Sweat Proof Headphones? - Equipment - TrainerRoad
January 3, 2019 - Anyone have good recommendations for headphones that won’t fail due to sweat on the trainer? *I prefer sound isolating. I’ve gone through 2 pair of the Shure SE215’s. On a per workout basis I’m probably getting them fo…

Headphones that can handle intensive workouts and sweat
I am happy with some of the Jabra earbuds. Both Elite Active 75t, Elite 7 and Elite 10 have good sound and fit that for me is superior to e g AirPods Pro. More on reddit.com

Sweat proof ear buds?
I sweat profusely and killed every set of “water resistant” earbuds I got until my wife (then girlfriend) purchased me a set of jabra active 2. They have worked for nearly 3 years now with no issues or discomfort. More on reddit.com

What are your favorite workout headphones?
I use shokz bone conductor headphones. They are hard to beat for cardio especially if done outside since you can still hear your surroundings. The open swim pros are the ones I have and can even be used in the pool for swimming. More on reddit.com

Best over ear headphones for gym?
There is sadly no way to prevent them from getting nasty or for washing to eventually to wear down the pads. Good maintenance will help but the inevitable seems to always happen. Personally I just ended up using koss Ksc75s for the gym because they are cheap, feel like little clouds on my ears, have good sound quality, and replacement pads are super cheap. It's annoying to deal with a cord and dongle but not having to worry about more expensive headphones getting lost/stolen/broken is worth it imo. But to answer your question if I had to i would go with Bose quiet comfort ultras. Keep in mind 90% of the reason isn't necessarily that I enjoy Bose's sound signature (it's not bad, I'm just more used to wired sound quality with non mainstream sound signatures). The reason being they stick to my head well, are comfortable, they are extremely light and easy to clean, and there are a ton of earpad options on the market so I don't have to pay an arm and a leg to replace pads when it comes time that I inevitably need to replace them. I stick to ksc75s if I know I'm going to do a grueling workout but for most workout days the Bose do extremely well...my beat up pair have lasted 4 years and only just now are finally starting to suffer from battery degradation (but still hold a very long charge).

The 8 Best Running Headphones in 2025 - Best Wireless Earbuds for Runners
November 25, 2025 - The fit is secure and stable, with ergonomic ear hooks and a memory wire frame that stays put no matter how much you sweat or move around.

Calls are crystal clear, even in windy conditions, thanks to dual microphones and smart noise reduction. If you want headphones that sound great, stay comfortable, and keep you safe and aware, the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 is tough to beat.

I Work Out For A Living—Here Are the Best Headphones for Everything From Runs to Gym Sessions
3 weeks ago - For serious athletes (and seriously sweaty workouts), we recommend headphones that offer water protection to survive intense training sessions. While you can get by without dust protection if you primarily workout indoors, you should consider proper dust resistance if you’re trail running or doing HIIT on the beach. Beyond dust and water resistance, the best workout headphones boast impact-resistant materials, such as durable plastic, high-grade silicone or rubber, and reinforced hinges and headbands.

Are earbuds or headphones better for sweating workouts? - Quora
Answer: Depends on what you’re doing - I sweat a lot, and I move a lot and have objects flying around my head like kettlebells and dumbbells and barbells, so headphones are not the best option for me. Working out at home, in my garage, I have a Bluetooth speaker that I connect to my phone ...

3 weeks ago - You can switch between each mode using the buttons on the sides of the headphones, making them suitable for both exercise and daily life (e.g. commutes). They are also surprisingly very sweatproof, with a higher IPX waterproof rating than any other device on my list, although they aren't suitable for swimming.

I have drenched them with both sweat and rain and even dropped one in a cup of coffee once and they’re fine. And they have buttons, which makes things a lot easier with gloves or hats in the winter than some of the ones that you just tap. Battery life is excellent. I believe they are the perfect running headphones.

November 11, 2025 - While the BlueAnt Pump X headphones aren't going to win any awards for sound quality (they sound good but not great), they have a few things going for them as gym headphones. First, they fold up and feel sturdily built, weighing in at 295 grams (while they're not light, they're also not too heavy). Second, they're comfortable to wear and come with two sets of swappable ear pads -- the "everyday" set is covered with soft faux leather, while the workout set is cloth-covered and is designed to keep your ears cooler as you heat up. Finally, they're IP54 splash-proof and sweat-proof.
