Top 10 Workout Best Headphones For Lifting – 2023 Buying Guide (Bluetooth, Wired, On-Ear and More)

by Nader Qudimat
Updated January 5, 2023

I think you would agree that…

There is no such thing as the best pair of headphones.

Each pair comes with different features, pricing, and sound quality.

Some have better bass, some have better clarity and clear mids and highs.

And some have great overall sound with no issues in balance.

Then there's wireless, over-the-ear, on-ear, and all kinds of ear action going on.

This guide will help you decide which headphone is best suited for you.

We mixed in the final overall top 10 list with Bluetooth and wired headphones so you can decide which you'd prefer to use.

We have several categories (on-ear, wired, etc) so you can choose according to your preferences like how we did with our pre workout guide.

Instead of having separate lists, we've combined the best headphones from each category into one top 10 list.

Here's a quick breakdown of our previous rankings:

In-ear, on-ear, over-ear.

They are further broken down to wireless, wired, and true wireless.

Over the ear headphones cover the ears but they come with the downside heat-build up.

In ears are our favorite but they can be uncomfortable for long periods of use.

Combine wireless earbuds with a smartwatch with built-in storage, and you have music without even requiring your smartphone anywhere near you.

If you're wondering whether to get wireless or wired, consider that you'll need your smartwatch or MP3 player to be on you, or in your pockets, with wired headphones.

Wireless lets you be free in that sense and there are no issues with wires being pulled away while bench pressing or during pull-ups (we've been there, done that!).

Music is what saves us from the distractions.

It helps us reach that level of complete zen-like focus we need in the gym.

When good beats are combined with exercise, it brings us more motivation and energy than ever before.

With the right tunes you've got yourself the most exciting time of your day…

Your workout.

But nothing is worse than headphones falling out of our ears, or just plain old crappy headphones that don't do isolate much background noise. 

Imagine you're about to do an intense set but your headphones slip out of your ears or your MP3 player (most likely your phone) falls out out of your pocket. 

That wouldn't happen with wireless headphones.

Pair wireless headphones with a smartwatch (like the rugged and durable Garmin Vívoactive 3) that can play and hold up 500 songs, and you have yourself a truly free and wireless listening experience that allows you to jump and flip without worries of dropping your phone or tugging on cables. 

Or the Samsung Frontier which can double as your wallet as it has Samsung Pay (enables you to use your credit card at any traditional credit card scanner).

The right pair of headphones need to stick in your ears, hang on for dear life and not fall out when performing your most intense set of the workout.

Some people prefer wired, some wireless.

Then there's on ear, over ear, and in ear headphones.  

We'll list all the categories to help you find your next pair.

If you just want the overall top 10 list, jump to the very bottom of this guide!

These headphones are not only great for the gym but any sort of physical activity.

For the best results, combine these headphones with your favorite music, a strong mindset and a good program like this one.

 

Best Workout Headphones

Jabra Elite 75T

$179.99

Key features

7.5 battery life

Specification:

Brand     Jabra

7.5 hour use
15 minute charge for 1 hour of playback
Can pair to multiple devices simultaneously
None

Previously, we had the Jabra 65T which were great but 75T is a worthy upgrade.

The 75t rock ANC (active noise cancelling) and it can pair to multiple devices simultaneously. 

Sound Quality

Bass is strong that leaves a bit of muddiness in the sound signature but overall it is satisfying to play while working out. 

They don’t have the deep bass that SoundSport or Jaybird X3’s offers but if you’ve tried true wireless earbuds before, you’ll be impressed with these.

If you can find a secure fit, which shouldn’t be a problem for most people, then you’ll also be able to isolate background noise, leaving you alone with the hard hitting tunes of your music.

Customizable Sound And Fit

With the Sound+ app, you can adjust the EQ settings to your preference, you’ll probably change it often if you switch genres, which is expected.

While the Elite 75t does not come with foam tips, the different sized silicone tips allow you to customize your fit easily.

If you have small ears, they can get uncomfortable especially when worn for long periods of time.

Active Version

There is a active version of these headphones, the Elite 75t Active which have IP57 but the IP55 rating that the regular version has should be more than enough as it is already water and dust resistant and comes with a 2 year warranty.

Original Version

If you don’t care for the IP57 rating and just need true wireless headphones that has decent sound and fitting, then you may want to look at the regular Jabra 75t version.

Possibly The Best True Wireless Earbuds

No matter what genre you listen to, the 75t will impress you with it’s balanced sound signature and will last you for years with regular use.

It has Bluetooth 5.0 so it’s recommended that you have a recent phone to pair this with for the best possible experience.

If you don’t care for noise isolation and have the budget for something within the same budget, then go for the Airpods but if you do get Airpods, then get the earwings to make it securely fit.

All in all, the Jabra 75t’s have the best overall features for the hardcore lifter who wants the complete wireless experience.

With a heavy focus on design, Beats headphones have always distinguished themselves and this pair is no exception.

Sporting a wireless, low profile design, Beats touts these as high-performance workout earphones made to withstand buckets of sweat.

Powerbeats take freedom of connectivity to the next level with it’s W1 wireless chip and unlike most true wireless earbuds, each earbud can be powered and used independently.

Specifically made for lifters and fitness enthusiasts alike, these earbuds provide the true wireless experience for your workouts.

Sound And Quality

​If you’re familiar with the Beats sound signature, you'll appreciate these a bit more as the bass is much more tuned and refined on the Powerbeats Pro.

Vocals are deeper and more detailed which compliments the listening experience.

The treble is a bit more sharp than it should be but that is the only downside to the sound.

While offering powerful bass, the sound is still clear, crisp and dynamic.

Battery Life

​Powerbeats Pro provides a nine-hour battery life and fast charging capabilities giving you extra 1.5 hours of use with just a 5-minute charge.

The case has an additional 24-hour charging-ability but that comes at the cost of less portability with the large carrying case.

​Sleek Design With Snug Fit

​Their light-weight and adjustable design is meant to provide you with a comfortable yet secure fit.

Beats utilize a hook mechanic so they never fall out of your ears.

These don’t stand out on your ears as much and can be used seamlessly between workouts and everyday life.

​Sweat Proof And Water Resistant

​No matter how sweaty you get during a high impact routine, the Powerbeats Pro won’t give you any moisture-related issues, such as slipping off or impacting sound quality.

Although not entirely waterproof, they can handle a splash or two for runners who might not want their training to be dampened by rain.

On Android, it’ll require you to pair each earbud separately.

Downsides

Aside from the price tag which is to be expected from a pair of Beats, the case is quite bulky for its other counterparts.

And noise isolation isn’t up to par and achieving it means raising loudness to unsafe levels.

The ridiculously large carrying case might be an issue for portability but the charging compatibilities will soon make you forget about it’s size.

​Summary

Powerbeats Pro are a step forward within the earphone market providing a mix of comfort and sound.

The impressive battery life and (super large) case-charger, it can help ensure an uninterrupted experience free from hassle.

If you’re an Apple user, these earbuds are a premium solution to your wireless listening needs, but if you’re an Android user, you’ll just be as happy with these than with most earbuds.

They don't go too deep in your ears but the noise isolation isn't too great.

These are one of the most comfortable headphones to get, and the durability is good.

Fairly affordable
Minimal but luxurious look
Suited for bass-heavy sounds
​​Earpads help to provide noise cancellation
22-hour battery life
Logo is hard to find
Padding may cause discomfort
Digital noise experienced during treble

SkullCandy Hesh 3 is a great budget option for a quality pair of over the ear headphones.

They compete with premium headphones with its solid and minimal build, sound quality and battery life.

SkullCandy keeps things plain and simple with Hesh 3 as the logo is fairly hidden and the build design is super minimal, which makes them look more expensive than it should be.

​Sound ​Quality

​If you’ve tried any headphones from SkullCandy, then you’ll already know have excellent and well balanced.

While it thumps with bass, it isn’t overwhelming.

Vocals may sound a bit underpowered due to the bass but the highs are detailed as you would expect them to be from SkullCandy.

If you’re not an audiophile and like bass-heavy songs without distortion at higher volumes, then you’ll enjoy these.

Hesh 3 isolates noise quite well.

The comfortable ear pads isolate outside sounds so all you hear is the music that you play and they clamp on tighter than your average over the ear headphones.

Battery Life

​This is where the Hesh 3 competes with premium competitors with a huge battery life of 22 hours.

It goes further to provide users with rapid charge functionality. You can add 4 hours of juice with a simple 10-minute charge.

Minimalist Design

​Hesh 3 has a minimal design but yet it looks like a product from a luxury brand.

It has only 3 buttons for controlling volume, playing or pausing a song or answering a call.

The headset is adjustable, lightweight and comfortable.

They also collapse on themselves making them compact enough to be tucked away while travelling.

Downsides

​The earpads provide suction for noise isolation; however, they ultimately may result in comfort issues.

The tight clamping force from the padding will have a strain on your ears.

Additionally, the headphones are generally suited for bass-heavy music, while the treble notes may be accompanied with digital noise.

It is also more fragile than you average pair of headphones due to the plastic materials used in its build.

If you’re prone to dropping and banging up your headphones, then you should most likely consider another option.

Affordable But Expensive Looking Headphones

​If you’re looking for an affordable over the ear headphones with all the basics and expensive look, then the Hesh 3 is a good option.

Its battery power is perhaps its biggest benefit—especially when you consider the set can be used with a wire when desired.

No matter how active you are, these clamp on tight which makes them the perfect option for bodybuilders and athletes.

How To Choose Workout Headphones

It’s overwhelming, isn’t it?

There are so many headphones.

With categories like wireless, wired, on ear, in ear and more…none of them are one size fits all.

If you choose to go wireless, you won’t get the same quality as you would with wired.

And on ear headphones may be too bulky for some.

Wired just sounds better at less cost.

But with wireless technology improving rapidly, it becomes difficult to notice much of difference between sound quality when it comes to wireless headphones.

Here are some factors you need to consider before buying any headphones…

Fit And Comfort:

Headphones and earbuds come in different sizes and weight.

Different ear sizes requires different earbud tips and sizes.

Earbuds, even the budget ones, come with different size ear tips that lets you customize it’s fitting.

Most on-ear headphones fit and cover ears comfortably without needing to change anything.

Try on the headphones if you can or check if there’s a return policy that allows you to return them if they don’t fit comfortably.

They should stay in your ears even if you’re going through the motions of an intense workout.

Headphones specifically made for sports are made to stay in your ears by using different designs like ear hooks, comply ear tips, strong clamping force if they are on ear.

Sweat And Moisture Resistance:

One of the most common ways for headphones to stop working is it’s poor resistance to sweat and moisture.

You’re working out when you’re wearing headphones so it needs to be resistant to moisture.

Electronics can easily be damaged with sweat.

Depending on the headphones, it should indicate that it is sweat resistant on some level.

Some earbuds feature a certified IPX rating, which means that it’s been tested against moisture.

If it has a rating of IPX7 or higher, then it come be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes.

But if it’s IPX6 or lower, then it’s basically protected against sweat.

IPX1 is the lowest protection level you can get against sweat.

Noise Isolation:

The gym can be a noisy place.

Grunts, iron clanking, chatters and sometimes even shouting if you’re unlucky.

It’s safe to guess you’re looking for something that can block outside noise so you can perform at full focus and motivation.

Some headphones let more noise than others.

Like Bose SoundSports does not block any outside noise but they are made for the gym and sound great.

If you’re lifting at your own home gym or the outdoors or at a quiet gym if you’re lucky, noise isolation probably won’t matter to you and SoundSport would be a great recommendation for you.

Jabra Elite 75T are not only truly wireless but they also block outside noise perfectly if you’re playing music at 50% volume or more.

Durability:

If you’re lifting and actively moving in an intense manner, you need to have headphones that are built to sustain bumps and drops.

The headphones we feature vary in durability, but most of them can handle drops and bumps fine.

True wireless earbuds are very light and will probably be fine if they are dropped and it’s further protected in their charging cases.

Consider the return period and the warranty it comes with, in case you want to return the headphones or end up damaging them.

Most of the time it’s easy to determine the durability by both reviews and the material it’s built with.

Most of the time it’s easy to determine the durability by both reviews and the material it’s built with.

Form Factor:

Depending on your preferences, you may want over-the-ear headphones over earbuds for comfort.

Big headphones can get in the way as they can be bulky.

Smaller earbuds are sometimes uncomfortable after some periods of wearing them.

With so many options, it should depend on what you prefer.

Most earbuds will have different sized ear tips and material types to allow for customized fitting.

However there are some advantages with on ear headphones as they don’t require much customization and is almost always a one size fits all design.

Are Wireless Workout Headphones Better Than Wired?

The last thing you want in the gym is a bunch of wires tangling around your arms.

Nothing is worse than having to adjust your headphones in the middle of your set.

But with wireless technology improving, music quality is not much of an issue with Bluetooth headphones and price isn’t as bad as it once was for a decent pair.

Bluetooth headphones are still more expensive than wired headphones, and they come with a few downsides like:

  • Batteries Need Charging And They Can Degrade Overtime
  • Sometimes Requires A Proprietary Charging Cable (Like Jaybirds Or True Wireless Headphones Have Their Own Cable / Charging Case)

Though these upsides can cause problems in the long run like shorter battery life, the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages:

  • You Don’t Have Wires Dangling Down Your Neck.
  • Music Device Can Be Around 30 Feet Away From You
  • Generally More Lightweight Than Wired Headphones

The fact that you don’t need to carry around wires while you listen to music is a big advantage and something most people can appreciate.

Though, wired headphones are constantly improving with tangle free cords and come with greater reliability at a cheaper cost.

It boils down to personal preference.

You can’t go wrong with Bluetooth headphones and the popularity of them are only increasing.

If you do get wireless earbuds, then you should consider the battery life and how long you plan to use them for.

If they last for 4-8 hours, then they probably won’t need to be charged more than once a week if you only use them for workouts.

Jabra Elite 65t’s for example last for 5 hours and the charging case have 10 hours of charging time.

What ​Workout ​Headphones ​Should ​You ​Avoid?

When you’re working out, you need to depend on quality electronics to withstand drops and bumps.

Buying expensive headphones and only to have it break after a few workouts is likely not something you want to experience.

And when it comes to price, expensive doesn’t always mean high quality build and sound.

Take Epic 2 earbuds for example, they have an issue with durability and they are priced near what premium headphones sell at.

Sennheiser makes good headphones but their CX Sport seems to be suffering from poor connectivity, making them a hit or a miss.

Both Plantronics BackBeat FIT 300/305 and Beats PowerBeats3 have durability issues that might improve in the near future, but for now they should both be avoided until they’ve improved on it.
