Sony - WF-SP800N

Highly recommend Sony SP800N (sports model as opposed to the WF someone else recommended which are the more premium non sports model) l. I have a pair I use for hiking and gardening that are 6 years old and going strong. I don’t wear them every day but they have had a lot of long days in the Australian sun, been sweaty and dirty, copped rain and even survived a light chewing from my Cattle Dog. Good noise cancelling, good sound, stay in ears well and they still have heaps of battery life after years of hard work.

Apple for me. Sony were great and lasted a few years but Apple fit a bit better

When I think about the perfect earbuds for running and workouts, a few key things really stand out. First off, the fit is everything. There’s nothing worse than constantly adjusting earbuds while you’re moving around. I love ones with ear hooks or adjustable tips, like the Jabra Elite Active 75t or Powerbeats Pro—they stay in place no matter how intense the workout gets. Water and sweat resistance are a must too. I’ve had earbuds die on me because I didn’t pay attention to the water resistance rating, so I now always look for something with at least an IPX4 rating. The Beats Fit Pro or Jaybird Vista 2 are solid choices for this—they’re tough enough to handle a sweaty gym session or a run in the rain. Sound quality is another big one. I need earbuds that deliver clear audio, especially when I’m trying to get into the zone. Bose Sport Earbuds and Sony WF-SP800N both give great sound, with enough bass to keep me pumped up. Battery life is always a factor too. I want something that lasts at least a few hours and has a charging case for those longer sessions. Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro and JBL Reflect Flow are great for that. If I’m running outside, I need to hear my surroundings, so I really appreciate earbuds with transparency mode, like the AirPods Pro or Sony WF-1000XM4. They let me enjoy my music but still stay aware of what's going on around me. Lastly, touch controls and voice assistant features make life so much easier. I don’t want to fiddle with buttons when I’m in the middle of a workout, so being able to control everything with a tap or my voice is a game-changer. When all these things come together, you get earbuds that just work. What about you? What kind of earbuds do you prefer when you’re running outdoors or working out in the gym?

Been rocking the Sony WF-SP800N Truly Wireless since 21.

I have Sony WF-SP800N that I scored from lost property at work (nobody collected them). They got a good clean before I used them and have been working sweet for a few years now.

Sony WF-SP800N. Older model but best sound/fit/bass/battery/ANC I've used.

Very good point, and I can agree based on having tested the Sony WFs :D
