Alright guys, what's everyone's go-to for gym headphones right now?
I’ve cycled through a few pairs of Apple AirPods over the years, and I just finished a run with the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 that lasted me about 3 or 4 years. They were actually great and held up way longer than I expected, but it’s finally time for an upgrade and I’m honestly overwhelmed by the options.
I'm looking for something with actual decent sound quality. Like I said, the Galaxy Buds were solid, but I've been seeing some pretty mixed reviews on the newer models and I'm not sure if I should stick with Samsung or jump ship to something else.
Give me some recommendations. And don't you dare tell me you just listen to whatever trash they're playing over the gym speakers - I'm not looking for advice from you crazy fucks.
What are you guys wearing during your sessions?
man i feel u on the gym speakers... mine plays the weirdest synth pop lol. i switched from airpods to the beats fit pro a few months ago and i love them. they have these little wingtips so they actually stay in your ear when ur sweating or doing bench. sound is way punchier than the standard buds too.
honestly if u want the best sound just go with the sony wf-1000xm5. the noise canceling is insane- literally shuts out the entire gym. theyre a bit pricier but worth it if u actually care about the audio quality. just make sure u get the right tips so they dont slide out!
i might be one of those "crazy fucks" but i actually use the over-ear jabra elite 8 actives. i know people hate over-ears for the gym because of the sweat but the sound is so much better than tiny buds. plus they're built like tanks.
stick with samsung if u have a galaxy phone tbh. the ecosystem stuff is just easier. i have the buds 2 pro and they sound way better than the originals. i've heard the buds 3 pro have some QC issues with the tips but once u get them dialed in they're fire.
okay dont judge but the skullcandy anc 2s are actually lowkey great for the gym. they have this "crusher" bass thing that makes u want to run through a wall. probably not for audiophiles but for a heavy leg day? nothing beats it.
i used to go through airpods like every 6 months until i got the powerbeats pro. they have the ear hooks so they literally cannot fall off no matter what youre doing. sound is decent too- definitely better than the base galaxy buds.
