New Balance 4" Woven 2-in-1 Short, $45
These breathable running shorts include a hidden back pocket—the perfect size for a small music player. Keep the pocket zipped and string your headphone cord through the wire exit valve so you can be sure your items won't fall out while you exercise.
The two-in-one design features an inner boy-short to prevent chafing and a looser outer short with reflective paneling. A washable "in case of emergency" tag is a great safety accessory for those who occasionally forget their ID at home. newbalance.com
NB639 Fitness Evolved Headphones, $100
Techie-runners can listen to the rhythm of the music while tracking their heartbeat at the same time. The NB639 Headphones from New Balance will turn your music player into a personal coach with a one-touch sensor that measures your heart rate instantly, and a pedometer that clocks your distance. The audio coaching setting allows you to have a little voice in your ear telling you how fast, how far and how hard you've run. ihomeaudio.comRunPhones, $35
Sweaty ears? RunPhones have got you covered. Pump up the jams on hot, humid days with earphones that double as an absorbent sweatband. Made from 100-percent recycled plastic bottles, the band is machine-washable and water-resistant so you can wear it safely even in rainy weather.
Those with sensitive skin will love the soft feel of the headphones as compared to the hard plastic variety. RunPhones are also available in a thicker winter version. runphones.com
