Get fit for the Autumn
XSories MP3 Waterproof Headphones Price: £54.99 Should swimming be more of your thing, and let’s face it, a warm pool sure beats a glacial road, then make sure you pack this smart underwater mp3 player along with your trunks and your towel. Forgoing the usual system of music players connected to ‘phones using wires — that’s strictly for landlubbers — the XSories Aqua Note packs 4GB of storage into just the earbuds and headband. No external player required. Admittedly, the sound quality isn’t great unless you’re underwater — the makers insist that the output is specifically mixed to sound better when submerged — and there is no shuffle facility, but these are minor quibbles. Wear these at your local pool and you’ll draw as many admiring glances for your headphones as you do for your breaststroke. If you don’t fancy a swim, dip your head into the bath and with up to 10 hours of battery life, you’ll be shrivelled to a prune before you’re out of tunes.
