What are the best wireless headphones for exercise?

Believe it or not, that is a question we hear all the time here at SleepPhones® HQ! Finding the right pair of headphones for exercise really depends on how you move and, more importantly, what usually makes your current headphones feel insufficient.

If you are an avid runner, do high-impact cardio, or HIIT training, you probably already know the struggle of earbuds constantly slipping out of your ears. Some people even adjust the silicone tips to combat that issue, only to end up with an annoying pressure or ache in their ear canal after a short amount of time. Conversely, large, over-ear headphones feel bulky and can get incredibly sweaty during intense work.

For those who prioritize comfort and enjoy yoga, Pilates, or even just long walks, we suggest our SleepPhones® headphones. We thoughtfully integrated ultra-thin, padded Bluetooth® speakers inside a soft, breathable headband. This is a massive change for anyone who finds earbuds intrusive or over-the-ear headphones cumbersome. SleepPhones® headphones provide clear sound that stays perfectly in place without jamming anything into your ear. Because the headband doesn't seal your ear canal like other headphones, you remain much more aware of your surroundings making them perfect for a walk through a park or a workout at the gym.

If you want something that stays put and feels completely natural while you move, we think you will love the headband design! They're perfect not only for any workout where you just want to listen to your favorite playlist but also for active recovery. And unlike traditional headphones and earbuds which feel like hardware stuck in your head, you'll forget you're wearing them. If they sound interesting to you, we are more than happy to answer any questions about which fabric or size might work best for your workouts!
