FITNESS BUDS
From beast-mode motivational playlists to pain-distracting podcasts, science shows that soundtracking exercise boosts gains. Let’s pump up your potential…
JLAB JBUDS AIR SPORT (3RD GEN)
JLab specialises in budget buds that punch above their price tag – and on paper the third-gen JBuds Air Sport seriously flex that value muscle. With an unshakeable earhook fit, custom EQ, an ambient awareness mode plus rapid charging and Tile finder tools, they offer ace performance for well under £100.
A whopping 44hr battery life does most of the heavy lifting, smashing pricier rivals on endurance with 9hrs of workout time in the buds and 35 more in the case. That’s potentially more than a month’s training off a single charge – and in our tests they lived up to it. Rapid charging matched the stated specs too, although 15mins for an hour’s juice is nowt special when some buds can do that in 5mins.
