Small-eared runners rejoice! These little beauties, which come in a sophisticated range of colours, not only fit smaller ears, but they stay there too. The sticky-up bit is fl exible, so you shunt the bud in your ear, and twist it a bit until both sections lock in, and you’re done. They feel genuinely secure and they’re light too, so there doesn’t feel like any danger of them falling out while running. They paired easily, and the sound quality is great with something called Spatial Audio, which means it moves with you as you move – it’s totally immersive. You can manage music and calls by tapping on the buds, and they have a Transparency mode, which is perfect for runners, as it means you can hear traffic and noise around you at the same time. They offer a fairly average 6 hours of listening time, plus 18 hours with the case.
