It's a conundrum any fitness fan knows only too well: music when running is good, but cutting off one of your senses from your immediate surroundings (be it traffic, people, bulldozers or even being fully engrossed in Zombies, Run!) is bad.
You've likely heard of solutions such as the best bone conduction headphones which leave your ears completely free (by transmitting sound vibrations along your cheekbones instead of through your cochlea like regular earbuds), or open-ear options from Oladance, Cleer and others – and you may even have cast your eyes on JBL's convertible pair or SONR's 'head puck' solution for swimming.
