As someone who can’t function in loud places without some sort of noise dampening, I’ve also tested a variety of headphones ...

Belkin’s latest headphones offer very budget-friendly options, including a pair of over-ear headphones with noise cancellation for well under $100.

Larger over-ear headphones have more room inside their enclosures for more noise-cancelling mics and larger processors, and there’s also greater flexibility with where they can be positioned.

Whether out for a run or lifting weights, the best over-ear headphones for working out can enhance your overall experience. Our top picks for 2024 include Beats and Sony.
