As audio editor, I spend a lot of time listening to music on great audio devices. I'm fortunate to work mostly from home where I assess the best wireless earbuds, speakers, soundbars, etc., but several times a week I break my working day and head to my local gym to maintain a level of fitness. My trips to the gym are also an ideal opportunity to assess candidates for my buying guide roundups and to try models out on different activities and in different environments.
I've tested dozens of wireless earbuds as workout companions over the years, and have settled on Apple's AirPods Pro 2 as my go-to gym buddy. They rank among the best workout headphones and are the perfect addition to my iPhone. They're great at delivering my favorite motivational playlists with powerful and engaging sound during gym sessions and have robust durability to withstand the wear and tear of a sweaty workout.
