I've been a headphone lover for almost two decades now. When I got my first iPod, I became attached to Apple's distinctive white earphones, running them through my school shirt and up through my collar so I could secretly listen to music in class.

I was a heavy user, but I've also been reviewing headphones, including the best workout earbuds, since 2016. I've tested so many sets of over-ear headphones and true wireless earbuds, but only the Jabra Elite 7 Active have ever really held my attention.

They've quickly become my go-to exercise companion. These were the first buds to come with Jabra's ShakeGrip materials and design, and I was impressed at how effective it was at keeping the buds in place.

That's not the only reason I like them—the active noise cancellation feature is extremely effective and comes with a transparency mode too. If you want a set of these top-rated buds, you can pick up the Jabra Elite 7 Active for 33% at Amazon right now (opens in new tab).

As I spend so much time using and thinking about headphones, I'm often quick to notice design flaws or features that are more of a hassle than they're worth, but as I wrote in my Jabra Elite 7 Active review, I only had a few minor niggles about the charging case.

And although I've tested plenty of headphones since, they're the only ones I keep coming back to. I prefer earbuds with noise cancellation, as I find it helps me stay focused, and the Elite 7 Active have three modes; off, on, and HearThrough.

It was the HearThrough transparency mode that particularly impressed me. I listen to a lot of podcasts when I'm out walking, and there's usually a lot of traffic or passing runners that I need to keep an ear out for.

HearThrough blended just the right amount of external noise to help me keep aware of my surroundings without getting distracted. Because they stay in place, have multiple cancellation modes, and long battery life, they've been a versatile workout companion.

Of course, you also need some equipment if you want to train at home. Helpfully, you can pick up resistance training equipment at a discount with these Prime Day weights deals. And if you're in the market for a new fitness tracker, check out all the latest Prime Day fitness deals.
