This comfortable pair offers decent sound and a two-year warranty. However, the long cable can snag somewhat when you turn your head.
Who this is for: This style of earbud is for people who are going to work up a sweat but want to keep their spending to a minimum.
Why we like it: If you’re a casual gym-goer, the Aukey Latitude EP-B40 is the best budget option. They’re the only sub-$50 sport earbuds we tested that fit comfortably and sounded pretty good while still being able to endure workout conditions. The silicone wings and tips keep the earbuds stable in your ears, and the IPX4 rating means they won’t short out when faced with a little sweat. The eight-plus hours of battery life will last you through more than a week of hour-long workouts before you have to recharge, and magnets in the earbuds allow you to clip them around your neck when you aren’t listening. Additionally, Aukey’s two-year warranty protects you against manufacturing defects.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The Latitude headphones aren’t nearly as durable against moisture as our top wireless exercise picks, and the long cable can bounce annoyingly when you jog and tug a bit as you turn your head.
Battery life: Eight hours Protected against: Splash of water (IPX4)
