Not sure if it’s just me, but my AirPods Pro right earbud always tends to fall out during pressing movements on the bench, like dumbbell chest presses or skull crushers. Planning to upgrade to over-ear headphones.

OnePlus nord buds 3.

Good noise cancellation. Decent pricing. Good sound quality.

My budget is under 1k 

I've been using the Realme Buds Air 7 for the gym, and they’ve been solid. Got them for ₹2,970 with bank discounts, and honestly, they tick all the right boxes:

Fit is great, especially if you have small ears. Once I found the right ear tip size, they stayed put—even on the treadmill.

IP57 rating, so sweat or water isn’t an issue.

Battery lasts ages (they claim 50 hours, and I’ve barely had to charge them).

ANC is surprisingly good for the price—cuts down on gym noise so I can focus.

Bass is strong, and Bluetooth 5.3 keeps the connection solid.

For under 3K, I don’t think you’ll get a better mix of fit, sound, and durability. If your main concern is them staying in your ears while running, these should work well

Soundcore Sport X20. $50 on Amazon right now. I compared them to the JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 and the X20 is better in every way.

Samsung buds fe are really good as well. I have tried running in these as well as weight training and they stay in place without having to adjust them. They have really good ANC and bass for its price. Very underrated buds.

You've picked some great options already. I mostly recommend the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds or the Technics AZ-80 both are solid choices and excellent for the gym.

I can vouch for the fit pro, those things are beasts in and out of the gym. Unless you hate the wingtips feeling, get those. Sound quality is bass forward but clear, anc is good, transparency is amazingly clear, and I’ve never had them fall out

Id avoid buds because sweat will get in them. Even those marketed for sweat resistance have failed me. I now use boneshokz for working out and have had no issues.

Hands down Powerbeats pro. I have both the original and the 2. It is a toss up.

Most people prefer the open buds with hooks for the gym. As these don't completely seal the sound in, best for overall safety as you don't want to be lifting weights and not hear any ambient sounds.

None of the ones you listed are made for this, although you did list a few very good buds with excellent sound quality. The best ones are the AZ100. The Bose has the best anc in its class. The APP2 is great for iPhone integration and sound and features are good, especially call quality, siri use, and seamless connectivity.

Now if you were interested in open buds, the best I have used are the Huawei Free Arc and the Soundcore Openfit 2. Then sound wont be nearly as good as regular buds but they definitely won't fall out while in motion and more comfortable for long term wear.

AirPods Pro 2nd gen seem perfect sweet resistance, stay secure even during heavy lifts, strong bass and transparency mode's great for run. Battery and ANC are solid too.

I have smaller ear canals so really stuggle getting a good fit that doesn't hurt or fall out.

I just got the Jlab Air Pop+ a few weeks ago and they are perfect. The ANC versions are slightly bigger but also still stayed in my ears really well

I recently did an analysis on reddit data on earbuds - basically ranked them according to good/bad comments. The results might be helpful - you can filter by comments about using for gym, ANC etc https://redditrecs.com/wireless-earbuds/

The beats fit pro seems like it might be a good choice if you don't want over ear ones - a lot of people find the wingtip design good for keeping it in place.

Soundcore sport x20 are AMAZING

If you can still find them, Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro.

I’ve seen those id like to give them a try as they have an interesting design. Safety is a big issue which is why I saw the Sony link buds have that hole that claim it’s the best ambient noise earbuds

I absolutely LOVE mine! Battery life is pretty good and sound is decent. I use them all day and forget I have them on most of the time. Totally recommend them for athletes.

I’m partially deaf and my hearing aids have Bluetooth connectivity to play music through them. A bit expensive tho at $8k $AUS 😉

Jabra elite hands down!

One of my best purchases regarding gadgets

Can one wear glasses with them?

Jaybird Vistas. I tried the Jabra Elite Sport, but had two pairs fail in less than a year. Vistas have been rock solid.

soundpeats capsule 3 pro plus

very good sound decent ANC and LDAC support

Soundcore sport x20

Can you tell us your budget and what type of phone you are using?

I have had my Jabra Elite 75t Actives for years now and they’re perfect for sports.

I use them at the gym, running, but also cross-country skiing at temperatures going down to -20C.

Not sure if they sell these anymore, but Jabra’s Active series spans other models too. I think they won’t make any new ones but I vouch for these regardless.

Just bought a CMF Buds 2 Pro and I am very happy with the choice. I listen to electronic music for training and the heavy bass really please me.

Soundcore by Anker

Earfun Air pro 4... 🙏🏽

I have not found any the drown out more noise the the Bose QC Ultra’s

Recently got the Sony WFC510 and am very impressed. Under $100 and they actually sound pretty great. No issues with them falling out or anything else while in the gym. Weights. Treadmill. Track. They are gtg

I previously owned the AirPods Pro 2, which were great for the gym, just like others have mentioned here. However, since I've increased my cardio workouts, I switched to the Powerbeats Pro as they stay in place much better during intense sessions and are more comfortable, especially when sweating.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to drop in and share the earbuds that have been total lifesavers for me during workouts. I've tried a bunch, but these three really stand out for their comfort, durability, and sound quality.
I've gone through a few, but here are my top 3:

• Jabra Elite 8 Active: Super versatile, great for any type of workout.
• Beats Fit Pro: Perfect for gym-to-daily life transitions.
• JLab Go Air Sport: Easy on the wallet but still great quality.

Each has been great in its own way, just depends on what you're after!

Last summer I picked up the Jabra Elite 8 Active, and they've been fantastic. Being someone who tends to sweat a lot during workouts, these headphones have given me no issues whatsoever.

The audio quality is top-notch, they fit snugly and stay in place, and the battery life is impressive. They're the best headphones for the gym I've ever had (and I've tried quite a few).

Definitely recommend them if you're looking for solid workout headphones.

​

Edit: Added a link of a pretty good review I found, discussing all the pros and cons (which I mostly agree with)

Beats fit pro is often recommended for staying snug during workout

If you want more options that are tried and tested i'd look at RedditRecs it aggregates reviews from reddit and uses that data to rank earbuds. And you can read what people are happy / unhappy about for each one.

I got technics AZ80 very recently and for the gym I find them honestly perfect. The noise canceling is great, volume is definitely loud enough and they stay in better than other any earbud I've ever had. They don't fall out when doing literally any exercise, even sprinting and running suicides on a soccer field.

The only points of contention are price or if you need full water/dust proof in which case Jabra is the only other option.

I tossed up Denon perl pro but while I've heard better sound quality they're kinda worse across the board for everything else from what I could read about.

DM me if you want or just reply with questions.

Airpods pro 2

Samsung FE stay in and sound good. Samsung Galaxy Live stay in too.
