Wireless headphones will change your running life.  I was using normal headphones for a few months and then got the new Freedom Bluetooth Headphones from Jaybird and I’m hooked.

“The smallest wireless buds ever with insanely big sound in a stunning patented secure-fit sweat-proof, ultra-comfort metal design.”  These have incredible sound, stay in place perfectly (even during speed/tempo runs) and NO MORE CORDS getting tangled while I run.

I really want to try wireless but am always shocked by the sticker price. As for telling you anything thing? Hmm. I wish my cough would go away so I can run again . Do you follow the “rule” of not running when you are sick below the neck?

I lost my wireless headphones a few months ago and would love a new pair! I hate the cords while running but love watching youtube videos when I do sprints on the treadmill

Reply

I just started reading your blog and wish I could want to dedicate myself to running as often as you do and still enjoy it!!! I’ve decided to take a few weeks off to heal an injury and see if returning to running is enjoyable again for me. I grew up running cross country in as mall township where I didn’t want to hear music as much as I wanted to count my breaths in my head and listen for traffic behind me as I ran the streets. All that to say, I’ve only ran with music and headphones about 3 times in my 17+ yrs of running, and when I did, it was with the dratted corded earbuds where the cords always rode up to choke me..it was so annoying!!! I’ve looked into cordless , wireless earbuds and have wondered if they really work very well with the jostling of running …and is the wireless connection really that good?

Reply

Wish I could run today but I’m just not up for forcing myself to run in 105 degrees :( tomorrow will have to to do!

Reply

My three year old little lady ran her first kids race this weekend and had a blast! She told everyone she met that day what she did. And I met my goal at the corresponding 5k race. So it was a great weekend for running.

I ran 8 miles this morning by the beach before the humidity really set in! It felt so nice before being cooped up inside at work all day! I would love a new pair of headphones for my long runs! Keep me entertained!

I was denied admission to MIT. I hope that by working out and being active, my discipline–and therefore my mind– will become even stronger. These headphones will aid in the process of becoming more fit… A process that may very well help me transfer into the school next year!

I’m happy to be finally be getting back into shape after back to back pregnancies. I’ve finally lost enough weight that my knees don’t hurt (often) when I run, and now that it’s 90 degrees out by 7:30 am, some seriously sweat proof headphones would be amazing!
I think I run just to prove I can…I don’t super enjoy marathons or Ironmen, but I love the feeling of accomplishment when I cross the finish line. Makes me feel like a total bada$$ :P

Reply

I’ve been on the search for new headphones for forever! None of the headphones I’ve tried actually stay in my ears. Plus, I’ve got headphone cord knots for days. Would love to try these!

Reply

I love reading your blog, Janae! And I didn’t read through all the comments, but please tell me I’m not the only one whose hand has accidentally clipped my headphone cord only to have the headphones and my phone dive to the ground, or worse, onto the treadmill belt while I frantically try to turn it off without destroying my phone. Probably just me. :)

Reply

I ‘ve always run (slowly) and I swear I spend the first mile if every run messing with my headphones so I really want some blue tooth headphones!
Unrelated to running, I’d really like a job. I’ve been staying st home for 5 years and I’m ready to go back!

I use headphones all the time and would really love to try some good wireless ones! :-)

Just had an 80 calorie Artic Blast salted Carmel faux ice cream bar. Satisfying!

I run because I can! Sometimes health issues mean I have to take some time off, so that makes the days I can run even sweeter. And I always feel like I get to see a secret quiet side of the city running in the early morning, that most other people don’t ever experience.

Kerri Walsh and you wearing these…they got to be awesome!

I mostly run just because I can! And I’m always searching for the groove you sometimes hit where everything just falls into place and moving forwards just feels like the most natural thing in the world to be doing right there and then; no thinking necessary. ☺️

Reply
