Yurbuds Focus Earphones

Yurbuds Focus Earphones (£25)

Most would agree that there are two flaws when running with earphones, the tangled cord and, an earphone that doesn't slip out of a sweaty ear.
Yurbuds, claim that they have the answer, developed by athletes for the athlete, Twistlock technology addresses one problem. Though alas, I find not with the first point. Pulling the woven cord from my pocket I find a ball of tangled spaghetti in my hand, which delays the start of my run, although not as bad as other earphones that I have owned I might add.
Inserting the earphone is very easy, with a quick twist, once you get the hang of it, can be a bit fiddly at first.
The ones I had initially didnt fit as the "bud" part didnt want to twist into place, being too small, but a quick email to yurbuds and they sent replacements free of charge! now thats service.
They felt comfortable and secure, but for how long would they hold in place..?. Only one way to find out, long run, and what better way to access the sound quality, than good old Metallica


Six miles late I am surprised, the earphone is still secure and throughout the run there was no cause for adjustment. The clarity of the earphones is very good, and the ambient noise quality impressive, as I like to be aware of traffic around me.
At last a reliable pair of earphones that do not slip out, are sweatproof and dont take all day to untangle.
