Just as important as choosing the perfect shoe for your sport is buying a headset that guarantees comfort and quality music during training. The team tested four sports launches that promise to be more anatomical (they don’t fall out of the ear), practical (some answer calls) and resistant (they don’t break with sweat). Check out what we think of these models with prices and technologies that vary greatly from one product to another:

1. The Basics – ActionFit RunWild (SHQ1405), Philips, $50

“I sweat a lot while running – I’ve even broken a phone like that! – and I was happy to know that the model is water resistant. Even better that even with excessive sweat, they didn’t slip. I tested two formats: the one with an arch that goes around the top of the ear (like the one in the photo) and the one with a rod that fits in the curves of the ear and both worked well. The big disadvantage is that you can’t change the sound volume using the wire button (it only serves to pause and play the music). On the other hand, the sound insulation was great. Oh! The box instructions are in English and there is no manual.” Daniela Bernardi, fitness editor

2. The Technological One – Gear IconX, Samsung, BRL 1,499

“Despite having 4 GB of memory to store music offline, in streaming mode (with Spotify running), the connection via bluetooth dropped all the time – the cell phone had to be very close for it to work. So I ended up keeping the phone in the small pocket of my gym shorts (advantage of the absence of wires) and I couldn’t test the advanced exercise monitoring technology: calculating speed, time, calories and distance. At first, even without an instruction manual, it was easy to pair it and figure out how to change the song and turn up the volume (just tap on the device itself). ” Giulia Granchi, contributor

3. The Powerful One – Powerbeats3 Wireless, Beats, R$1,199

“I liked that the wire that goes behind the head connecting one side to the other is adjustable, as well as the rubber that goes on the ear (with four different sizes). But the design reminded me of hearing aids . While transporting, I was able to make the best use of the beat of the songs because the headphone muffles the ambient sound – when the song wasn’t that exciting, I switched to another one with two touches of the button on the cord (you can also advance the track itself and increase the volume). volume). The connection is made via bluetooth and, according to the manufacturer, the battery lasts for 12 hours and the material is sweat resistant.” Luiza Monteiro, digital reporter

4. The Discreet – X3, Jaybird, R$799.90

“I’ve always preferred headphones (the big ones, DJ-style) because the little ones fell out of my ear. When I got the X3 I thought it wouldn’t work: they are minimalist and have only a short wire that connects one side to the other. Nothing! The model fit superbly during running and bodybuilding and guaranteed freedom for the exercises. The first time I paired it with my cell phone it wasn’t so easy. Extra point for the eight hours of battery life (you can recharge one hour of use in just fifteen minutes, according to the manual). If, on the one hand, I was surprised by the ability to answer calls and connect two headphones simultaneously, on the other hand, I was sad because it is not possible to change the music through the phone itself (it has a button that only increases the volume).” Letícia Margutti, designer
