When it comes to workouts — especially solo ones — headphones are a must. Killing your workout with your favourite jams in your ears helps to keep that harder, better, faster, stronger mentality in mind.
But working out with headphones that don't stay in, don't play the beats like you need them, and are a source of distraction and irritability can take away from your quest to sweat so good. So, from wireless to wired, and ones that sit in the ear and out, we discovered eight different types of headphones that will help you rock (or dance through) your workout.
Senso Bluetooth Headphones
Known for HD acoustics and a comfortable fit, the Senso Bluetooth headphones ($30) also tout one of the longest battery life spans on the market.
Plantronics BackBeat Fit Bluetooth Headphones
For runners, these Plantronics BackBeat Fit Bluetooth headphones ($48) are waterproof and sweat-proof. The wraparound design is intended to stay snug during your run.
Apple Wired Headset
Sometimes, keeping it simple is the best. The Apple Wired Headset ($25), for those who aren't ready to make the wireless jump yet, are still one of the most comfortable inner-ear headphones on the market, and minimize distractions.
Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones
For beat freaks (or sound engineers!), the Bose SoundSport Wireless headphones ($149) are said to be worth the investment. Providing users with a high-quality audio experience, consistently balanced at any volume, the earphones are also sweat- and weather-proof.
Jabra Move Wireless Stereo Headset
Want to tune out basically everything? The Jabra Move Wireless Stereo headset ($70) is super-light in comparison to similar-style headphones and can also connect to any Bluetooth device.
Skullcandy XT PLYO Headphones
Brightly colored to get you excited for your daily cardio torture, these Skullcandy XT PLYO headphones ($50) are sweat resistant, have a triple lock-tech fit and also feature sound isolation so you can feel free to pump up the jams as loud as you wish.
Jaybird X3 Sport Bluetooth Headphones
With an eight-hour battery life, the Jaybird X3 Sport Bluetooth headphones ($126) allow for personalized sound settings. The silicone ear fins secure to the top and back/lower surface areas of the ear for a snug fit, and they're sweat-proof, too.
Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones
Look like stunna at the gym with the gold version of Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear headphones ($219). The headphones carry 40 hours of battery life, have an adjustable fit, can integrate Siri, and include premium playback and fine-tuned acoustics to maximize clarity, breadth, and balance.
And, if gold isn't your thing, these headphones come in a variety of colors.
