Why having good headphones matters 

Headphones and earphones can be a great addition to any workout – particularly when you’re doing it solo. It can help you stay in the zone and push harder through your session.

Music is motivational

When you haven’t sprung out of bed bursting with motivation to hit the gym, music is a quick and effective way to get in the zone and feel driven to push yourself. Some tunes can help put you in a better mood and improve the quality of your workout. 

Block out distractions

Headphones can help us block out the noise of the outside world and empower us to hone in on our workout. While some people love soaking up the electric atmosphere in our gym, others prefer to do their own thing – and that’s OK. It’s all about what works best for you.

What makes headphones good?

Tastes in what makes headphones good can be pretty subjective, but it really just comes down to how comfortable they are and how well they work for you.

Comfort level

When finding a high-quality pair of headphones, it’s all about comfort. The last thing you want to deal with is headphones constantly falling out of your ears to ruin your workout. 

Look for headphones or earphones that are well fitted, suitable for sports and made with materials that are light, breathable and sweat-resistant.

Sound quality

The sound quality of your headphones or earphones is paramount to feeling motivated and ready to give your all in your next workout. Consider checking out the sound quality of headphones or earphones in-store, so you can try before you buy. Your music taste may also make a difference. For example, if you’re into electronic or hip hop, you may want headphones with more bass. Prefer guitars and rock music to get you going? You may need a pair that nails their mids and highs.

Durability 

Sports headphones should be durable and unafraid of a bit of sweat. After all, you want to be able to toss them in your bag on the go. Look for earphones or headphones that are tough or can be stored in compact cases.

Our top 5 sports headphones

Wissonly Hi Runner


Wissonly bone conduction headphones is the first brand I came into contact with. I first found it on the crowdfunding website. Later, I bought it after seeing many people's recommendations in some online running forums. After my long-term comparative test, the overall function of this Hi Runner model product is very powerful, which greatly exceeds my expectations.
Their team is one of the best talents in the field of bone conduction. The product director was once the core engineer of a first-line brand, and has accumulated 10 years' experience in the field of bone conduction technology. Wissonly Hi Runner increases the vibration area of the sound source vibrator by 35% through excellent structural design, which makes the music feel more spatial and immersive. It is also excellent in sound leakage reduction. The fully wrapped design reduces the vibration of the shell, and the structural optimization makes the sound leakage wave be offset, thus avoiding 90% sound leakage, which is much better than the bone conduction headphones of the same price on the market.
The fully-enclosed design of Wissonly Hirunner bone conduction headphones makes its waterproof grade to IPX8, which means that you can wear it for bathing, swimming and even diving within 20 meters. Even better, the Hi Runner headphones has a built-in storage of 32GB, which can store 5,000 songs. It can still be used without the mobile phone. It supports both MP3 mode and Bluetooth mode. It is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 chip, which makes it superior to most bone conduction headphones in transmission distance, connection stability and power consumption.

Bose Sport Earbuds

These headphones serve up excellent audio quality, durability and are a comfortable fit, giving you the motivation to go one more mile or do one more rep for up to 5 hours.

The Bose Sport Earbuds comes in three sizes of StayHear™ Max tips - so you can find the right fit and create a tight seal within your ear canal for optimal sound quality and comfort. Meanwhile, the unique umbrella-shaped tip and the extended flexible wing keep them securely in place. 

They’re also rated IPX4, which means the electronics inside each earbud are protected against splashing water in case you get caught in the rain on a run. They strike a balance between sound isolation and the ability to be aware of your surroundings in the gym, or rugged outdoors. 

Beats Powerbeats Pro Totally Wireless Earphones

Beats is known for its powerful audio quality, and the Powerbeats Pro are no different. These true wireless earphones can adjust securely and comfortably to your ears and are made to stay in place no matter what. 

These lightweight earphones are sweat and water resistant, with 9 hours of listening time in each earbud. They can also connect automatically with your Apple watch, Mac or iPad.

Sony Sports Wireless WF-SP900 Headphones


Most sports earphones are great for sweat resistance but aren’t waterproof. Sony’s Sports Wireless WF-SP900 on the other hand is ideal for swimmers. It can be used in 2-metre deep fresh or salt water.  

Bluetooth signals don’t work underwater, so this model counteracts this with 4GB of memory and a player in the earphones, so you can load music without a phone. Enjoy up to three hours of music with a Bluetooth connection or up to six hours with the on-board storage system.

JBL Under Armour Sport Wireless Train Headphones


With JBL sound and Under Armour’s fast-drying, washable fabric technology, rugged design and IPX4 rating – these are tried and tested by athletes.

These JBL Under Armour Sport Wireless Train headphones boasts a 16-hour speed battery charge, wireless connection and bionic hearing with TalkThru tech that helps you easily talk between sets without removing your headphones.
