For buyers that really want to stretch their dollars, it's hard to do much better than Senso's headphones. You'll find deep bass, clear treble, and a seriously impressive battery that lasts up to eight hours on one charge. There's even an IPX7 water resistance rating and a 1-year warranty.

Truly wireless earbuds are getting better all the time, and Samsung's Gear IconX are among the best. There's up to five hours of battery life, customizable eartips, good audio, and even built-in fitness tracking!

The Mpow Flame are among the cheapest headphones on our list, but don't let the small price tag fool you. For less than $20, Mpow offers headphones with IPX7 water resistance, 7-9 hours of battery, multiple colors, and a snug fit in the ear.

Phaiser struck a winning balance of offering a ton of great features while keeping things affordable. The 10mm speakers offer great sound for the price, the sweat-proof design is great for all sorts of runs, and you get a lifetime warranty for your purchase.

If you often find yourself running on a busy street, it might be worth getting AfterShokz bone-conducting headphones. By vibrating your cheekbones, you can listen to all of your music in high-quality glory while leaving your ears open to hear traffic and other potential hazards.

The Bose SoundSport Wireless are easily the best-sounding headphones on this list. The sound that comes out of these really is amazing, and along with that, you'll also get up to six hours of battery and a sweat- and water-resistant design.

Another good truly-wireless pair of headphones is the Jabra Elite Active 65T. These come with a 2-year warranty against sweat and dust, enhanced wireless tech that allows for fewer music dropouts, up to five hours of battery, and Amazon Alexa is built right in.
