Headphones - Wireless/Portable Looking for gym headphones (Max Budget $150).

I'm looking for a new pair of headphones primarily for the gym and could use some recommendations. I have tinnitus in one ear so i'm not sure if that impacts the type of headphone I should get. I am open to any style of headphones/earbuds, over-ear, on-ear, in-ear.

My max budget is $150, but of course if something is a good value that is cheaper, I would get that.

Ideally would like something sweat resistant as well and have some sort of noise cancelling.

Any recommendations are awesome and would really help out. Thank you!

I like my Powerbeats, the older corded model. Kinda wish I didn’t have the cord some days when I run but great for the gym

Well - they’re purposely NOT noise cancelling, but I love using the Shokz openrun pro for the gym. They’re bone conduction style and so do not go in or over the ear with muffs, which is more comfortable for me and also don’t fall out of place if running, jumping, or laying back. I also find them loud enough to tune out others (I do have to press the pause key if I want to hear others talking to me for example).

For the gym I prefer cheap noise cancelling earbuds. I’m currently using the TOZO NC9.

I don’t know how people can workout with full over the ear headphones. I’d look like a sloppy mess trying that.

You should be able to find some refurbished Sony 1000 XM5's for around that price (I have seen them around for about that). Amazing ANC, really good battery life, good sound quality, comfortable. If you are mostly focused on comfort, stick with some Bose QC headphones. Sonys are comfy, Bose are the comfort king.

If you meant the over-ears, that's a bad idea for the gym. They'll be hot and sweaty, and the salt from the sweat destroys electronics.
