"I prefer over-ear headphones and bought the Adidas RPT 01. They are headphones made for working out. I

"If you're after headphones that don't fall out when running and don't block out ambient sound, it has to be Aftershokz."

"100%. I had the Trekz Titanium ones for about 2 years and recently upgraded to their Aeropex. The new ones are incredible. You don't even feel them."

"Aftershokz. Stay on, comfortable, don't block outside noises (bikes, other runners etc), sound fine, decent charge/playing time."

"The superior answer. Amazing comfort, great sound, incredible battery life, and you can still hear your surroundings for safety. Absolute no brainer, the best running headphones."

"I have used my aftershocks for marathon training and for the race and I hardly even notice them other than they are playing music."

"Ive seen suggestions for Afterskokz OpenRun Pros as well as cheaper ones such as Jlab Go Air Sports."

"This list below recommends pixel buds pro"

"Ive seen suggestions for Afterskokz OpenRun Pros as well as cheaper ones such as Jlab Go Air Sports."

"AirPods Pro with Comply foam tips. By far the best setup I’ve ever used."

"I love my Bose earphones!!! I sweat a lot and most brands fall out. These fit well and never fall out. Yes they are pricey, but better than buying several. I've had mine for over 3 years."

"Have you tried the little adapters that you can buy on Amazon to stop them falling out? They definitely did work for me, however, I'm always bothered by the rain (in the UK) and so have switched to Aftershokz for running. I still use the airpod pros but never for running now."

"Excellent battery life"

"Excellent noise-cancelling"

"Excellent sound quality"

"Around $200 is probably a good budget for your requirements. If you go over $200, you're mostly paying for better ANC and battery life, usually at the cost of ergonomics. Don't go over $300. If you go over $300, all you're paying for is brand name, at the cost of decreased performance by all metrics."

"Earfun Free Pro 2 or Soundcore Life A2 NC have great sound, are comfortable, have wings to stay in place while exercising. EFP2 has a really small case, SC case could stand to be much smaller, and is one of the only 'cons' for them. Both are well under your budget."

"I'd say Galaxy Buds Pro or Buds 2 are the best fit for your criteria, and their sound quality is pretty much on par with the N400. The main downside is that they don't have an app for iOS. Airpods Pro could also work, though again, you don't get full functionality on Android."

"The APEKX Bluetooth Headphones with Charging Case are the ultimate in wireless earbuds. Charge them, take them on the go, and listen to the music you love."

"At a time when the audio quality of many headphones is lacking, DACOM's latest Bluetooth Headphones are perfect for listening to music and keeping your ears safe. Now you can get rid of those cheap, uncomfortable headphones that are too long for your face!"

"The Lakukom Bluetooth Headphones are the best-pair of ear headphones. With up to 16 hours of battery life and IPX7 water resistance, you can take them to the beach and enjoy your swimwear during your race."

"Let me just say I love aftershokz. I’ve had a pair of one kind of another for as long as I can remember. I would never want to be without one. I run and ride solo a lot, and always with aftershokz. With that said, the audio quality is not even on the list of why I use them. As far as sound quality in comparison to every other type of headphones: Open move: D- Air: D Aeropex: D+"

"If you are looking for sound quality, you’ll be extremely disappointed when compared to other $150+ earbuds. I can’t imagine why anyone would rate the sound quality above “fair”."

"If you want to hear sounds for roughly 70% of your ride and be safe doing so, then aftershokz are for you."

"If I had to pick a single set of running headphones from Apple, I’d grab the Beats Fit Pro. They take everything we love in the AirPods 3 and Beats Studio Buds, but cram it all into a tiny set of buds with an ear wing to help them stay put. No matter how sweaty I get, these buds don’t budge, and they don’t ache when you get up to an hour or 90 minutes of running. Like the Studio Buds, you still get the delightful tactile buttons that require just a light press to play/pause, two presses to skip, three to go back, and a long press to activate active noise cancellation and transparency modes or Siri. It’s easy to use and there’s no fumbling for small buttons. The coolest feature, however, is one you might have never considered—spatial audio. When you turn your head, the audio rotates so it sounds like the band is in the same spot, just as the sound would change when you swivel your head at a real concert. It’s trippy, at first, so don’t actually trip while you’re running—you get used to the feature quickly. But, it’s not just neat audio effects at play here, as the sound is remarkable for small headphones."

"Jabra has come out with newer headphones for runners, but the Elite Active 75t remains a strong contender on our list because you can usually find it on sale and because Jabra nailed the shape here. Credit that to the angular build that nests snugly in the outer ear canal, without giving you that tightly sealed, high-pressure “thud” with each footstrike. The sound quality is crisp, dynamic, and full—rivaling Apple’s AirPods Pro—but these Jabras will cost you less and offer about 90 more minutes of battery on a single charge. (However, the hear-through mode isn’t quite as impressive.) For dust and water protection, they’re rated IP57, meaning they should withstand a sandstorm or a monsoon. Test Editor Amanda Furrer accidentally ran them through her washing machine twice and they’re still going strong. Competing earbuds

"Don't think they're the 'best', but I've had a pair of Anker Soundbuds"

"Bose Soundsport wireless. perfect. i would pay 1000 USD for them"

"Same. Fantastic headphones"
