All about the bass? Here are 4 great headphones for your workouts
A good playlist tailored to your workout might as well be considered a gym essential. (You know you pick up your pace when a club song with high beats-per-minute comes through your speakers!)
Turn your sweat session into a great jam session with a pair of quality headphones. From wireless technology to noise-canceling features, headphones have undergone some major makeovers to deliver the best sound quality possible and to take your music with you virtually anywhere. Here’s a round-up of our four fave headphones for workouts:
Wireless

You know the struggle all too well of your headphone cords getting tangled up in the elliptical handles. (Seriously, we’ve been dangerously close to getting bucked from a treadmill and starring in a viral YouTube video). Enter the wireless headphone phenomenon that makes running on treadmills so much more enjoyable (and graceful!)
We’ve turned to the doctor–Dr. Dre, that is–for wireless headphones done right. Connect wirelessly from up to 30 feet away by pairing these headphones with Bluetooth-enabled devices, including phones, tablets and laptops. Dual-driver acoustics deliver crisp sound. These headphones will give you six hours of play time before they need to be recharged. Beats by Dr. Dre – Powerbeats2 wireless bluetooth earbud headphones, $199.99, bestbuy.com

To borrow a line from pop star Meghan Trainor, “if you’re all about the bass,” you’ll love these headphones because they let the bass boom. Designed by musician-entrepreneur Nick Cannon, these headphones are super lightweight. Another great feature? The ControlTalk Universal controls your phone and your music.

Love to listen to music when you hit the slopes or while you’re scaling a rock? These dual speaker headphones hook into your helmet and feature built-in microphones.

If you’ve ever battled with keeping your earbuds in place while working out, you’ll love these. The OmniTip technology on these earbuds makes sure they won’t fall out, even during the most extreme workouts.
