We put these wireless earbuds to the test to find the very best ones for you. ere’s what we found:
These buds have neither connecting wires nor hooks that extend around your ear; you just push them in and go. Being compact makes them lightweight, but their small batteries means shorter runtimes, although all of our test models came with charging cases that allow you to juice them up on-the-go. They also tend to be the most expensive. Examples include Apple AirPods, Bose Soundsport Free, and Jabra Elite Active 65t.
And because isolating you from the outside world should lend a clearer sound, we expected better sound quality from earbuds that fit snug in the ear than we did from earbuds that let in a lot of noise. For the best of both worlds, some of the pricier models offer an ambient sound mode, which uses the device’s microphone to bring in outside noise while maintaining a tight fit.
A score of 1 or 2 means an earbud can withstand dripping water; Scores of 3 to 6 mean the buds will survive increasing amounts rainfall for longer periods of time. The gold standard is a score of 7 to 9, meaning the earbud can be submerged in varying depths of water without failing. Most earbuds in this test have an IP rating, and most ratings were IPX4 or above.We checked manufacturer’s claims against our testers’ experience and noted discrepancies where they occurred.
We’ll continually update this roundup with our test impressions of the latest wireless earbuds for runners, and tell us what you think about your buds in the comments. For more of the best new gear for runners, see our
