These 22 models passed our tests, but some rose above the rest.
For the sake of making useful comparisons, we segmented our test pool into three categories: truly wireless; truly wireless with a hook over the ear; and wire-connected, which means there’s a wire or band connecting the two earbuds to each other. We also added a fourth category of cheap earbuds—under $50. Here’s what to expect from each type .These buds have neither connecting wires nor hooks that extend around your ear; you just push them in and go.
And because isolating you from 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 scores 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
