Best overall
Beats Powerbeats Pro 2
$249.99
•
Best Buy
If you want one pair that excels at both running and lifting, this is the safest pick. It has secure ear hooks that stay put during sprints and HIIT, active noise cancellation (ANC), transparency mode, and excellent battery life. Multiple expert reviews rank it among the best workout earbuds available.

Great alternatives
Soundcore Sport X20
$70.39 · Target
A strong value choice with adjustable ear hooks, effective ANC, IP68 water/dust resistance, and a price well below most premium competitors. Great if you want secure fit without spending $200+.
SoundGuys
+1
Shokz OpenFit Air
$119.99 · Target
Ideal if you run outdoors and want to hear traffic, cyclists, or other people. The open-ear design sacrifices some bass and isolation but is one of the safest options for road running.
Live Science
+1
Other excellent picks
Apple users: AirPods Pro (or the latest AirPods Pro generation) if you prioritize seamless iPhone integration and also use them outside the gym. They don't lock in quite as securely as ear-hook designs during intense workouts.
The Wall Street Journal
+1
Budget: JLab Go Air Sport — excellent value with ear hooks, though sound quality and ANC are more basic.
JLab Go Air Sport
$24.99 · Target
Which should you buy?
If you want... Recommendation
Best overall for running + gym Beats Powerbeats Pro 2
Best under ~$100 Soundcore Sport X20
Best for outdoor running safety Shokz OpenFit Air
Best for iPhone ecosystem AirPods Pro
Cheapest solid option JLab Go Air Sport
A few buying tips:
Look for at least IPX4 water resistance; IP66/IP68 is even better if you sweat heavily or run in the rain.
Ear hooks or wings generally stay in place better than standard earbuds during fast running.
ANC is great for gyms but transparency/open-ear modes are preferable for outdoor runs where awareness matters.
If you tell me your budget (for example, under $75, under $150, or no limit) and whether you use iPhone or Android, I can narrow it down to the best option for your setup.
