Why water resistance matters
Sweat and moisture exposure make water resistance important for sports. An IP rating can provide a useful indication, but it does not guarantee that every earbud is suitable for every training condition.
Fit, weight and battery life
For running, secure fit and reasonable weight can matter more than some premium features. Good battery life also reduces charging between workouts.
Methodology
The Running score combines available water resistance, weight, battery life, transparency and ANC data. Missing data is not invented, and the score does not measure real-world fit during running.
