Stay motivated and fit by adding a good TWS to your workout kit
One of the biggest challenges when it comes to working out is staying motivated and focused on your objectives. A good pair of earbuds and workout music go a long way towards making this happen by forcing you to focus on the beat rather than your aches and pains. Good ANC also helps here as it cuts out the clutter around you.
Best Earbuds and Headphones for Working Out
There are tonnes of options out there and this curated list should help simplify your decision.
Jabra Elite 8 Active
As the ‘Active’ in the name suggests, the Elite 8 Active from Jabra directly targets fitness enthusiasts. It’s one of the few headsets in the market to be IP68 certified for dust and water resistance, which is important when you lead an active, sweaty lifestyle.
You can leave these in your ears come rain or shine, and it’ll easily handle the occasional soak when, say, you empty a bottle on your head to cool off. The set is also designed to sit snugly in your ears and won’t come off easily.
The rest is fairly standard stuff as far as TWS sets are concerned. You get ANC, fast-pairing, 32 hrs of battery life, and quick charge support. You can pick up a set for Rs 8,999 on Croma.
Noise Pure Pods
The Noise Pure Pods might cost just Rs 2,999, but their feature-set is impressive and easily competes with more expensive sets. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the ear tip wings that ensure excellent grip no matter how rigorous the workout. The fit also helps with ANC. Even better, the set offers an unmatched 80 hours of battery life. When the buds do run out of charge, a 10-min charge will get you three hours of listening time!
The Pure Pods come with an IPX5 rating which means that they can handle sweat, but you might want to keep them out of the rain.
OnePlus Buds Z2
With large, 11mm drivers and Dolby Atmos support, the OnePlus Buds Z2 sound amazing. You also get excellent bass response, immersive audio, and 40dB of ANC as well as a transparency mode. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the IP55 rating and fit, while the Fast Pair support makes pairing a breeze.
The Buds Z2 are available for Rs 3,499 and are an excellent choice for someone who needs a pair of earbuds for their workouts as well as leisure.
Realme Buds T110
Realme’s T110 earbuds offer 38 hours of battery life, IPX5 water resistance, and excellent ergonomics at just Rs 1,129. When it comes to pure value, these earphones are hard to beat. The 10mm drivers are titanium plated and are said to deliver clear highs and dynamic bass. ANC is also very good for a headset in this category.
The excellent ergonomics ensure that active users and pleasant aural experience will ensure that the set is less fatiguing to active users who will likely leave these in their ears for hours at a stretch.
Croma TWS Earbuds
We love the design of Croma’s TWS earbuds as the wingtips design ensures a secure and comfortable fit even during the most rigorous of workouts. They even come with an IPX4 rating, which protects the earbuds against sweat during heavy workouts.
Large, 16.2mm audio drivers deliver an excellent, balanced sound while ANC and Air Conduction technology allow you to either cancel out or be more aware of your surroundings depending on where you’re using these earphones. They also have excellent mics for that occasional meeting or call, not to mention smart touch controls for your convenience.
At Rs 2,999 for a set, the Croma TWS is quite the bargain.
The top audio brands, and of course various banks, are offering exciting deals on earbuds and more. If you’re looking to pick up a workout companion, now’s the best time to upgrade your kit.
