An objective comparison of 3 true wireless earbuds for working out, running and fitness

When we are working out, running, or doing fitness, music encourages us to steadily progress and deliver increasingly better results. We disconnect from the outer world and fully concentrate on the rhythm of our favorite tunes. If we feel sleepy, lazy, or exhausted, the beat motivates us to move on.

From the diverse types of earbuds available on the market, it's essential to select the one that delivers the best sound quality, feels comfortable in your ears, doesn't displace or fall when you move. It would be wiser to choose wireless earbuds over wired headphones because the former are smaller and lighter but deliver the same depth and purity of sound. They snugly fit inside your ear, guarantee top-notch noise protection, and allow you to move freely.

Below, you'll find an impartial comparison of three popular models of true wireless earbuds. This review will help you to make an impartial choice and invest your funds in a gadget that shows its worth in a training environment.

Treblab X5

Treblab X5 earbuds

Successfully upgraded in 2020, Treblab X5 are definitely one of the best true wireless earbuds for working out. They connect smoothly to any iOS or Android device with the help of a Bluetooth 5.0 chip and maintain a stable connection within a 33ft signal range. Connectivity used to be the only weak point of this model as long as it was equipped with Bluetooth 4.2, but now this obstacle is not relevant anymore.

These tiny earbuds stay firmly attached to your ear thanks to anti-fall ear fins and silicone ear tips, available in three different sizes. These expandable tips are also responsible for reducing outside noise, and the advanced 8.2mm drivers deliver crisp stereo-quality sound.

Treblab X5 last for over 35 hours, and it takes them only 2 hours to charge in a portable charging case. If you receive an important call when you are working out, you can answer it with the help of the built-in CVC 8.0 mic.

Bose SoundSport Free

Bose SoundSport Free earbuds

This model is three times as expensive as the previous one and considerably bigger. The driver housing is large and sticks out of the ear. This driver is responsible for the truly impressive quality of sound, but the bulky device might fall out of your ear too easily.

Also, the sound quality remains impeccable only as long as it is quiet outside. If you work out in a bustling area or run through a crowded street, you will hardly be able to concentrate on the music. This might enhance your safety — but what's the point of wearing earbuds that offer nearly no sound protection? You'd better save Bose SoundSport Free for meditation sessions or work in a quiet laboratory.

On the positive side, the battery life for this model is 15 hours which is enough for training. Their charging case is equipped with magnetic seats that keep the earbuds in place when you open the case.

Jlab Jbuds Air Icon

Jlab Jbuds Air Icon earbuds

The main advantages of this model are its competitive price, reliable dual connection, and rich mellow bass. It includes three pairs of ear tips: one made of foam and the others of silicone. The device fits comfortably inside your ear and successfully withstands rain and sweat. Its battery life by default is 6 hours playtime plus 18 hours inside the charging case but this might vary depending on the volume.

However, Jlab Jbuds Air Icon has some significant shortcomings as well. Bluetooth 5.0 autoconnect sometimes fails, and the buttons that were meant to be touch-sensitive are not always responsive. You need to press these buttons to power the earbuds up and pair them.

If your budget is limited, Jlab Jbuds Air Icon might be a wise choice. But you can afford a more reliable model, opt for the latter.

Conclusion

Among the three above-listed options, Treblab X5 offers the best value for money. It meets all the criteria of ideal wireless earbuds for running, doing fitness, and working out: snug fit, robust noise isolation, decent sound quality, and long battery life. If you invest in these wireless earbuds, they will help you to get the best out of your training sessions while enjoying the music to the max.
