Best Wireless Workout Headphones for Running and the Gym

Workout Headphones That Will Actually Stay in Your Ears — Finally!

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

When it comes to workouts — particularly solo ones — headphones are non-negotiable. Sweating it out with your favourite playlist definitely helps you to zone out while you push yourself through your session. But working out with headphones that are constantly falling out of your ears is not only a buzz kill, but a total workout ruiner.

To be certain you never suffer through another workout in a dodgy-headphone-induced rage, we rounded up our favourite headphones that will stay in while you exercise. From wireless to wired, and ones that sit in the ear and out, we discovered 13 different types of headphones that will help you rock (or dance through) your workout.

Sony Sports Wireless WF-SP900 Headphones

Sony's headphones are extremely reliable, plus they're beautiful to boot, and the WF-SP900 Wireless Headphones (£250) are no different. They're waterproof (so perfect for swimmers), dustproof, plus 4GB of on-board storage, which means you don't have to be connected to a device to listen to your favourite music while you sweat. They also come in three colours — black, white, and yellow.

Adidas Sport Headphones

Adidas recently released two different designs of sport headphones in collaboration with Young Industries. The great news is, they've both been designed especially for workouts, with an over-ear design specifically for HIIT training (£139), and an in-ear version for runners (£129). Both have fast USB-C charging, are sweat proof, and are super chic.

Urbanears Luma

The Urbanears Luma Wireless Headphones (£80) are as convenient as they are cute. They come in four different colours, and are a similar shape and size to Apple's AirPods. The great thing about these ones are they're super lightweight, and the charging case will fully charge the headphones five times on a single charge. Available from July 30.

Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones

These Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones (£129) are sweat- and weather-resistant, meaning they can withstand a supersweaty cardio sesh or a run in the rain. With six hours of battery life, you'll definitely get through a long run (or two), while the "StayHear+ Sport tips create a gentle seal" to improve sound quality and secure the buds in place in your ears.
