Over-ear headphones can deliver comfort, performance and a sturdy fit for runners at any level
Fit and Design:
Earbuds are a popular workout choice since they fit so well in the ear, but the best on-ear and over-ear headphones can be just as secure for running. Consider how long you’re going to be running for, which may help narrow down your choice even further. If you care more about getting totally immersed in sound during your run, choose over-ear headphones .You don’t want your headphones to die in the middle of a run, so battery life matters.
Want total immersion during your workout? The 700s have eight microphones with feed ambient noise from the outside into your ears along with your music, creating a transparency mode that rivals the AirPod Pro. We recommend them if you want a completely distraction-free run that’s just focused on the music—not only do they feature 11 active noise cancellation modes, but you can connect to Spotify and discover new music by tapping and holding the earcup.
But there are a few tradeoffs to killer sound: the 700s only list an IPX4 rating, which is will hold up fine to sweat, but might not be able to handle if you get caught in a sudden downpour. They’re also a fairly heavy option, weighing in at 8.8 ounces, so they’d work better for short runs than marathon training.
Though they may not be as streamlined as some of our other picks, they’re a worthy choice if you’re an audiophile that wants to get the most out of their workout playlist.
