There's nothing more annoying than earbuds that drop out, or headphones that slip off when you're working out.

Choose the right ones to give your exercise routine a boost. Here are some of the best ones around:

Jabra Elite Active 75t, $249

These are rated as the best overall sports headphones by Finder, due to their ergonomic shape, meaning they fit well in to most people's ears.

They're also designed to be sweat-proof and waterproof, so they can make it through even the toughest workouts. They also have active noise cancellation to block out the outside world.

You can listen to them for 5.5 hours when they're fully charged, and they come in a charging case that's easy to carry.

Apple Airpods Pro, $368

Sweat and water resistant, these give a more comfortable fit than the previous model.

They have great reviews and their active noise cancellation means you can lose yourself in the music while you workout - if you like.

If you prefer to know what's going on around you, there's also a transparency mode so you can hear other things around you. They come in three sizes with soft, silicone tips for a customisable fit.

These are super comfortable and almost never fall out when you're running. They have close fitting ear hooks, are sweat-proof, and also have a long battery life, and superior sound quality. They're good in quieter environments, and you can use Siri hands-free with them, which is great for setting timers for your run or workout.

Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo, $89.99

These are very reasonably priced, but still deliver a good quality sound, a comfortable fit and a lightweight design. They have a sweatguard protection that gives a watertight barrier between the earbuds and rain and sweat, and a built-in microphone for hands-free calls too.

Under Armour JBL Sport Wireless Train headphones, $329

These have been specifically designed to wear in the gym. They're optimised for moisture resistance so they don't get spoilt by sweat, and have a clamping force so you don't have to worry about them slipping off your head.

The ear cushions are breathable, and made from a light, fast-drying fabric that is removable and hand washable. The material fully lines the inside of the headband and ear cushions so they're really soft as well. You can get up to one hour of playtime on just five minutes of charging.

They also have TalkThru technology which drops the music down when you talk, so you can chat between sets without removing your headphones.

Sony WF-1000XM4 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones, $349

If you're after impressive noise cancelling credentials, these are a great option. They have Evolved Digital Noise Cancellation, giving you excellent sound quality and a full immersive experience. They have a good bass performance as well. You'll get eight hours of play time when fully charged, and a quick five minute charge will give you an extra hour. They are a little on the big side, so may be tricky for people with smaller ears.

The next-gen QuietComfort headphones from Bose, now have a best-in-class combination of noise cancelling performance and premium comfort, plus proprietary acoustic technology for deep, clear audio.
