What Are The Best Workout Headphones For The Gym?

11:01 0


 If you go the gym regularly, chances are you’ve broken a fair few pair of headphones. So what are the best headphones for the gym? 

If you go the gym regularly, chances are you’ve broken a fair few pair of headphones.

I’ve killed multiple pairs in my time, either by drowning them in sweat until they gave up and died or by ripping one of the wires out of the actual earphone during an ill-fated rep.

There are many ways to ruin a good pair of headphones in the gym, which is why you SHOULDN’T wear good headphones to the gym. This lesson sounds simple enough, but it took me an AGE to actually learn it.

I broke my first pair of Bose headphones at the gym, an accident that nearly reduced me to tears – they cost me over £200. Next was a pair of Apple EarBuds, which I wasn’t too fussed about, as, generally speaking, they’re pretty rubbish.

Nowadays, I have a pair of headphones for the gym and a pair of headphones for everything else (basically, when I’m not sweating and/or moving heavy objects).

My go-to headphones for travel, walking, commuting and everything else in between is a set of Bose QC35’s. I’m no audiophile, but these headphones are fantastic. They blew me away when I tested them, so I went out and bought a pair.



For the gym, however, I wanted something a lot cheaper, so in the event they broke, highly likely given my track record, I wouldn’t mind too much. Basically, I wanted something under £30/$50.

If you want to be super frugal, though, you should definitely check out my article on the best earbuds you can buy for under a tenner. These headphones aren’t going to win any competitions for overall sound quality and performance, but for the gym they will more than suffice.

All the earbuds on this list cost less than a tenner – with the exception of one, which retails for the princely sum of £12 –, feature call-handling abilities, and, in some cases, are actually really rather good.

They had to have decent sound and they also had to be wireless because, as some of you will know, wires are the devil when you’re deadlifting or squatting.

I tried simple, in-ear-only earbuds, which were very good at the start of a workout, but once the sweat was following they lost traction and, nine times out of ten, fell out. This was no good.

I concluded that I needed a wireless pair of headphones with some kind of strap, so in the event one fell out, it would simply lay across the back of my neck.

Turns out I was right; this, in my opinion, is the best possible design for a pair of gym-only headphones. You get all the benefits of a wireless pair of headphones, just with the added safety of a wire that links them and stops them dropping to the floor when one falls out.

TaoTronics Bluetooth Earphones are the best I have found for £20. They look decent enough, fit really well in my ear, and are available in a range of colours, if that’s something you’re interested in.


To be honest, prior to buying a pair of these I had zero expectations. I just wanted to block out the deafening sound of Kiss FM at my local gym; I wasn’t looking for Bose QC35 levels of performance.

The TaoTronics Bluetooth Earphones don’t offer anywhere close to Bose -levels of sound. How could they? They cost £20! But what they do is offer a simple, cost-effective solution for anyone that doesn’t want to ruin a decent pair of headphones in the gym.

And for £20, you do get quite a lot of bang for your book. I mean, just check out these cool features:

Built-in magnets let you attach the two headphones together when not using, and wear like a necklace around your neck, a convenient way to carry around when you don't need them
Comfortable in-ear design, snug and secure, make sure the headset stay put and your music stays smooth when you are running, cycling, exercising and doing other activities
CVC Noise Cancellation 6.0 technology reduces outside noises, enable clearer microphone sound when talking to your family or friends; you get high quality, hands-free phone conversation even on the street or inside shopping mall
Latest Bluetooth 4.1 technology; easy and fast pairing with smartphones, tablets and other Bluetooth enabled music devices; aptX codec provides pure, CD-like high quality sound for compatible devices.
Works with all smartphone, tablets and other Bluetooth music player. Up to 5 hours of continuous talking / music time and up to 175 hours of standby with a single charge, so you have less time charging and more time doing. Pls. note: Customers should know they need to use a 5V adapter which means the charging output shall be 5V to enable the headphones' normal operation.
As I said, these are not going to compete with a £100 to £300 pair of headphones. They won’t even come close.

But if you’re looking for a decent pair of headphones for the gym that can take a serious licking and still manage to pump out decent sound, you cannot go wrong with a pair of these bad boys.

This is likely why over 5000 people like me have given them a 4.5/5 review on Amazon.

Again, these headphones are all about value for money. They won’t compete with your Bose headphones, but because they’re so cheap, it doesn’t matter if you mangle them in the gym, drench them in sweat, or break them while lifting weights.

So if you like to search privately you can go to Startpage it will not store your search data and can search without getting tracked your IP address. Also, its enhanced by Google so no risk of any threats or hacks.

2. Use " (quotes) for specific searches:-
As you usually search for any keyword you will go for word, at that time google do smart work it will try to render that word also and give different categorized search options. so if you want to go for the specific thing you need to search then try it with quotes so search results can be improved.

3. Search By location Or Area Wise:-
As you often go for a search to the particular thing you will find that it will show non-region search much time. like you searching from Gujarat and shows another state search. so for the better result, you can try to choose the location first to get accurate results.

4. Use search keywords or operators while searching:-
As you go for google search there are some tricks like you can use some google search operators like and, or, asterisk(*) sign to differentiate your search options.
Use and when you like to have search results have more than 1 quality like " buy a blue color mobile and having 6 GB ram" it will try to combine both of them and search right product for you.
Use OR in search while you not sure for 1 particular thing then Google will show according to best alternatives.
Use * Asterisk sign when you just knew a little about you searching. Like you searching for movie name and forget the whole name then you will try it with the asterisk that will find the best specific search you need.

5. Search With -(Minus) Sign:-
As you tried all search but not knew ever you searched for. minus(-) in the search bar is used to eliminate the Specific part of the search. Like if you made search " buy a laptop under 20,000 -dell " then the search results show the different laptops but dell is eliminated in the search. So you won't find any product regarding the dell Products. so by this way, you can improve your search, And find some specific things in less time.

6. Search For Similar website:-
As you often search for particular movie or any other stuff sometimes you need an alternate website if you don't like that stuff. So here is trick search with like "related: facebook.com" so you will find the best alternative or similar website you searching for.

7. Find Specific files:-
As you need some particular extensions of the file for your work go directly with the ppt, pdf, docx, excel, etc. So it will redirect you to the best search option.

8. Search with terms in the search bar:-
Different terms are used to search for specific particular like. If you search for "Allintitle: Indian space organization" it will search for all the word from the title. You can also search with "intext: your search" to search for specific Word phrase. also, you can use "inurl: your search" to get the similar URL or websites.

As this all search options saves your time in searching specific particular and useful for fast searches. so you must learn it and try it.

30TB SSD disclosed by Samsung

08:03 0

The solid-state drive pictured above may look like any other, but don’t be fooled: Samsung’s PM1643 crams a staggering 30.72 terabytes of storage into the traditional 2.5-inch SSD form factor. That’s enough room for 5,700 full HD movies, Samsung says.

Samsung created its 30TB SSD by combining 32 sticks of 1TB NAND flash packages together, each built with 16 layers of stacked 512Gb V-NAND chips. This drive nearly doubles the capacity of Samsung’s previous champion, which topped out at 16TB.

Whether it’s the world’s largest SSD is up for some debate. Seagate unveiled a 60TB SSD in a fatter 3.5-inch form factor during the Flash Memory Summit in late 2016, but it doesn’t appear to have ever been sold.

The PM1643 is fast, too. It dishes out data at speeds much faster than consumer SSDs, hitting sequential read/write speeds up to 2,100MBps and 1,700 MBps, respectively. (The stellar Samsung 860 Pro SSD, by comparison, is rated for read/write speeds of 560MBps and 530MBps.)


The endurance of Samsung’s 30TB SSD appears just as stellar. It’s got a five-year warranty, rated for one full drive write per day. That means you can replace all 30.72TB of data day-in and day-out for five years straight without expecting a catastrophic drive failure.

Now for the bad news: This monstrous solid-state drive isn’t destined for consumer PCs. The PM1643 is an enterprise drive through and through, kitted with a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connection instead of a SATA port for business customers looking to shift away from mechanical hard drives. Prices haven’t been revealed, but expect the cost to match the gargantuan capacity. The 30TB SSD has already started manufacturing with a smaller storage options coming later this year.

Fingers crossed that super-sized SSDs trickle down to the masses sooner rather than later. In the meantime, check out PCWorld’s guide to the best SSDs for no-nonsense buying advice on the greatest consumer storage available, complete with information about what to look for in solid-state drives.

HIGH HEELS CHANGE COLOR WITH THE CLICK OF AN APP

06:33 0


Remember last year, when “smart” ballet slippers pirouetted into our hearts (and headlines)? Well, now a high-tech pair of smart high-heels is strutting onto the wearable fashion scene and, Toto, we’re not in blandsville anymore.

They’re called Volvorii Timeless smart shoes and what’s so special about them is that they change color in the click of a smartphone app (iOS and Android versions to come). Hello, instant customization gratification. Not sure which heels to wear with that little black dress? Need to morph from business casual to nightclub slick, but no time to shift shoes? No stress. Leave it to the Internet of Stilettos.

View image on Twitter
Created by a seven-person Lithuanian startup called iShüu Tech, and originally the brainchild of display technology research scientist Wallen Mphepö, these high-tech pumps are digital chameleons for your fancy feet. They’re made of leather and rubber and outfitted with the hidden circuit board, Bluetooth, and battery components. And, here’s the kicker, they’re pimped out with electronic (e-ink) “paper” that you control with a companion app, altering the look of the flexible digital panel that spans from the top of the toes on up the sides of the pumps.
Depending on what your outfit calls for, or your mood, you can switch the Volvorii’s smart display panel from black to white to a chic Louis Vuitton-inspired black and white pattern. Its ambitious makers, who think they “just might be on the verge of creating a new micro industry for the world,” plan to add more cool pattern choices in the future.


Available in black or white, soft leather-lined Volvorii also comes in two tall heel heights, 3.5 inches,
and 4.5 inches. The battery that powers the display recharges via an included USB wireless charger and takes about two hours to fully juice from zero.
The platform-style pumps launched on Indiegogo on March 12. So far the media darling of a campaign has raised $19,700 of a $50,000 goal, with 20 days to go. If you want a futuristic pair of your own, you’ll have to shell out $249. The $149 and $199 Indiegogo perk packages are already history. The first Volvorri are expected to ship this December, just in time for all those dressy holiday parties.
