SWEAT MUSIC: MARCHING BAND

Hakii Mix headphones offer a different audio experience for exercisers

Many runners prefer bone-conduction headphones over in-ear earbuds as they allow them to listen to their surroundings while also listening to music or podcasts. And while most people think workout headphones design can only be so innovative, a new product dares to challenge the status quo. Dubbed Hakki Mix (₹12,200, hakii.com), the new smart headband headphones offer a similar listening experience to bone-conduction headphones but in a headband form. Despite the open-ear design, the Hakki Mix is said to deliver powerful bass thanks to its 22mm driver.
