Do you needto buy a pair of headphones to take on your fitness goals in 2025? Probably not. But good pair of headphones designed to last through most situations you might throw at them in your workouts can make a difference.
SEE ALSO: CES 2025: Mashable's guide on what to expectIf you're in the market for headphones to come along with you on runs or trips to the gym, we recommend checking out the Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 earbuds, and as of Jan. 3, they're on sale at Best Buy for $169.99. That's a $60 price cut from their $229.99 MSRP (and $10 cheaper than Amazon's sale price).
Directly tested against Apple AirPods Pro, Shokz, Beats, and Bose headphones, these Jabra earbuds came out on top as Mashable's favorite workout earbuds. Why? First of all, they're built to last. As Mashable Shopping Reporter Sam Mangino writes in our guide to the best workout earbuds, "these are the only earbuds we tested with a U.S. military-grade standard of durability, meaning they won't crumble if you step on them. Plus, they're IP68 dust and water-resistant."
In other words, while you can't wear them for any swim workouts, they'll last during sweaty gym sessions, even if they happen to fall out — which according to Mangino, was not an issue for her during testing, with her writing instead they had the most secure fit of all the headphones she tested. (Anyone who's tried to do yoga with earbuds in, you'll know how crucial a good fit is).
You might have noticed that for a pair of headphones, we haven't talked all too much about the sound performance yet — in a nutshell, it's good, not great, but for workout headphones, we think the trade off is worth it. Mangino noted the active noise-cancellation doesn't block as much as other headphones she tested, but that she did prefer to have some awareness while exercising anyway. The sound quality itself does the job, but isn't a standout among more sound-forward options. Finally, you'll get nine hours of playback time with ANC on a single charge, plus 32 more hours with the case.
