Reinforced design for sweat & water resistance during tough workouts or running. Up to 9 hours of listening time (more than 24 hours with charging case).Volume & track controls on each earbud, microphones with voice capability, and auto play/pause.

2- Bose SoundSport Wireless

These are some of the best-sounding, most reliable running and gym headphones you’ll find for this money. If you really care about sound quality, then these might just be the best sports headphones for you. Volume-optimized EQ maintains a consistent, sonically balanced performance. The sound stays true to your music at any volume, so you can drown out your noisy commute. These sweat and weather-resistant headphones keep your music playing even during your toughest workouts.

JBL Reflect Flow are an excellent and seriously affordable pair of sports-oriented earbuds.The JBL Reflect Flow headphones are hugely impressive performers for the money, especially if you want a bass-heavy sound for the gym without resorting to a pair of over-ear headphones.

4- Sony WF-1000XM4

If you’re looking for premium sports headphones to slip into your ears, these sweat-resistant Sony’s need to be at the top of your list. They have dynamics and detail in spades and deliver a balanced performance, with taut and weighty bass and sophisticated mids and highs. You can’t help but be carried away by their sense of musicality. Those who prioritise battery life in sports headphones should find the eight hours promised by the Sony’s more than sufficient for any activity. The wireless charging case also extends this by a further 16 hours. Clever features like Quick Attention and Speak-To-Chat both allow you to have a conversation without removing the earbuds – great for a mid-run chat.

5- Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds

They’re lightweight and we have no issues listening for hours at a time. For the average commute or exercise session (the Quiet Comforts are both sweet and weather-resistant) they are great to live with and they feel like a quality product too. Battery life is six hours from a single charge, with the charging case supplying an extra two charges, making 18 hours in total – decent, but by no means class-leading. Being able to customize some features and controls, and adjust the excellent noise-cancellation in the companion app, enhances ease of use.

6- Panasonic RZ-S500W

Panasonic isn’t a brand that immediately springs to mind when you think of sports headphones. But perhaps it should be.

These are its first true wireless models, and they’re very impressive. Specs are thorough, with noise-cancelling tech, an Ambient Mode, twin mics for voice calls, and a battery life that totals 19.5 hours (6.5hrs from the buds and 13hrs from the charging case). And a 15-minute USB-C quick-charge can deliver 70 minutes of playback. The touch controls on each bud are responsive and intuitive, allowing you to control your music and switch between noise-cancelling modes with zero fuss. You also get five sizes of ear tips to help with fit. We found this a little hit and miss, so we would definitely experiment and consider mixing the sizes. Both noise cancelling and sound quality are excellent. Music sounds clear and there’s a great deal of refinement on show, while bass is deep and detailed. To sum up, these Panasonic sports headphones are superb for the money. A great buy on a budget.
