What to look for in running headphones deals
The first thing to consider is design: do you want your running headphones to be wireless or have an extra strap for support? Or perhaps you’re a fan of in-ear headphones or over-ear designs.
Next, think about the type of running you will be doing. If you run at night or dusk, then you can buy headphones with a reflective design to make yourself more visible to cars. Again, avoid noise-canceling headphones if you are doing a lot of running on sidewalks, as they are so effective in filtering out external sounds that this could be pretty dangerous.
Another criterion is finding running headphones deals that are water and sweatproof. That might add a few dollars to the price but it will mean they last a lot longer and save you the hassle of repurchasing too soon.

Running headphones deals accessories
Alongside headphones, there are plenty of different accessories when it comes to running that you can integrate into your routine to make things all a bit easier. Rather than running clutching your phone in your hand, why not pick up an armband to slot it into? Depending on what you want to carry with you, there are armbands like the Armpocket (opens in new tab) that can carry your keys, card and phone all at once, so you can concentrate on upping your running time.
If you're just starting with your running journey and you want to make sure your hair stays off your face when you run, then you can also pick up a head tie or band, like this one from Nike (opens in new tab). In the colder weather, gloves can also be a huge benefit as you run, to keep your fingers from suffering as they adjust to different temperatures.
