The acoustic engineers at Bang & Olufsen give our ears plenty of reasons to fall in love with the Beoplay E8 2.0. These awesome wireless earphones deliver the best and most natural sound.
We especially love that they can last for hours of usage. They come with a charging case (leather-covered!) that can hold three full charges too, you can listen to your Spotify playlists for up to 16 hours.
Moreover, the engineers at Beoplay understand that ears come in different shapes and sizes. So you get to choose from five different ear tips included in the box for a more comfortable fit.

In case you’re looking for the best wireless earphones to accompany you in your workout regimen but don’t want to splurge that much, then the RHA TrueConnect might just be the best wireless earbuds for you.
While the RHA TrueConnect shares many of the features of the other wireless earphones on this list, what really caught our attention is its ability to charge its drained battery to up to 50% capacity within just 15 minutes. Seldom will you find a device that can charge that fast!
We also like its IPX5 rating. That means you can confidently sweat out all you want while lifting all those weights or even while running under the rain.
Plus, we love the three-year warranty that goes with the purchase. This means that you get great after-sales service in case anything goes wrong with the device.
On the whole, the RHA TrueConnect offers almost the same features we can find in more high-end wireless earphones for working out… but at a more affordable price. Who doesn’t love that?

Like the other noise cancellation wireless earphones on this list, the Plantronics BACKBEAT PRO 5100 can block out external noise (even via the microphone when you’re on a call). That’s going to be a plus for a lot of people.
The same is true for how lightweight these wireless earphones feel. Each ear bud weighs only 5.8g and you also get to choose from its three different ear tip sizes for more comfortable wear.
If you’re listening to music and a call comes in, its smart sensors will automatically pause your sounds for you to answer the call. And thanks to a long battery life of up to 19 hours, you won’t ever have to worry about long phone calls.

Imagine a world where it’s just you and your music. That’s possible now with the help of the Sony WF-1000XM3 wireless noise-cancelling headphones.
The Sony WF-1000XM3 caught our attention because of its whole-day battery life. Pair that with the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1e, and you can now put the world on hold and immerse yourself in the different moods of your playlist.
That means you get nothing but pure, clear, and rich sound. You can also enjoy watching videos on your smartphone and tablets with the Sony WF-1000XM3 and experience a better synchronisation of what you see on-screen and what you hear in your ears.
With the optimised antenna design of the Sony WF-1000XM3, you also get an uninterrupted signal. That’s good news when you’re streaming an awesome playlist from the Web.
Whilst the other wireless earphones on this list can also cancel noise, we discovered that it’s only the Sony WF-1000XM3 that allows us to cancel music-interrupting noise while permitting a modicum of ambient sound to get through.
That’s actually good for a lot of users, as it lets them hear important sound — say, their colleague trying to ask them something from the next cubicle.

- Bluetooth
- Up to 24hours of battery life
- Quick Attention function lets you chat easily without removing your headphones

We like how the Jaybird Vista earbuds make it easy for us to forget we’re even wearing them. They’re so compact and lightweight that it’ll be easy for you to stash them in the pocket of your workout clothes.
Thanks to the IPX7 rating, you won’t have to worry about your sweat getting in the earbuds either because they’re both waterproof and sweatproof. They also feel comfortable to the ears as the silicon ear gels have a snug fit and comes in three different sizes.
And with the Jaybird Vista’s JBS1 wireless technology, you get nothing but clear sound for your music, videos, and calls. No connection stutters to worry about here.

With these, you also get 9 hours of playback time from a single charge so that you can listen to your fave tunes. It also sports graphene-enhanced 5.8mm drivers that let you hear everything, from the deepest bass to the highest treble.

Price: RM689.00
The Jabra Elite Active 65t is another of the great wireless earphones for active users. We’d recommend it for those who like a good soundtrack while getting toned or reaching for the finish line.
That’s because it meets just about all of the expectations active users would have for wireless earphones. They stay plugged in during rough activity, help monitor performance, and are sweat-proof.
Like most other buds, these come in gel-like material and have three different sizes. Plus, don’t worry about getting all sweaty and dirty because these wireless earphones feature an IP56 rating with a two-year warranty against sweat and dust.
The accompanying app also means a more personalised sound with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. You can customise sounds the way you want to hear them with the help of its advance equaliser.
This also goes for how much of your own voice you want to hear when on-call, including noise from the outside world.
Lastly, you get 15 hours of battery life after a single charge from its charger case. You won’t have to reach for your phone either as you can easily tap the buds with your fingertips or give voice commands via the app.
The Jabra Elite Active 65t might just actually be the best wireless earbuds when working out. We’d use them for our own workouts!
Highlights
- Ear gels
- HearThrough
- Fingertip controls
- IP56-rated design
- 2-year local manufacturer’s warranty

Great sound and battery life. I wish it could hold more then two devices to receive calls.”

Price: RM425.00
Let’s count the ways, shall we, that we like the Lypertek Tevi?
We couldn’t agree more with how light and small these wireless earphones are. It’s kind of hard to imagine that they even have batteries inside them because you don’t even feel them in your ears.
Next, at such an affordable price, you get decent sound and tune from your playlist, including a long battery life that will have you playing music for hours. And you can wear them through a lot of things, thanks to the IPX7 waterproof rating.
