Google Pixel Buds 2a

Tested: sports headphones. Road cycling, cross-trainers, treadmills, jogging, Pilates, skipping, martial arts, breakdancing, floor exercises – our testers tried out 18 pairs of headphones whilst doing their favourite sports. We’ll tell you which ones stay securely in your ears, are easy to operate whilst on the move, and cope well with hats, helmets and wind noise...

The 2a scores highly in almost every respect: The sound is clear and offers plenty of oomph; the battery life is great at over eight hours and the wearing comfort is high. Not so good: There is no volume control on the in-ear and there is no iOS app. At least there is a web app for Windows and macOS.
