Are the Beats 360 headphones actually good for running? I ran 10 miles in them to find out
A reviewer tested the Beats 360 over-ear headphones during a 10-mile run to evaluate their suitability for running. The headphones proved to be secure and comfortable, staying in place even on downhill sections without causing excessive pressure. While the bulkier design leads to more heat and sweat compared to earbuds, the reviewer recommends them as the best option for runners who prefer over-ear audio.
- ▪The Beats 360 headphones feature swappable performance knit cushions that can be removed to dry after sweating.
- ▪The reviewer found the fit to be secure and comfortable throughout a 10-mile run, with no slippage or undue pressure on the ears.
- ▪Wearing traditional glasses or sunglasses may cause pressure where the headphone arms meet the face, though corded glasses avoided this issue.
- ▪The over-ear design results in more heat and sweat accumulation compared to smaller, sweatproof earbuds.
- ▪The Beats 360 are priced at $349 and are marketed as a workout-ready option with a sweat-resistant build.
