As I've moved more training time into the gym, I've found that you need a good pair of headphones to help you get through painful, muscle burning exercises. I was using some off brand headphones that wrapped around your ear, and they worked alright, but they kept hurting because they were in my ear too long and pulled on my earlobe. So, recently, my friends over at Yurbuds sent me a model of their headphones that would save me all of my problems: The Inspire Duo. This pair of headphones is amazing, to say the least. They don't tangle, because the wires are wrapped in cloth, and they have Yurbud's Twistlock technology to ensure that they never fall out. The headphones, made of silicone, are very comfortable and don't hurt your ears, and they are designed to be worn in any conditions, and so sweat and rain don't affect their sound or performance. They're a great headphone, and they've already made a lot of my workouts a lot more bearable, getting me through hard sets and helping me push through the pain. And they don't lie either-I was exercising on a shoulder press and my phone, which I was using to listen to music, was on my lap and I forgot about it. I stood up, and my phone fell off my lap and towards the ground-but it never hit the ground! My Yurbuds were in my ears and they don't fall out-period. It took the full weight of my phone falling towards the floor and caught it and stayed put in my ears-pretty crazy. They are great headphones and I recommend you go out and try them sometime!
In fact, I'm going to do a giveaway of two pairs of Yurbuds-the original Inspire-one for men and one for women. These both have a retail of $29.99 and are a fantastic pair of headphones! The Inspire headphones have Twistlock technology, allow ambient sound in, are made from that soft silicone, are sweat and water resistant, and have amazing sound quality!
