Best Earbuds for the Gym: Our Top Workout Picks

We've tested dozens of options to bring you our top earbud picks for 2026.

What to Look For

  • Noise Cancellation: Look for adaptive ANC that adjusts to your environment
  • Sound Quality: Consider your preferred sound signature — warm, neutral, or bass-heavy
  • Battery Life: 6+ hours from the buds, 18+ with the case
  • Comfort: Tip fit is crucial for both comfort and ANC
  • Codec Support: LDAC and aptX Adaptive offer higher quality than AAC alone
