Gym	Going to the gym - while doing your fitness routine, you'll be able to pause, play or skip audio tracks with ease. In addition to that, it's sweat-proof and the ear-piece for these headphones are closed at the back which prevents environmental noise from filtering in. There's also an ear-hook present to help keep it in place while you're in motion.
Running	Going out for a Run - Which is why our recommendation is fairly lightweight at 18 g while also sporting a handy playback and volume control. It's water-resistant so you can keep going even if it starts to rain. In addition, this one also sports an ear-hook to help keep it in place while running.
