Looking for good wireless earbuds for working out? Go for Goal

By Cleer Audio

Listening to music while you work out is not only fun, but it can also enhance your workout by improving performance and increasing serotonin during your regular workout. And many enthusiasts prefer to train with headphones. Compared to headphones, the earbuds are lightweight, portable, and don't run much while you exercise.

Imagine you're running a 5k with heavy headphones running with every step. The truth is not all true wireless earbuds are good for working out, but there are a few options much like Cleer GOAL that have been specifically designed to meet this need.

What can be classified as sport earbuds?

The truth is that you can use any good wireless earbuds for working out, as long as they fit your ears well and comfortably. Add to that sweat resistance and durability, and you're in for a killer workout.

Some true wireless earbuds are better for performance than others. Sound quality is important, but so are durability and design features like wings or ear hooks that prevent the buds from falling out. Think about those soft c-shape wings that Cleer GOAL has, they're perfect for securing your earbuds during a rigorous workout.

How to choose true wireless sport earbuds

When shopping for the perfect pair of true wireless earbuds to help you stay in shape, here are a few things to consider:

Are they Bluetooth and truly wireless?

If you're using a headset with a long cable between your device and your ear, you can pull on the wires as you exercise, which will pull the earbuds out of your ears. When you're in the middle of your long run and relying on your rock playlist to get you through the final stretch, the last thing you want is to accidentally take off your headphones. For peace of mind, look for good wireless earbuds for working out that are exactly that – wireless.

How comfortable are they?

When you're working up a sweat, you don't want any part of your body to be pinched or pulled, including your ears. Even minor discomfort can distract you and prevent you from enjoying your workout.

When it comes to wireless earbuds, you usually have two options: hard plastic or soft plastic tips. Plastic ear tips are not the most secure option because they are not made for your ears or are able to mold to the shape. Earbuds with soft rubber tips are better but still lack all-day comfort.

Are they secure?

Earbuds with rubber tips do not "lock" into your ears. Instead, they sit in your ear and can fall out during low-intensity exercise. Although they often come in many tip sizes to choose from, there is no guarantee that any tip will be the right size for a particular ear.

What will help with this is having a Floating Freebit® C-skirt, like that used on Cleer GOAL. This design twist into the ear and locks into position, all to ensure a no-fuss workout.

Are they resistant to sweat?

Although we know some people who don't sweat even after a hard workout, most of us sweat during our workouts. This means that it is very important to make sure that your headphones can handle humidity. You will often see "water resistant" or "sweat resistant" when shopping for good wireless earbuds for working out. The difference is the IPX level, which is a number that measures the degree of protection against the water of various electronic devices.

Sweat resistance is measured between IPX3 and IPX6, which means that they can withstand water and rain or sweat. The IPX7 and higher headphones can be submerged in water, but Bluetooth doesn't work underwater, so you won't be able to wear them while swimming. With that in mind, any headphones that are at least IPX3 are good for exercise.

From featuring a secure fit to having an IPX4 water resistant rating and even the 20-hour battery life, these sport earbuds have everything you need and more to lead the fit life.
