FX-SPORT has released their top of the line VRX headphone as the world’s first wireless, customizable personal trainer headphones. The VRX can store up to 8GB as an mp3 player, as well as store customized workouts that are uploaded directly to the headphones.
The advanced headphone is sweatproof, lightweight, and comfortable. It can also be adapted for swimming capabilities with the addition of the silicone skin case accessory that is sold separately.
While these headphones have good fitness-focused features, the audio capabilities have been integrated to produce superior bass, depth, and volume quality as well.

The uniqueness of these wireless headphones is their emphasis on helping athletes train with customized workouts. Users of the FX-SPORT VRX can store workouts in the headphones in three different ways. First, is through self-recording. A user can design his or her own workout and record it to be played back.
The second way workouts can be stored is by searching through the FX-SPORT online workout store and uploading a pre-prepared workout for free to the headphones. The workout store on the FX-SPORT website contains hundreds of pre-recorded workouts. These workouts include weight training, running, and swimming programs with difficulties ranging from beginner to elite.
Finally, the third option to train using the FX-SPORT VRX headphones is through the “Real Coach Training Apps” feature. This option provides users with training programs from real personal trainers, athletes, and coaches. These elite athletic professionals give users a one on one experience where users can listen to their own music at the same time as their personal trainer.
The FX-SPORT website includes testimonials from top athletes and personal trainers. Sophie Hitchon, a British record holder for hammer throwing, described her use of the headphones claiming that they help her “in training and they stay stable when doing powerful exercises.” Hitchon also uses “the personal trainer aspect for my recovery stretching routine” because “it makes sure I do everything correctly, so I am not just guessing at the timings.”
Another testimonial from Cain Leathem, a master personal trainer in the UK, says, “The FX Sport headsets are a fantastic tool to confirm the drills and techniques that I set within my clients program.”
The FX-SPORT VRX is one of the most technologically advanced training headphones on the market. The product truly sets itself apart by allowing the user to train by any means possible. The ability for any user to select three different ways to upload training programs into the headphones makes it a powerful tool for athletes who want to take their training to the next level.
