Jaybird X3
Jaybird has been making quality headphones for quite some time and the Jaybird X3s are no exception.
You can get a full week of workouts on a single charge and a quick 15 minutes of charging will get you a full hour at least. If you rely on your tunes to get you through a workout, check out the Jaybird X3 wireless earbuds and enjoy.
PC Mag was more than satisfied with the overall quality of the headphones:
“Powerful audio performance with strong, rich bass and well-defined, bright highs. The gym-friendly Jaybird X3 wireless earphones deliver high-quality audio in a comfortable, secure-fitting design.”
These headphones come in Blackout or Sparta (white) colors, and they’re sweat- and rain-proof, so you can pour your heart and soul into every workout without worrying about frying them. Pricing starts around $100.

Bose QuietComfort 35
The Bose brand has been the gold standard for active noise-canceling headphones for years, and it’s Bluetooth QuietComfort 35 (QC35) over-ear model that carries the torch.
Though other brands have come close to matching Bose’s quality, I still think Bose is the headphone manufacturer to beat, and I’m not the only one.
The Wirecutter has selected the Bose Q35 as its best wireless noise-canceling pair of headphones.
I know battery life is of extreme concern when it comes to anything that runs on Bluetooth, but the QC 35 has a 20-hour battery life. Plus, even if you do run out of power, you can use the included AUX cable to still listen to the audio. The noise-canceling feature, however, will not function if the battery is dead.
You can get a pair of the Bose QC35 in black or silver and they will cost you around $349.

V-Moda Crossfade 2
If you’re looking for a unique design in a pair of headphones, the V-Moda Crossfade 2 definitely sticks out from the crowd.
Coming with a compact carrying case, the V-Moda Crossfade 2 can be used both wirelessly and with a wired connection, making it perfect for toting around.
CNET was pleasantly impressed with the improvements V-Moda made from the previous model.
“The sturdily built, well-designed V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless delivers better battery life and improved sound over its predecessor, with more sculpted bass and better detail. The new larger earpads provide a more comfortable fit.”
A pair of the V-Moda Crossfade 2 will set you back about $350 and comes in matte black, white, or rose gold trimmings.

Bose SoundSport Wireless
If you’re hoping to get the signature Bose sound in a much smaller and workout-friendly package, look no further than the Bose SoundSport Wireless.
The SoundSport Wireless earbuds are sweat- and weather-resistant, and the gel tips are wholly designed with comfort and stability in mind. Though battery life isn’t the greatest in these (about 6 hours on a single charge), they still pack an aural wallop and the mic and music controls are handy.
Comes in Aqua, Black, and Citron for about $149. You can also pick up a pair of Bose SoundSport in Power Red, which has a heart monitor, for $199.

Jabra Move
Although the Jabra Move is a couple of years old, it’s still a great option for people looking to dip their toes into the wireless world without spending a ton of money.
They don’t offer noise cancellation, but still, provide impressively good sound quality for their construction costs — and an 8-hour battery to get you through most any workday.
At only a fraction of the price of high-end headphones — about $99 — you’ll keep a lot more money in your wallet and still have a very capable pair of cans to enjoy your favorite sounds.
