I'm fussy when it comes to workout earbuds but this pair from Treblab meets my high standards and then some. They're wireless, compact and sit securely in my ear whether I'm lifting weights or running.

With an IPX6 rating, they're also more than waterproof enough for sweaty sessions or rainy-day runs.

I like that the buds are touch-sensitive so I can swipe to adjust the volume or answer calls without reaching for your phone. Plus, with a 33-foot signal range, I can wander away from my phone without worrying about signal dropouts or stuttering sound.

When I first used my new Treblab X9 Pro earphones, I immediately realized how rubbish the sound quality of my old pair had been. The bass on the X9 Pro is rich and the noise cancellation is fantastic.

While they don't have the same premium quality as earphones by Bose, which cost hundreds of dollars, you do get a lot for your money and impressive value for under $50.

If you're looking to upgrade from wired headphones or want something reliable to take to the gym, these are a solid, budget-friendly choice.
