Like our top pick, these earbuds have stabilizing wings to help keep them in place, and the sealed design and active noise cancellation can block out gym noise, while the hear-through mode allows for occasional situational awareness or conversations between workout sets. The Fit Pro set offers easy pairing and connection swapping to iCloud-connected Apple devices, as well as touch-free “Hey Siri” functionality. If you’re an Apple fan, the Beats Fit Pro set is a worthy (but pricier) alternative to the JBL Reflect Aero TWS pair. If anything goes wrong, JBL covers the Reflect Aero TWS set with a one-year warranty. Although the touch-based controls on this pair are easy to learn and use, we wish that they could adjust volume, playback, noise cancellation, and the hear-through feature inclusively, but unfortunately you’ll have to choose one of those functions to omit.

If you’re an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant user, you’ll love these earbuds’ compatibility with voice-activated assistants. Six microphones help to manage wind noise and ensure clear phone calls, and you can connect these earbuds to two devices simultaneously. Or, if you prefer, you can choose to use only one earbud at a time. The sealed design and active noise cancellation can reduce the noisy gym distractions around you, but should you need to hear your surroundings, a hear-through mode is a tap away. The earbuds produce a mild emphasis in the bass and consonants range that many people prefer, and you can fine-tune the sound via JBL’s mobile app. (Folks who have very small or sensitive ears may find the wings’ pressure fatiguing over time, however.) This pair’s eight hours of battery life is solid for true wireless earbuds, and the pocket-sized case offers up an additional 16 hours of juice. The IP68 water-resistance rating means this pair can handle buckets of sweat, and JBL includes three sets of stabilizing wings to help keep the earbuds in place-so you can choose the fit that grips your ear most comfortably. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS true wireless earbuds are the best workout headphones for the gym because they stay securely in place, they have simple controls, and they’re waterproof and sweatproof.
