Active headphones for everyday use

Sol Republic’s Relays mix leisure with pleasure

If you are a runner, you know that you need a bit extra from your headphones. Sweatproof electronics are always a bonus point, but first and foremost, they need to stay in your ears. Usually, that means some sort of contraption that fits over your ear to hold the ear bud in place – not always the most comfortable. Sol Republic’s Relays take the best from the regular headphone world and mix it with the good bits of the fitness market. Sweat-proof and comfortable, the Relays come with extra small tips, which is good news for those of us with smaller ear canals.
