Best Headphones for Runners in 2020

The Jaybird Vista are our go-to pick for runners. First and foremost, they feature IPX7 water-resistance, which means they'll be able to withstand the most intense workouts and sweat without any issue. Not only that, but they also feature up to 6 hours of battery life on a single charge (buds), with an additional 10 hours of battery life from the included charging case, netting you a total of 16 hours of audio playback.

The Powerbeats Pro offer up to 9 hours of battery life, physical buttons for media controls and Google Assistant, water resistance, and a robust, fun sound signature all in a true wireless earbuds package. The only real downside to them is that the included charging case is ridiculously large and will likely take up your entire pocket.

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

The AirPods Pro includes four and a half hours of battery life on the buds side, with up to 24 hours total with the ultra-portable wireless charging case. They also feature active noise cancelation (ANC), which helps you really focus on your workout and music.

While most neckbud earbuds aren't great for running, the Skullcandy Method breaks that trend. They are super lightweight, comfortable, and are IPX4 rated, which means you'll be able to use them for most light to moderate runs. They feature up to 9 hours of battery life and are super stable and convenient thanks to their neckbud design.

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

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 is exceptional for its class. 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 75t. These come with a two-year warranty against sweat and dust, enhanced wireless tech that allows for fewer music dropouts, up to seven and a half hours of battery, and Jabra built Amazon Alexa right in.
