The 7 Best Wireless Earbuds for Running

Whether you're a seasoned athlete training for an upcoming event or like to go for a jog now and then, a good pair of sports-oriented wireless earbuds can make all the difference in your exercise routine. While many runners prefer going truly wireless, having a cable between your earbuds can be a benefit when you're working out in the gym. Truly wireless earbuds eliminate the annoying rustling sound you hear when a cable brushes against your shirt, also called microphonics. However, if you're receiving instructions from a coach or want to talk with a friend, it's much easier to let your earbuds hang around your neck while not in use.

Another nice video, thanks Rtings and Vanessa. Beats Powerbeats Pro looks good, I might get one for myself.

As great as they are, one contemporary problem with the Jaybird Vista 2 is that getting a pair of them, and trying to get support, may prove to be difficult: Logitech seemingly shut the Jaybird brand down a couple years ago, and they're not made anymore without any sign of a successor on the horizon. A real bummer, because they were fantastic.

I have personally tried quite a few of these and would actually prefer Jabra elite 8 active to all of them. I'm looking forward to your review of the recently announced Gen 2s.
