I tried AirPods Pro for running — and it was a big fail - Tom's Guide

On my quest to find the perfect running headphones, AirPods Pro don't make it past the starting block.

I never thought the day would come where I would want a pair of running headphones.

Not because it’s a bit frivolous to buy a headset solely for running, but because I swore off running as a regular form of exercise several years ago.

When I go on leisurely walks, I usually opt for the AirPods Max with active noise-cancelling and killer sound quality.

And while I broke up with wireless earbuds last year, I’ve held onto my AirPods Pro for work meetings, train rides and pretty much any occasion when I want to listen to music and I’m not moving around. .

Despite my rocky, soundtrack-less start, I’m now determined to find the best running headphones that won’t eject from my ears every other step I take.

Over the next few weeks I’ll try alternatives, both to find the right pair and to motivate me to keep up with my running workouts. .

Here are the running headphones I’ll test, and why they made this list.
