It has to be tough to make earphones for running that work effectively Engineers have cracked it. Well, two.

 

That scene in ‘Anchorman’ where Ron Burgundy states that he and Veronica are trying this innovative fad called ‘Jogging’ is entirely plausible. Ron’s vague grasp of the English language apart (especially as someone who’s such pleasure in his compilation of leather-bound books), Running was certainly a largely unknown phenomenon until the 1960’s and 70’s (in fact the word ‘jog’ actually denotes a rapid, sudden movement, for instance jogging one’s memory or jogging someone who is writing/painting) until it had been popularized (and named) by a man from New Zealand named Arthur Lydiard.

 

can you picture a planet without jogging?. Its like, if you ever were in an episode of a 90’s TV series ‘Sliders’ and you found a planet where Arthur Lydiard had been knocked by a van or anything, the many fitness companies would be bankrupt. Consider that within the old brain}. Jogging, in a very real way, altered our cultural landscape. Without running, the idea ‘marathon’ wouldn’t be applied as commonly to jogging, even though it was in use previously (In reality ‘Marathon’ originally meant ‘long-lasting’ and had little, if anything, to do with running) and sports/athletic clothing could be reserved for sporty people (as opposed to individuals who consider shoplifting athletic clothing a sport).

 

But, I digress; there is nothing at all useful in anything I just informed you, nothing you brought this post up to examine, anyway. I feel like a bloody Maths teacher (in that I’m wasting my time Showing you things that you’ll never, in the wildest dreams of a million, billion years, find a practical application for). Ironically, as a preferred phenomenon, jogging is going nowhere. {Sure, you occasionally see someone in spandex which you Really shouldn’t wear spandex, but more often than not, you can see good-looking members of the other sex (or the identical sex – I’m not judging) stretching and flexing in a skimpy outfit. You possibly can’t fail, really.

 

If one can’t find anyone to run with, you’ll want music with you, as it prevents you from focussing on your fatigue. It doesn’t matter what you’re paying attention to, so long as it takes your mind of aching joints and that dry phlegm that builds up inside your mouth occasionally. It comes down to a decision between earpieces connected underneath your face or earphones that cover your whole skull. There are too many models in either category (and never enough to select from to mention here) to speak about, so we’ll just converse the merits of both main types of headphones for jogging. The earpieces fit in your ear hole and sometimes attach to your device via calble. These earpieces work very well indeed when you’ve got the right shape of ears. Personally, I happen to become part Vulcan apparently, as my ‘inhuman’ ears (it doesn’t matter what your mates say, these phones are definitely NOT one size fits all!) simply can’t keep those flamin’ things on my head! In case you’re like me, a headset version, lightweight and little is probably your best bet. As I say, it’s an individual choice, just like your jogging soundtrack.
