I have played various instruments besides the flute, and what I have learned is that even as a beginner, it’s worth investing in a good-quality instrument rather than opting for a cheap one.

Many people suggest starting with a low-priced flute to see if playing the instrument is something you enjoy, and then upgrading later. However, I believe this is the wrong approach. When you’re starting to play a new instrument, it’s crucial that it is enjoyable and easy to begin with. Playing a cheap flute is the opposite – it can be difficult to play and may not sound great.

It can be quite tedious to run without listening to music. That’s why many people choose to use earphones while jogging. However, regular earphones often slip or fall off due to the jostling movement. Luckily, there are plenty of earphone options available that are specifically designed for joggers and athletes, making them more convenient to use.

If you prefer using earbuds when running, it’s important to remember that they can reduce your awareness of the environment. Therefore, you should keep the volume at a level low enough for you to hear what’s happening around you. Don’t hesitate to lower the volume whenever necessary.

One option that might suit your needs is Sony earphones. Sony offers earphones that work exceptionally well for joggers, thanks to their high sound quality and secure fit. The Sony earphones with a 3-way passive crossover stay in place while you exercise and provide clear sound. These earphones are also capable of filtering out ambient noise, so you need to be cautious when using them while running and remain aware of your surroundings, especially in busy environments.
