"Unless you want an open-style clip bud, getting high-quality workout earbuds has become more difficult in the past few years. Companies aren't focusing on them as much, or are completely leaving the market as Jabra did at the end of 2024. Thankfully, some of the best workout earbuds - the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 - are not only still around, but were revamped at the beginning of the year."
"The original Powerbeats Pro were a go-to for me when I was training for a half-marathon before the pandemic. The main reason is their ear hook design, which curves around the back of the ear, keeping them firmly in place. It didn't matter if I was running on the street, hitting the trails, or doing sprint interval training; I never once worried about them falling out."
High-quality workout earbuds have become rarer as some companies deprioritize or exit the market. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 were revamped earlier in the year and remain available. They are on sale for $199.95 at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy during Cyber Monday, nearly matching their all-time low. The ear-hook design curves around the back of the ear to keep the earbuds firmly in place during running, trail use, and sprint interval training. The Pro 2 feature more flexible, robust hooks for an excellent, durable fit, though the hooks may be uncomfortable for glasses wearers.
