A wide grip headband on the Combat+s promises to offer a secure fit during exercise and noise-cancelling tech ensures no external noise can leak in, while the breathable memory foam ear pads are body heat activated.

The Combat+ over-ears are available from Amazon for £160 in lightning green, blue and black finishes, with an additional pair of breathable, washable mesh pads thrown in to the mix too.

Meanwhile, the Transform on-ear headphones feature a lightweight design with a rubberised headband for secure fit.

Breathable, washable mesh pads are used once again and they too are available in lightning green or blue. The Transform on-ears are available on Amazon for £70.

Finally, the Flex Sport earphones are water and sweat proof to IPX5 standards and sport a bacterial resistant ear hook design. The hooks feature a proprietary form fitting design which SOUL claims offers a perfect and secure fit everytime.
