Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are the ULTIMATE fitness earphones: They're expensive 'but the best I've tried in terms of sound quality and comfort'

The £249.95 earphones feature an earhook and a choice of five tip sizes, ensuring the buds stay in whether you encounter rain, snow, or just a whole load of sweat.

What's more, they feature built-in heart rate monitors, which track your pulse through your ears.
