When Apple introduced the iPhone 7 a few years ago, it was missing a ubiquitous feature: the headphone jack.
And while many believed it was the opportunity for wireless headphones to soon become the standard, workarounds like Apple's headphone adapter allowed users to stay connected.
But if you are a runner, you may want to rethink this.
Running while holding on to any object, including your cell phone, means that you are putting your stride at risk.
Good form starts with your hands, which means that if there is something creating tension there, it will alter the shape of your upper body and end up requiring more energy.
The more energy you expend, the more fatigue you will suffer during your runs.
Not to mention constantly getting your arms tangled in cables and constantly adjusting your headphones can kill your concentration, quickly.

The simple solution is: exercise with wireless headphones
Bluetooth headphones allow you to store your smart device in a running bag or belt bag (
MX $ 399 or
USD $ 12.49;
on Amazon).
This will keep your hands free and ensure that your upper body shape is correct.
The obvious benefit here is that you can focus solely on the track ahead of you.
And if major tech companies like Apple remove the 3.5mm headphone jack, you'll always find yourself connected.
A selection based on best sellers and good reviews on Amazon of headphones that are a good alternative specifically for runners are the
Senso Bluetooth headphones
(
MX $ 826 or
USD $ 21.97).
They are designed with flexible ear hooks to ensure they stay securely and comfortably in place while you're on the go.

USD $ 69.99) and
Jabra Elite Sport Wireless
(
