Best earbuds and headphones for exercise in 2024
Soundcore from Anker Sport X10: The Soundcore Sport As long as you get a good seal, they sound good, with strong, punchy bass and good detail. They also have active noise cancellation, which is effective, but not as good as Sony or Bose noise cancellation. They are also completely waterproof with an IP rating of IPX7, meaning they can be fully submerged in up to 100 meters of water for 30 minutes. Battery life is up to eight hours with three additional charges in the charging case.
Sennheiser Sport True Wireless: The Sport True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds (about $100) are essentially Sennheiser’s CX True Wireless earbuds with sport fins — for a more secure fit — and better durability. They have an IP54 rating, making them splash-proof and dust-resistant. The CX True Wireless, rated IPX4, is not dust resistant.
Skullcandy Push Active: With their earhook design, they’re essentially a more affordable version of the Beats Powerbeats Pro and actually fit my ears a little better than the Powerbeats Pro — I’m not normally a fan of earbuds, but these are one of the better models. They also cost a lot less than the Beats.
Cleer Audio Arc 2 Sport: Cleer’s original Arc earbuds were solid sport earbuds with decent sound for open-style earbuds that sit on top of your ears and fire sound into them. The 2023 model (about $170) improves sound quality and offers additional refinements and feature upgrades, including a new ‘enhanced’ charging case with UV sterilization and multipoint Bluetooth connectivity (Bluetooth 5.3), all making for a significantly improved product .
Beats Powerbeats Pro: While the Powerbeats Pro remain popular workout earbuds, they’ve been around for a number of years, so it’s best to buy them at a significant discount.
JBL Live Pro 2: Over the years, JBL headphones have released some decent true wireless Bluetooth earbuds, but nothing that really got me excited. That has finally changed with the arrival of Samsung’s new brand Live Pro 2 And Live free 2 buttons. Both sets of earbuds – the Live Pro 2 has stems, while the Live Free 2 has a pill-shaped design – offer a comfortable fit along with strong noise cancellation, very good sound quality and voice calling performance, plus a robust set of earbud features including multipoint Bluetooth pairing, a IP rating of IPX5 (splash proof) and wireless charging.
Sony LinkBuds: The LinkBuds are, in a way, Sony’s answer to Apple’s standard AirPods. While they don’t sound as good as Sony’s flagship WF-1000XM4 or the LinkBuds S noise-isolating Bluetooth earbuds, they offer a discreet, innovative design and a more secure fit than the AirPods, as well as decent sound and very good voice. evoke performance. As with the third generation of AirPods, their open design allows you to hear the outside world – that’s what the ring is all about. Read our Sony LinkBuds review.
