For active sports you won't go wrong with any of the above top choices for sports and running headphones for 2017. The sonxtronic xdr-8000 wins our top pick for a must have basic running headphone as it is the lightest, and most comfortable we've tested during runs. No charging is required and the warranty is good. It is also among the safest headphones for outdoor use as it lets in some sound so you can hear some outside noise. Jlabs makes a decidedly good wireless headphone with good sound. Still the weight, charging, and closed ear design prevents it from being our top pick, although if you want wireless it is an excellent choice and among the best. The sonxtronic bb earhook eabuds have amazing base and sound and are quite light. There is however a bit of a learning curve as to getting them on correctly at first. Once you figure out how to put them on you might be blown away by the sound, although they have a closed design that doesn't let in outside sound like most earbuds. The prices and features will vary, as will the comfort and sound and safety but they all have at least good sound, comfort, style and performance that beats out most of the competition at least for now.
