Pros
- Improved sound from previous generation
- Volume controls on the stem
- Transparency mode creates little wind noise
Cons
- Using stem controls can cause you to pull the earbuds loose
Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 are the gold standard for wireless earbuds, and also the most ubiquitous. They’re the overwhelming favorite earbuds on the market. I think that’s largely due to the fact that the moment you pop them in, you notice the comfortable, secure fit (thanks to four ear tip sizes), and ergonomic design. Whether you’re commuting, running, or just trying to listen to your romance novel audiobook without scandalizing your family, these buds stay put and feel featherlight.
Sound quality is pretty good: it has a custom high-excursion driver and H2 chip to keep things sharp and booming, even in loud environments. Active noise cancellation is superior to that of many others, and adaptive transparency mode lets you hear what’s going on around you to the level you can stand when you’re trying to get your workout on.

Cons

The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 earbuds are designed to stay put, thanks to flexible earhooks and five ear tip sizes, so you can focus on your run instead of fiddling with your headphones. The IPX4 water resistance means they’ll handle sweat and rain without a hitch.
Sound quality is on point—expect punchy bass, crisp highs (as someone who has worn these, Hamilton has never sounded better), and a nicely balanced sound that makes your playlists pop. The active noise cancellation and transparency mode is handy: block out the gym clatter/your children’s video game sounds when you want to focus, or let in the world when you’re running in busy areas and don’t wish to be taken out by a minivan. The physical buttons are a practical touch, making it easy to control your music even with sweaty hands.

The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 headphones are a real game-changer for runners who want great sound without sacrificing safety or comfort. Aly Ellis, our director of content hype, sums it up perfectly: “These are my favorite running headphones ever, specifically, the Kipchoge edition. They get loud enough that you can hear them while running, but you can hear noise and traffic around you. I listen to music, podcasts, and audiobooks while wearing mine, and they all sound great!”
That open-ear design is the magic here—it keeps you aware of your surroundings, whether you’re dodging bikes on a trail or crossing busy streets.
