Please note, this product is not designed to allow you to use the controls whilst riding and we do not recommend doing so. This product is designed to allow you to benefit from Bluetooth technology and audio whilst using hearing protection. You must pre-connect your Bluetooth device before starting your journey. This product will also not pair to an intercom system and is more designed for use with a phone or Satnav whilst riding. Coming in second are the Walker’s XCEL 100 HPDs. These earmuffs have an NRR of 26dB, making them well-suited for various activities. Whether at the shooting range or doing yard work, you won’t need to worry about outside noise intruding on your listening experience. We're looking (listening?) for earbuds that sound good first and foremost – we want to hear clear, rich audio that does justice to every genre. We listen to both high-quality source music, as well as lower-quality streams, as well as movies and videos.

The ISOtunes PRO 2.0 have a tough rubber exterior and chrome-plated brass ear stems. And being equipped with redesigned ear hooks, these earplugs can withstand daily wear and tear. They even have an IP67 rating that makes them sweat, water, and dust resistant. Bluetooth Multipoint: This allows earbuds to remain connected to more than one source simultaneously and is particularly useful if you regularly switch between using your buds with your laptop, tablet and phone. The WULFPOWERPRO Bluetooth Earmuffs have an NRR rating of 29dB, the highest noise protection on this list. As such, these earmuffs are best for all types of loud environments. You can mow the lawn, operate heavy machinery, and do landscaping work without risking noise-induced hearing loss. Polyurethane foam plugs These come in one size only which is suitable for a larger adult. The foam on these plugs is pretty firm and I found them more difficult to get a decent tight seal. After adjusting them a few times (i.e. poking them in further) I got a decent seal and they really quietened things down. But because they took more adjusting to get it right, I’m going to mark them down a bit. NRR works the same. The NRR rating is the number of decibels (dbs) the ear plug attenuates (reduces the noise by). Because of the way sound attenuation is tested in the labs, some official bodies recommend dividing the NRR rating by two (and sometimes more) to get the true level of attenuation – but I’m not aware of any similar recommended calculation for motorcyclists.However, Beats earbuds offer a great fit and excellent sound. Particularly the Beats Fit Pro, which we highly recommend if you're looking for a pair of earbuds for working out. They're also a little more affordable than Bose options and have a more stylish design. Which wireless earbuds are just as good as Apple AirPods? With an NRR of 27dB, these earplugs are one of the top three HPDs on this list, boasting the highest noise protection rating. They come with SafeMax technology that limits volume to 85dB. And like the others, they’re also ANSI -certified and OSHA -compliant, so you know you’re getting quality hearing protection. Our keen-eared reviewers listen to a huge variety of musical genres from a range of sources during testing, including Spotify, Tidal and locally stored audio files. We’ll also put earbuds through their paces across whichever Bluetooth codecs they support using a compatible device and feed them high-resolution content if they have Hi-res capabilities. In our tests, we found them extremely comfortable (even when sleeping on our side), and we got about four nights' use from the Sleepbuds II between charges. That's a big improvement on the original Bose Sleepbuds.

Though they can’t be described as class-leading in any one area, these uniquely versatile wireless earbuds more than justify their asking price. Using the 'JLab Signature' EQ, they have a bass-rich sound profile that delivers a bump of extra punch and boom to mixes. The extra bass doesn't overwhelm vocals and lead instruments, so they're still versatile enough for most types of audio content. They also don't come with a companion app, meaning that the only EQ options you have are the three EQ presets built into the earbuds, which gives you significantly less control over the audio than the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless. However, they last longer than the JBL on a single charge. For us, Naenka’s runner pro headphones take the gold. Not only did these offer great storage space for our MP3 music, but its Bluetooth function was almost unmatched. Our music barely cut out while swimming and was always crystal clear. And even though the charger is delicate, we still found ourselves reaching for these the most – a clear winner and something we now won’t be hitting the pool without.While they have a comfortable fit for most people, they can pop out of your ears over time. This can affect how the earbuds deliver bass, so getting a good fit is important to ensure consistent sound delivery. If you want earbuds with a more comfortable fit overall, the Sony LinkBuds S Truly Wireless are another great mid-range option. They have a more stable fit but a weaker ANC performance, though this may be better suited for runs where you want to stay aware of your surroundings.
