Best Truly Wireless Earbuds for Working Out?

[KingJay]

Brehs, need some truly wireless earbuds for working out and for nothing else. I won't be making calls on them, I won't listen to music in my daily life with them I've got my headphones for that. This is just for workouts so I really don't give a damn about the other features and stuff.

I'm an athlete, there'll be a lot of sprinting, jumping, lifting, etc. so I need them to stay in my ears and be sweat resistant(there'll be a lot of sweat).

After those two simple benchmarks are cleared, it's all about audio quality for me. I'll be playing basically only rap on these to give a sense of the audio profile. My budget is $300.

How would you compare those to the Bose Soundsport Free or PowerBeats?

Just copped the Powerbeats pro.

Preliminary tests seem good.

Will test it in the gym

Never used those. I have the jabras, and theyre great. Theyre made for sweat resistance and the audio is very good. Theres also an app to customize sound. They got very good reviews

Jabara 65t elites are probably what u are looking for. The Bose ones have great sound too.

Bose ones supposedly cut out alot on the left side....

Powerbeats....they got decent sound but they arent the jabra elites.

Galaxy Buds are very comfortable and have good sound.

I finally found my ideal workout earbuds. The Jabra Elite 7 Active. Very small and comfortable. Naturally creates a great seal and blocks out noise to the point where the ANC doesn't even really matter that much but it has that too. I turn on the base boost and just go. The ANC isn't elite tier but it's solid. I own many earbuds but these are my go to. IP57 rating so no worries about sweat. Very small case that's a bytch to open but I got a Spigen Rugged Armor for it that fixes that.

I'm probably gonna have to sell some of these and trim it down to a top 4 because while I use most of them the rotation has gotten too long.
Air Pods Pro
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2
Sony WF-1000XM4
Jabra Elite 85t
Galaxy Buds Pro
Galaxy Buds Live
Galaxy Buds 2
Galaxy Buds+
Powerbeats Pro

I'm gonna get rid of the ones not in bold. My daily drivers are the top 2. Some of these are paired to different devices. The 7 Actives I use with my Apple Watch, The Galaxy Buds I use with the S24 The Apple ones I use with the iPhone and I use the 10 and 8 Active with either phone. The Jabras are usually at the gym.

The PowerBeats Pro 2 came out today. I'm curious but I have too many headphones and earbuds in my rotation. Also just bought the Techincs EAH AZ100.

So which is the #1 pick?

And while you’re at it the best pods that you could conceivably fall asleep with and it hurt your ears

 

[Dillah810]

I use the Galaxy Buds +. According to this review the PowerBeats Pro 2 might be the best ones

For me personally if I had to pick a single earbud set I own for working out I'm going Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2. They're IP68 rated and the case is IP54. That's the best you can do for water and dust resistance on retail buds and even the case is resistant. They sound good and are small and comfortable. negative is no earfins or hooks if they don't fit you well.

For best sound I'm going Technics EAH AZ100. I think the buds are IPX4 so they're ok to sweat in the case isn't rated.

For Apple users the AirPods Pro 2 are a good option with both the case and buds are IPX4 (at least the lightning generation is). They sound solid.

Galaxy Buds+ aren't workout earbuds. They're only IPX2 rated so barely sweat resistant and if they get hit the wrong way they're dead. The only real workout buds from Samsung are the Buds Pro line. I have the Pro 3 and I like them on my S24 but without a Samsung phone I wouldn't bother.
