Hey guys! Looking for some really good earbuds for the gym. Here’s some specs I think are important to me, please recc whatever you think fits best (bonus for tried and tested) -Sweat proof! (i sweat a lot on my face especially, I can’t have them getting waterlogged lol) -Slip proof, basically they can’t fall out of my ear mid rep. I know over ear ones would be the best for these but those tend to feel suffocating while I’m weight training. -Slight noise cancelling. I just wanna mute some surrounding sound, not completely block it out for when I’m running (safety first while running outside!) A good booming bass to really get the blood pumping (some good pump songs would also be welcome hehe)

I have a certain pair I use for work that work well but they’re just for work. I have recently bought the Beats Studio buds but they’re already crackling and sound like shit (those were purchased April 10th)

Any recommendations? There is no budget and I don’t mind spending good money on something with quality.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the QC Bose.

Please drop any recommendations you might have.

I’m trying to find the best wireless earbuds for working out, and I’m tired of hype‑only recommendations. My current buds slip when I sweat, battery dies too fast, and I want something that actually stays in place, sounds great, and survives intense sessions without cutting out.

I’ve seen tons of options thrown around, but I want real opinions from people who actually use them for workouts not just spec sheets.

What are the best wireless earbuds you’ve used for working out, and which ones should I avoid?

I have been on the AirPod wave for a while but I feel that they crap out on me quickly and do not stay in my ears while working out. Wanted to see if anyone had an earbud they would recommend? Preferably not with the silicon tips but I am open to any options :)

Hi everybody,

I am looking for a good pair of earbuds to go to the gym. These are some options I have tried but did not make the cut:

• Apple AirPods: have a good fit and don't usually fall from my ears, but terrible controls when using an Android phone (which is what I am currently using).

• Samsung Galaxy Buds Live: OK fit, but I already lost two pairs as the case do not seem to hold them well.

• Samsung Galaxy Buds 2: terrible fit, they keep falling from my ears all the time.

• Sony WI-XB400: they keep falling from my ears when I bench press.

• Beats Flex: same as the Sony, but with better magnets and worse sound and battery life.

• Anker SoundCore Q10: found it awkward to use such a big thing at the gym, and it is not good for running on the treadmill.

I am tired of buying new phones and I would like a solution that would be appropriate for my use. Perhaps some model with ear hooks or ear wings (by the way, which is better?). I spend some 2 hours at the gym daily, and I do both strength training and cardio. Occasionally, I would need to answer some calls.

First, I need convenience and comfort: a good earbud that does not fall from my ears and which has good and easy controls. Second, I want a good and rich sound, but convenience and comfort are my primary concern.

I am in Brazil, so my choices are limited. For instance, the Tribit MoveBuds H1 is virtually unknown here and nowhere to be found. And most options would have to be imported. I have looked at a few options available here:

• JBL Endurance Peak 3: available locally (JBL is hugely popular in Brazil), but a bit on the expensive side here. Not sure about the sound and build quality.

• JBL Reflect Aero TWS: I am not sure if wing tips would be a solution.

• JBL Endurance Race: not sure about the wing tips, and seems to have a worse sound quality, but I have not tested it.

• Anker SoundCore Sports X10: cheaper than JBL, but it has to be imported and takes longer to arrive. I like the sound of my Q10, but I am not sure how it compares to the JBL Endurance Peak 3.

• Beats Powerbeats Pro: looks premium and is very expensive, but the specs are not impressive compared to the others. Is it so much better? As it costs more than double than the other options, I would only buy these if it were a night-and-day difference.

• Beats Fit Pro: how does it compare to the others? Are the wing tips any good?

• Lenovo XT80: very cheap, but not sure if up to my needs.

Any recommendation? Thanks!

I only use the treadmill, but I'd like to start outdoor running mainly due to the AF+ outdoor run workouts looking very appealing.

That said, in the past, I've always struggled with earbuds popping out of my ears, or head phones falling off.

Anyone here have recommendations on headphones/ear buds that seem to stay on when running? I have small ears so sometimes even the ones that wrap around my ears will slip off :).

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi, what's your favorite pair of earbuds for running or working out now?
I'm not sure if Apple products are the best or please tell me if u have any other recs.

I'm really curious your picks and their price range if you remember. It would be also great if u can share your experience with it. Thanks for any recommendations!!

Hey all! I’ll try to keep this short and sweet.

Phone: iPhone 14 Pro

My Powerbeats Pro (original) finally are dead. The right bud can’t stay alive anymore for more than an hour and my workouts usually consist of lifting for an hour then a run for anywhere from 15-60 minutes.

It seems the general consensus is the new Powerbeats Pro 2 are a dud - same lack of good sound at a high price point. That doesn’t sound up my alley - as much as I’d like their “iPhone specific features” and I loved the fit of the original PBP. Because the PBP fit me so nice, I turned a blind eye to their lack of good sound, but now I want better.

Currently I’ve tried the following replacements:

Soundcore P40i - not bad for the price. They just feel cheap, which I guess they are.

Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro - tbh, P40i sound better to me, sadly with EQ adjusted on both. The squeeze controls also suck compared to my AirPods Pro.

Nothing Ear(a) - decent, but constant hiss/white noise on transparency mode - might try these again as I still have them. Again, squeeze controls feel mediocre but perhaps better than the L4P above.

Soundcore Sport X20 - did not like. Sounded fine but those hooks are trash compared to my PBP.

Soundcore Liberty Pro 2 - I’ve had these a long time. Problem is, they suck and connecting and disconnecting to the point I want to replace them. Otherwise they’re pretty comfy, touch controls kinda suck and battery is terrible.

So long story short - I need wireless buds that stay put, work with sunglasses, and overall sound great, specifically for metal genre. ANC/transparency are my last worry, but wind reduction can be important for my outdoor runs.

I will say, again back to Apple products, I wish I can find something that fits like my AirPods Pro gen1 but actually sounds good. The APP1 are just FLAT and I can’t adjust EQ as I don’t use Apple Music (YouTube Premium).

I’d like to stay below $200 USD or even below $150 USD. I’ve seen a lot of talk about OnePlus buds (3 or 3 Pro) but I’ve seen some negative reviews too. I’m open to literally any brand.

My AirPods are dying and I’m thinking about getting another pair. I’m also considering wireless headphones though. What are everyone’s favorites? I want noise cancellation. Having transparency mode is nice too but not necessary. What are everyone’s favorite wireless headphones/earbuds and why?

Over the last 6 years I’ve probably spent close to $2000 on earbuds. With the exception of the JBL endurance sports, every pair has either has succumbed to sweat/rain damage, fallen apart, or had battery/charging problems. I can’t remember them all, but off the top of my head, I’ve tried:

AirPods (3rd gen & Pro): sweat damage.

ESC sound Series 3: 1st pair sweat damage. Replacement bud charging problem. 2nd replacement set charging problem in one bud and sweat damage in other.

Soundcore X10 Sport: right bud started glitching and then fell apart.

Jabara Elite 75 & 85: 75s volume would randomly drop; replacement set sweat damage. 85s rain damage.

JBL Endurance Sports: work fine, but they have a touch surface instead of buttons and if a single drop of sweat or rain hits the surface, it will randomly start skipping tracks or turn the earbuds off.

I had another set of JBLs I can’t remember the name of that died of sweat damage because the charge port had a plastic cover that was slowly bent out of shape every time it was opened until it couldn’t close anymore.

I’ve tried a few random cheap pairs I can’t remember that we’re supposed to be sweat resistant but didn’t last. I know BIFL isn’t really feasible, but at this point I don’t care about price if I can get at least 2-3 of reliable service.

Hey, I’m looking for some new earbuds for working out and need some suggestions. Been using a few pairs, but none of them have really done it for me.

EDIT: After looking at multiple reviews online I ended up going with these earbuds, been great so far :)

I tried some second hand Jabra Elite Active 75t's and they were super comfy, but they didn’t stay in during intense movements (think burpees, running, etc.). Plus, the noise isolation was a little too much for me—felt like I was in a bubble and couldn’t hear anything around me, which made me feel kinda unsafe.

I’m looking for something that:

- Stays put during intense workouts

- Good sound but doesn’t need to be mind-blowing (I care more about fit and comfort)

- Decent battery life, at least 6-8 hours

- Waterproof or sweatproof for sure

- Under $150, preferably around $100-120 if possible

Anyone got recommendations? Appreciate any help! Thanks so much :)

I feel like Shokz openfit 2 works great for home workouts. We just set up some equipment and since my husband works from home and takes calls, I can’t just blast music on speakers. With these, no sweaty ears and they stay put. For outdoors I use the openrun pro, indoors it’s openfit 2. Curious what everyone else uses for working out?

I'm looking at getting noise cancelling earbuds for working out at the gym. I have an iPhone 12 and I really don't want AirPods. I want to get wireless earbuds for under $150 USD. I'm currently looking at the Soundcore A40. My requirements for the earbuds are:

1. Comfortable fit and stable fit

2. Excellent audio quality

3. Good total battery life (buds + case)

4. Good build quality

5. Really good noise cancelation, good transparency mode, and good wind reduction

6. At least IPX4 rating

7. Have good control scheme

8. Have an IOS app

Do you think that the Soundcore A40 is perfect for what I'm looking or do you have any recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for ear buds that I will mainly use for the gym (loud environment) that should not cost more than 200€.

I had the Pixel Buds Pro for a long time and just upgraded to the Pixel Buds Pro 2s but for me they are unironically a huge downgrade in terms of sound quality. I am mainly looking for

- good sound (can be on the bass heavy side)

- good & secure fit

- good ANC

Everything else like mic quality, transparency mode, etc. I really do not care about at all.

A friend of mine recommended me the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 or Nothing Ear 2024 to check these boxes, curious what you guys think and would recommend!

I’m currently searching for a pair of earbuds that are perfect for workouts. I need something that provides excellent sound quality, and is sweat-resistant bonus points if they have noise cancellation.

I usually listen to music, and sometimes take calls while working out, so good mic quality is important too. I need earbuds that will stay secure while running, jumping, and doing various exercises.

With so many options available i also check this list of earbuds available, it’s overwhelming to decide which ones are truly worth the investment.

Here’s a list of some popular choices I’ve come across:

1. Beats Powerbeats Pro

2. JBL Reflect Aero

3. SHOKZ OpenFit

4. Sennheiser Momentum Sport

5. Nothing Ear (Open)

6. Jaybird Vista 2

Has anyone tried these out, or do you have other recommendations for workout earbuds that perform well with intense exercise, offer good call quality, and won’t break the bank? I’m looking for something that’s a solid balance between comfort, sound, and durability

I wanna get a new pair since I'm locking in on the gym this winter. I mostly care about sound quality and bass (ESPECIALLY BASS). Noise cancelling is secondary, but it'd be nice, so I don't have to hear Till I Collapse by Eminem every time I enter the building.

I guess my budget is around $200 (I want something GOOD). I can go over it a little if it's worth it. Would appreciate some recommendations!!

Hi all, looking to get a pair of war buds for the gym and also for just walking around (haha don't want to be worried about them popping out). Any reconmendations? Thanks so much.
