The Best Wireless Earbuds For Working Out in 2023 - Why Pink Floyd

Top Picks

• Best Overall: Beats Fit Pro - True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds 

Apple recently unveiled a brand-new set of earbuds, this time from Beats, a subsidiary of Apple's parent business, after the introduction of the third-generation AirPods. Although technically not AirPods, the $200 Beats Fit Pro have the same technical underpinnings as the AirPods Pro. In contrast to Beats' earlier and less expensive Studio Buds, the Beats Fit Pro incorporates Apple's H1 processor and most of the AirPods Pro features, such as active noise cancellation, spatial audio, and Adaptive EQ. I think that you have finally found the sports-specific AirPods that you have been looking for.

• Best Smart Ambient: JBL Live Free 2: 35 Hours of Playtime 

Two new headphone models from Samsung-owned JBL, the Live Pro 2 and Live Free 2, are surprisingly good. Both have 11mm drivers, as well as six oval silicon tip microphones, and oval tubes in their construction. Along with effective noise reduction, top-notch sound quality, and strong voice calling capabilities, they also boast a wide variety of features, including a multipoint Bluetooth connection, an IPX5 splash-proof certification, and wireless charging.

• Best Sweatproof: soundcore by Anker Sport X10  

The new Soundcore Sport X10 has a distinctive design with a smaller footprint than typical earbuds with ear hooks thanks to rotating swiveling ear hooks that flip up while you're using them and down when you want to store them in their charging case. As long as you manage to obtain a tight seal, they sound terrific with powerful, snappy bass and respectable detail. Additionally, they provide active noise cancellation, which, although effective, isn't nearly as good as that from Sony or Bose.

• Best Sport: Sennheiser Sport True Wireless 

They have an IP54 rating, which makes them resistant to splashes and dust. Dust cannot enter the IPX4-rated CX True Wireless. Although these earbuds don't filter out noise, they do include an awareness mode that allows outside audio to pass through so you can hear what's happening for safety. They use Bluetooth 5.2 and are AAC and apt-X audio codec compatible. The battery life is advertised as up to 9 hours at moderate volume levels, with two further charges in the charging case. There is no wireless charging.

• Best Sounds: Bose Sport Earbuds - Wireless Earphones 

Due to its StayHear Max tips and snug fit, Bose's QuietComfort Earbuds and Sport Earbuds are both ideal choices to wear as headphones when exercising; however, the Sport Earbuds are more manageable, lighter and more reasonably priced (the QuietComfort Earbuds do have excellent active noise canceling, however). They offer a comparable design with three color options, support Bluetooth 5.1 (my connection was strong), and are splash-resistant to the same extent as the QuietComfort Earbuds (IPX4).
