If you’re tired of dropping and losing individual AirPods, consider the Beats Flex earbuds, which are connected by a thin cable that hangs behind the neck — making them ideal for risky terrain or during workouts. You’ll get 12 hours of battery life, too.

Beats Studio Buds

With these Beats earbuds, you can choose between two sound modes: active noise cancellation and transparency. They also have a built-in microphone for hands-free calls, an IPX4 rating for sweat- and water-resistance, Class 1 Bluetooth for reliable connectivity and 24 hours of battery life with the included charging case, according to the brand.

AirPods Max are the best over-ear headphones of 2024 for Apple users. NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez uses them while commuting, exercising, traveling and working because they’re comfortable to wear and have impressive active noise cancellation. This set comes with two years of AppleCare+, which includes priority access to Apple experts and mail-in or carry-in repairs, according to the brand.

The third-generation Apple AirPods are some of the best wireless earbuds out there. They have an improved fit over earlier iterations, with IPX4 sweat and water resistance, as well as a 30 hour battery life through its Lightning port charging case. The AirPods are also incredibly lightweight and have a compact design, which means you can easily slip them into your pockets or a bag.

Ed’s note: This product dropped to its Prime Day price for a few days in mid July, but because it’s 32% off and one of our favorite products, we think it’s a worthwhile deal.

4.6-star rating from 7,776 reviews on Amazon

These Apple AirPods have a clinical-grade hearing aid feature, which amplifies sound to help those with hearing loss. They also have active noise cancellation to block out distracting sounds and a battery life that lasts up to 30 hours with the included MagSafe charging case. Plus, both the earbuds and the case are IP54 water- and dust-resistant, according to the brand.
