If you like running with music and are looking to upgrade your headphones, or are looking for a gift to buy for the runner in your life, Cyber Monday sales are a great opportunity to score a great deal, and even though the actual day has passed, a number of sales are still available. There are great deals on running headphones from top brands in different styles, so there is bound to be something for everyone.

A good pair of running headphones makes it easy to listen to music or podcasts on the run, and the latest models feature all kinds of advanced tech, from ambient sound modes to active noise canceling (ANC) and more.

Fortunately, a bunch of RW’s favorite running earbuds are currently discounted, including models from Bose, Beats, Jabra, and Apple. Most of these on-sale ‘buds are available at third-party retailers (Amazon and Walmart), though some brands, namely JBL, are having their own holiday sales. The sale prices vary, but double-digit discounts are the norm. Read on to discover the best Cyber Monday running headphones deals that are still being offered.

How We Evaluated

The models below represent the best Cyber Monday running earbuds available now. To recommend them, I searched across online retailers like Amazon and Walmart, along with headphone brand websites, to find the latest deals. Using RW reviews (especially the Earbuds Guide), RW editor feedback, and my own knowledge and experience with running gear, I focused on high-quality earbuds that work well for running. I prioritized models with good battery life and dust and water resistance. Those stats are called out for each model below.

A note on IP ratings used in this guide: The first number refers to how well the device resists solid particles like dust and hair; the second refers to how well it resists water. The higher the number, the more resistant the device is (the “x” in IPX4 means the device was not tested for dust resistance). You can read more about IP ratings here.

Finally, this list features a variety of options, like earbuds with ear hooks or noise canceling tech, to suit different runner preferences and needs.

Jaybird Vista 2 True Wireless Sport Bluetooth Headphones

With marathon-proof battery life, proven dust and water resistance, and a compact build, the Jaybird Vista 2 packs in a lot of value for its sub-$100 sale price (it’s also one of RW’s favorite running earbuds for 2022). In addition, these fully wireless earbuds offer active noise canceling and a SurroundSense mode that lets in some ambient noise, so you can hear traffic and other hazards.

AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)

Thanks to an upgraded chip and amplifier, the second-gen AirPods Pro offer an improved audio experience, and they’re an obvious choice for iPhone users (though they can work with Android phones, too). A transparency mode allows you to hear your surroundings, the splash-proof design resists sweat, and you can control the volume with just a swipe on the earbud stem—helpful for making adjustments on the run.

SHOKZ OpenRun Pro Premium Bone Conduction Headphones

Bone conduction headphones are the safest option for runners who frequent busy streets or generally just want to be aware of their surroundings. They work by taking "advantage of a sound pathway that bypasses both the ear canal and ear drum. They vibrate against your bones—usually those in front of the ear—and send sounds straight to the inner ear," according to our research. This pair from Shokz is our favorite neckband option, and features a richer sound than the previous model.

Sport Earbuds

Bose is a trusted name in audio, and the brand’s Sport Earbuds live up to that reputation. These ‘buds provide clear, balanced sound thanks to their Active EQ system, which automatically adjusts the audio highs and lows to suit the volume setting. They’re also built specifically for workouts and feature a comfy tip design and simple touch gestures for playback control.

Studio Buds

The first thing you’ll notice about the Beats Studio Buds is their size: These earbuds are tiny. Even so, RW testers found they stayed in place while running. Better yet, they’re programmed with premium features like spatial audio (which mimics the experience of listening to music in a room), a transparency mode, and active noise cancellation. They play nice with both iOS and Android devices, and they come with three sets of silicone ear tips to help you get a snug fit.

LinkBuds

Sony’s LinkBuds have a unique design: A ring-shaped speaker with an open center area that allows ambient noise to pass through. The result? You can listen to music and hear speeding cars and other hazards as you run. The audio quality isn’t stellar, but if you often run in high-traffic areas and prefer an in-ear fit, these are definitely worth a look.

Go Air True Wireless Earbuds

With their $30 price tag, these JLab earbuds are a bargain—and even more so now that they’re on sale. Boasting a splash-proof design, five hours of battery life, and a slim charging/carrying case with an integrated power cable, the Go Air is a great pick for a no-frills, high-quality pair of running earbuds.

Sport X10

For some, earbuds can be uncomfortable to wear or fall out easily, and that’s when ear hooks, which hug the outer ear, can help. In RW testing, the Soundcore Sport X10 proved to have the best ear hook design: They’re flexible and they swivel, which provides a better fit around your ear and more compact storage. On top of that, these earbuds feature robust water resistance and lengthy battery life.

Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds

The Powerbeats Pro earns high marks for battery life, audio quality, and ergonomics. The ear hook design ensures a snug, comfy fit—even during intense workouts—and the audio is on par with the best on this list. The earbuds utilize the same headphone chip as Apple’s third-gen AirPods, and they support spatial audio for an immersive listening experience, though they don’t feature active noise canceling.

Tone Free TF8

With their stellar battery life, excellent dust and water resistance, active noise canceling tech, and secure “swivel-grip” design, LG’s Tone Free TF8 wireless earbuds are a strong performer in any situation. But they also come with one standout feature: The carrying/charging case includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, which allows you to listen to audio from non-Bluetooth sources. You might think you’d never use it, until you sit down on a plane and want to watch a movie—the case can plug into the seat back and send the audio to your earbuds.

Open-Ear Wireless Earbuds

Shokz bone conduction headphones are still our top pick for staying alert while running, but they’re pricey and a bit bulky. Although they don’t use bone conduction technology, these JLab earbuds offer similar awareness for less than half the price, and they’re more streamlined. The ear hook design places a speaker over each ear but leaves your ears open, so you can hear ambient sounds easily (they can also attach to your sunglasses). The audio isn’t going to win any awards, but by prioritizing ambient sound, they offer a safe way to listen to music while running in busy areas.
