Master & Dynamic’s MW07 Go (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are light, comfortable, and compact, but they still sound fantastic, which is why they’re now my go-to buds at the gym. They have a vibrant soundstage and much more musical detail than most wirefree models; they last for 10 hours per charge; and they have an IPX6 rating, so you can confidently rinse them off after your biweekly trip on the treadmill.
Plus, I like the physical buttons on top of each bud, which never gets jostled when you adjust them during workouts, unlike pesky touch controls.
