The Best Workout Headphones

Posted by freemexy on August 27th, 2019

We think the Jabra Elite Active 65t earbuds are the best workout headphones you can get. These headphones sound great for music and calls, they fit comfortably, and because they have no wires, they stay secure and completely out of your way during rigorous workouts. With an IP56 rating, they should withstand abuse, sweat, and moisture when used properly, plus they’re backed by a two-year warranty. And they beat out over 200 other pairs that we tested.mini wireless earbuds bluetooth

The Jabra Elite Active 65t Bluetooth earbuds are our choice for the best workout headphones because they combine great sound, a durable build, a secure fit, and easy-to-use controls in a completely wireless design. They have onboard volume, track, and digital-assistant controls, so you won’t need to fuss with your device mid-workout. The adjustable situational-awareness mode allows you to have a conversation or keep an ear on traffic without removing your earbuds. Five hours of battery life per charge is more than enough for most gym sessions; plus, the charging case can store up to 10 more hours of juice, and the rapid-charge function gives you 90 minutes of use from just 15 minutes in the charging case.

The Aukey Latitude EP-B40 is the only sub- pair of Bluetooth earbuds we tested that sounded pretty good and fit comfortably while still being able to take some abuse. This pair isn’t as water- or dust-resistant as the Jabra Elite Active 65t but its IPX4 rating means that the Latitude shouldn’t quit when faced with a little sweat. Silicone wings and tips keep the earbuds securely fitted, and magnets in the earbuds let you clip them around your neck when you aren’t using them, but the long cable between the earbuds can bounce annoyingly or snag as you turn your head. The battery life of eight-plus hours will get you through more than a week of hour-long workouts before you have to recharge. A two-year warranty protects against manufacturing defects.

Weightlifting at the gym means a lot of repping-in, spot requests, and plate borrowing, which also means you need to talk to the people around you. Earbuds can be a pain to put in and take out, so many weightlifters prefer the convenience of a traditional wireless headphone design. The Plantronics BackBeat Fit 500 fits comfortably but stays put and it’s sweat resistant and easy to keep clean. Simple-to-use controls allow you to change tracks, adjust volume, take calls, and access your phone’s digital assistant without pulling out your device. These headphones also have a fun, bass-forward sound and 18 hours of battery life. If earbuds aren’t your thing, these might be the best workout headphones for you.

Want a pair of cheap wired earbuds to stash in your gym bag? Go for the über-affordable Koss FitClips KSC32i. The hook-over-the-ear design of these workout headphones is flexible and comfortable, the sound is way better than the low price implies, and this pair has a universal single-button remote and mic. And because they’re wired, you don’t have to worry about charging them, although you may need a headphone-jack adapter, depending on which smartphone you use. Though the microphone on the FitClips pair isn’t fantastic for conversations.
