For sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts, regular headphones just don’t cut it. Over-ear headphones are too bulky for physical activity, and earbuds can slip out while moving around. Thankfully, there are a large variety of cans designed for sports and made to withstand the rigors of working out.

 

One of them is the Sennheiser 686G, a waterproof and sweat-proof pair of in-ear headphones that combine the company’s balanced sound with durability. In addition to being resistant to liquid, the device features an oval-shaped wire to stay tangle-free. There is also an inline remote, giving users access to a volume rocker and a multifunction button that controls music and answers calls, though the headphones are made to be compatible with Android devices.

 

Adjustable ear adapters allow you to get a perfectly snug fit while increasing the bass response. Available on Amazon, the package also comes with a carrying pouch and three sizes of earbuds treated with SteriTouch, an antimicrobial coating to prevent smell. The 686 has two models, the CX with rounded rubber tips and the MX with a molded plastic tip like the Apple Earbuds.
