The Best Workout Earbuds and Headphones

Working out has never been an agreeable endeavor for me, even though I do it five days a week. I push myself until my muscles fail, my lungs burn, and my heart beats faster than a caffeinated hamster. The only way I can regularly endure and repeat this process is through musical bribery, in the form of an endorphin-boosting playlist. I put in my earbuds, play something with a beat that drowns out the complaints lodged by my body, and get it done.

There are a million excuses for skipping a workout, but your headphones shouldn’t be among them. They need to stay put, feel comfortable, sound great, and handle more than a little sweat. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 earbuds do all of those things — and more.
