The best wireless headphones for running

Wireless headphones are great for when you're hitting the gym, but there are a number of things to consider aside from just sound. From JLab's Epic 2 Wireless Sport Earbuds to Jaybird's X2 Bluetooth Earbuds and the Beats Powerbeats2 Wireless, we've put a dozen plus models to the test and found the best pair to get.

Here are some links to the products you saw in the video:

I don't understand why you'd place audio quality the last on your list of priorities when buying a pair of headphones. Granted that durability and connectivity and battery life are important when it comes to wireless/fitness headphones, but I don't think any of them can overpower the need for great sound.

Also, doesn't JayBird provide lifetime warranty? Isn't that basically gold-standard for durability?

I've got the JayBird Bluebirds X and I have to be honest with you, I couldn't be happier.

Plantronics Backbeat Fit.... My favorite and earphones of choice for working out!!! What a product the company has come up with!

It would be convenient to put links to the products in the description.

The worst thing about these videos is that they are usually sponsored so the top products in the list are not the best but the ones who paid the most $$$

Jaybird X2 and you wont regret it. Had mine for a year and works perfectly fine even the fitting is superb!

I love the plantronic headphone. I have been using them for the last 2 years. I use them while jogging, deadlifts, squating. They're good especially when you get sweaty.

You lost me at saying bad sound was acceptable

[Chubbicat]

here are some things you MUST consider before buying anything:
#1- this video is most likely sponsored.
#2 - Do not buy air pods or beats. they are a total scam.
#3- Just because the product you get is expensive doesn't always mean it's better.
#4- Make sure to read specs about the product you want to buy.
#5- Sound quality *always* matters.

You can pick up decent stylish and functional wireless earphones for under 20$ if you don't care about the brand.




#6- you shouldn't care about the brand

the interior decor in that property is pretty nice and having her sit on that sofa is just what any man/woman wants to see when they get home from a run.

Um I have the jaybird x2's and they are amazing. They actually sound good. I would say they are the best sport earbuds/headphones out there.

i just love the 'this is my next' series, absolutely fantastic work guys!

I've thrown my apple headphones in the washer and they still work perfectly

I've been using Samsung Level U for more than six months now and I'm more than happy with them. Be it sound, base, battery life, portability, exercising etc. I'm really surprised how they hold up my sweaty neck on heavy work outs for, as far as I heard, they are not waterproof. But looks like water resistant though. They held up great and the battery life gotten better over time.
I can't believe it's not even in the list of best bluetooth headsets mentioned or shown in this video.
I'm having a great time at the gym using Samsung Level U headphones or ear phones and I'm not gonna look for other options anytime soon, unless they are ground breaking..!

[dinckelman]

Jaybird X2 or even the Bluebuds X. End of discussion

[mihirkumar]

One pair costs $99 and the other $76. What ever happened to tech channels talking about cheaper quality products? Because as you mentioned yourself, these are going to get beaten up.

she is the best reviewer The Verge has right now.

[noahgoldowitz]

The Verge gotta know how dope it is watching her workout.

[Halljand]

I really like the Yurbuds Freedoms personally. They stay in my ears :)

The plantronics have last me a couple of years. There was no learning curve for me. I love these.
