Customization is crucial when looking for earbuds bc remember: one size most def does not fit all. With nifty hooks that are rotatable so you can easily adjust the fit, these are a clear front-runner. Plus, the bass is pretty deep, delivering a quality sound experience.

- Designed to fit snug and stay in place
Cons

When you’re logging miles, above all else you want something reliable. There’s nothing worse than earbuds running out of juice when you’re, well, mid-run! These ones from JBL are a popular choice and stay in place better than most. Though they are water-, sweat-, and dust-proof, you probably won’t wanna swim in these, FYI.

Pros
- Comes in three colors: black, pink, white
- Can use the charging case as a power bank for your phone
Cons
- Bass may sound weak, per reviews
- Trouble connecting to some devices
The charging case on this one can give ya up to 100 hours (!!!) of battery life, which is v impressive compared to other wireless earbuds on the market. The design features small “wings” that help clip into ears, and the sound quality is up to par with more expensive earbuds. Did I mention there’s a noise cancelling feature, too??

A color for (nearly) every day of the week? Don’t mind if I do. These cutie buds are currently available in a rainbow of hues, including green (shown here), black, carbon black, blue, purple, and flare red. On the audio front, they don’t disappoint either, bringing serious bass to the party.

Pros
- Fit is secure and comfortable
- 15 minute charge = 90 more minutes of music listening time
Cons
- Using the buttons takes some getting used to
- Sometimes has a spotty connection to device
In order for earbuds to feel snug and secure, I need that behind ear hook. Is it my emotional support hook? Idk, maybe! The design on these feels as sturdy as can be, and the audio experience is *chef’s kiss*. Turn on the bass boost for even richer, punchier sound.

If you’re a swimmer, water sports enthusiast, or someone who just wants to be able to listen to stuff while actually under water, may I introduce you to this ~throwback~ concept? It’s waterproof earbuds with a built-in MP3 player. Yes, there’s Bluetooth, too, but the MP3 mode is specifically designed to work when submerged in water! You’ll just have to upload your music (or podcasts) via USB cord, the old-fashioned way.

Pros
- Includes 11 different earbud tips to find your best fit and size
- Designed to be worn tucked into your goggle strap just above your ear
Cons
- Sound quality underwater may be inconsistent
- Can slip out of ears depending on your swim style
Here’s another pair of earbuds that are designed for swimming, but there’s no Bluetooth, my friend. Just pure analog plug-in earbuds! These are best when coupled with the brand’s underwater MP3 players, though you can plug ’em into any MP3 player you like when using them on dry land.
