JAYBIRD VISTA HEADPHONES £160

I don’t usually listen to music when hiking, but sometimes a motivational Spotify playlist is exactly what I need. I use the Jaybird Vista wireless buds: they’re lightweight and waterproof, with great battery life. They fit comfortably into my ears (a clever little clip means they never fall out) and an IPX7 rating means they’re rugged enough to cope with the outdoor environment.

VERDICT A great adventure sports companion – crisp sound in a sleek yet rugged design. USED BY James Forrest, Trail contributor USED FOR 18 months
