The Amazon Spring Sale contains deals on several sets of my favorite workout headphones, but if you’re looking for value in particular then look no further than the JLab Go Sport+.

I’m testing these headphones at the moment and have run, cycled and done strength workouts with them, and they’re ridiculously good value even at their full price of $29.

Right now you can get the JLab Go Sport+ for just $19 on Amazon, a deal so good it’s tempting to pick up a few sets just to try different colors. There are seven options to pick from — get black headphones for formal occasions and coral for fun?

These earhook sports headphones are perfect for running and gym workouts and are reduced to just $19 in the Amazon sale. They offer long battery life, a secure fit and impressive sound quality for the price, and come in seven colors. If you want an affordable sporty alternative to buds from Beats, Apple and Bose, then look no further.

I’ve tested the best workout headphones from all the major brands, including running 150 miles with the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 when they launched recently, and the JLab Go Sport+ are an affordable alternative that match pricier buds on many fronts.

The fit is secure and comfortable for workouts thanks to the earhook, and the battery life is excellent at nine hours on the earbuds plus another 26 hours from the case, which is charged via the handy integrated cable.

While there’s no ANC, the sound quality is better than you’d expect for the price, and the buds are enjoyable to listen to during and outside of workouts. There’s also a Be Aware mode, which I use to hear my surroundings on outdoor runs, and the headphones are IP55-rated so they’ll shrug off sweat and rain without problems.

If you want the best sound quality and ANC then it will be worth spending the extra money on a top set of earbuds, but if you just need a reliable set of sports headphones for your workouts then you won’t go wrong with the Go Sport+, especially at this price.
