Philips is updating its successful ActionFit sports headphone range with four new sweat-resistant, rainproof and lightweight models, specifically designed to accompany a gym workout or outdoor run without compromising on sound quality.

The SHQ5200 features a non-slip headband built with an innovative silicone grip for a comfortable, secure fit, thus preventing the side-slips and front-and-back pendulum effects often associated with a strenuous workout.

A moisture-wicking fabric covers the ear cushions, keeping the fitness fanatic comfortable, cool and dry. Easily detachable, the cushions can be washed after several uses and will come up as good as new.

Weighing in at a slender 99g, the SHQ5200 is one of the lightest headphones on the market. Kevlar-reinforced cable aids durability and offers protection from extreme environments, and the 40mm neodymium drivers provide the bass boost required to power the workout.

Importantly, from a safety angle, the open acoustic design of the SHQ5200 keeps the listener aware of what is happening all around, particularly when training outdoors, while still being able to enjoy the sounds.

The Philips ActionFit SHQ5200 is priced at £65. The SHQ4200 neck-band model is £40, the ActionFit SHQ3200 ear-hook headphones come in at £30, while the ActionFit SHQ1200 in-ear buds retail at £20.
