I don’t normally use over-ear headphones when I work out — a pair of the best workout headphones is usually my go-to. But the Treblab Z2 might change that. The American manufacturer brings premium features, like excellent active noise cancelation and long battery life, to this mid-range headset, and there’s a lot to love about the Z2.
With powerful basslines, vocals and treble that sound consistent across a variety of genres, and a cool design that combines comfort and aesthetics make the Z2 a steal at this price. The Z2 is IPX4-rated, making it a great companion for sweaty workout sessions. If you’re willing to forego a few features, such as the missing companion app and customizable EQ, this could be your next set of cans.
So, does this headset belong amongst the best over-ear headphones? For the complete breakdown, read my full Treblab Z2 review.

The Treblab Z2 headset has a retail price of €119 but I’ve seen it fall to as low as €58 at Amazon. The features it offers makes it an excellent choice for audiophiles who also like to work out but don’t want to spend a lot of money on a pair of cans.
Treblab Z2 review: Design & comfort
(Image credit: Future)
Treblab says the Z2 is designed to “power through your workout” and for a fitness headset, it’s very comfortable. Made of matte black hard plastic, the headset feels robust and well-built. The headband has a cushion which adds to the comfort, as do the plush leatherette earcups. Each earcup’s outer edge has a metallic vinyl design which looks classy. The adjustable headband also allows for plenty of adjustment to achieve maximum comfort.

Since it’s designed to be worn during workouts, the Z2’s earcups feel very snug and a little tight but that’s quickly remedied by the plush earcups. The headset is also very lightweight, weighing just 8.9 ounces. It’s slightly heavier than the Beats Solo 4 (€199) which weighs 7.6 ounces. Having worn the Z2 for eight consecutive hours and two hours while working out, I never felt any discomfort. The headset also stayed in place when I was running on the treadmill.
The Z2 isn’t as good as the best bone conduction headphones, but it’ll serve you well while working out. This headset is IPX4-rated which means it’s water resistant (splashes only) and sweatproof but lacks dustproofing. If you want the more durable fitness buds, check out the IP57-rated Jabra Elite 4 Active (€119) instead.
Treblab Z2 review: Controls & app
(Image credit: Future)
The Treblab Z2 doesn’t have any touch controls and everything is done via physical buttons on the earcups. You’ll find a 3.5mm aux jack, volume controls and the power/Bluetooth button on the right earcup, and the left earcup houses the ANC switch and an LED indicator that conveys the battery level and Bluetooth status. The volume buttons are textured and quick to respond.

I appreciate that the control scheme isn’t confusing. It’s straightforward which is important given that the Z2 doesn’t have a companion app — which surprised me as nearly every audio peripheral I’ve tested has had one. I would have appreciated having one to update the firmware, choose between ANC levels, and more.
The absence of a companion app means you can’t adjust the equalizer either, so you’re stuck with the default EQ which doesn’t sound terrible, but it would have been nice to have the option to boost the bass or treble, for example. However, the more expensive Beats Solo 4 doesn’t have adjustable EQ either.
