Best workout headphones 2020: The best running and exercise earphones to buy
When looking for the best running headphones or for the gym, priorities are slightly different to when you're searching out the best headphones for casual listening.
Headphones for exercise need to be comfortable and secure fitting as well as being sweat resistant. This is important as sweat is really bad for electronics.
With that said, that means the best sports earphones are the ones that will stay in your ears, are lightweight and are comfortable to wear when you're a sweaty mess pounding your feet against tarmac.
It also helps a lot if there's plenty of bass pumping to keep you driving on. So without further ado, let's check out the best headphones for running, the gym and general exercise.
Our top recommendations
Beats Powerbeats Pro

The previous generation Powerbeats earphones were one of our top recommendations and now Beats have reinvented the earphone and got rid of the wire, resulting in an even better pair of workout earphones.
It starts with the new, refined shape. The curves and angles are a lot softer and more ergonomic than the Powerbeats 3 Wireless, everything from the over-ear hook through the ear tips and the angle of the casing has been adjusted to ensure that they fit as comfortably as is possible. They're light too, so when they're in your ears, not only do they fit very securely, but you can barely tell that they're there.
Obviously, the lack of a cable or tether between the two earbuds also means there's a much better sense of freedom, and no annoying cable tapping on the back of your neck during runs.
With the seal combined with a bass reflex hole, it ensures you get really great sound across the highs, mids and bass, but also the airflow means you don't ever get that pressurised feel that is often so prominent while wearing in-ears. The only disadvantage to the bass reflex vent is that it means you don't get complete isolation from the noise around you.
Battery life is, quite frankly, insane for a pair of wire-frees, with the Powerbeats Pro capable of lasting up to 9 hours of constant music listening outside the case, and then having two further full charges from being docked.
You also get the Apple H1 chip, which means extra convenience for iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac users. It's really easy to pair, and then automatically paired across any other Apple device logged in with the same iCloud account.
All things considered, right now, these certainly seem like the best workout headphones you can get.
