout better than blasting your favourite pump up tracks or indulging in the latest podcast or audiobook while you hit the treadmill – and finding the perfect gym headphones can make that even more enjoyable.

Whether you prefer on-ear or in-ear there are countless affordable and splurge-worthy options to choose from. It is helpful to keep an eye out for what you require and the way you workout in order to pick the best one. The freedom of Bluetooth prevents ending up in a tangled mess come the end of your work out, or sweat-proof over-ear options that cut out sound and stay on even through the toughest of exercises.
