Why does it state that these are not ideal for runners?

They don't stay in with out the hooks. It's not a fault, it's just the way they're shaped. Runners do better with a behind the head Bluetooth option, or one with a collar that rests on the shoulders.

Actually, I found t-shirt clip on eBay and use it to hold it in place while I am boxing. I am pretty sure same will work for runners too. So these can be used by runners if you find a way to fixate remote on your clothes somehow.

The black volume switch on the cord is a little heavier than the cord. When you run it causes the black part to bounce around on your neck, jostling the headphones.

The reason I don't think it's ideal for runners is because they do not stay inside ones ear even when in walking motion.

I believe moisture is a factor. Sweat build-up is greater for runners than cyclists, leading to electronic component failure over time.

Because they are noise cancelling, whereas earbuds for runners are supposed to allow in some outside noise, so you don't get hit by a car.

I wouldn't recommend this for running. Though the earphones itself create a good seal on your canals, the breaks from the cords to the earphones itself might allow water to seep in. Although if you think about it, these are used as monitors, so hypothetically, they CAN be used for running.

That's a great question, and I really don't know the answer. They sure work, though. I'm a runner and had to lay off for almost three months because of PF. I'd love to say that these solved the problem all by themselves. They didn't, but they are absolutely a vital part of my "road back". I'm sold.

I use mine for walking but I think they would be just fine for running. You can get the low padding ones to avoid bulk.

Sorry, no....they do, however make some specially for women. Check it out. I just think this design would "hurt", particularly when running.

Sorry, I'm not a runner. I'd suggest you call the manufacturer and ask what the maximum pace would be.

They might work over your running shoes, but they don't seem very well suited to that kind of use. They're made of fairly heavy rubber with an aggressive tread on the sole.

I would not recommend running in these. Not only are they prime to falling off shoes and boots, the metal stubs would be slippery on some surfaces making them hazardous. I'd look into something different if you want traction for winter running.

They are terrible in high noise areas. They are intended so that you hear ambient noise. I cannot hear well even when running along a busy road.

Like in my review, they are, if you can get them at just the right angle. There's no 'locking' position, so you have to make sure they are on just right. This was one of my concerns when buying these, and they work pretty good when you go running. But like "R Squared" mentioned, you have to turn up the volume because they don't block out sound very good. I was looking for some headphones that weren't ear buds because those don't stay in my ears, but these are a lot bigger and bulkier than I thought. The actual ear pieces are pretty fat. And my audio jack ended up ripping away from the wire, but I have no idea why. In conclusion, I wouldn't get these for running.

They do not fit tight, you could run and hear everything. If you keep it looped around the ear, you can jog like that, but it is not as stable.. Walking with it completely out is very unstable. It does not fit into the ear canal like the LG 700 series and is built so you can run and still be aware of your surroundings

Yes, they are great. They stay in place and are comfortable for even the longest runs but remember running with any sound isolating earphones or headphones blocks out all surrounding noise which can be dangerous in cities and other areas where you should be alert.

I don't really know how they would work for a long distance runner, but they have been the most helpful insert I have found yet - and I have tried many. I don't know what your foot issues are exactly but if I don't put these in my shoes, I can tell within a few hours.

I haven't tried them out running, but for walking, they're fine so long as you keep the device within the specified range which is on an arm band. Hope this helps.

not sure what they are intended for but I use them for running just fine. The reali diamond trekkers that have cylinders in them, not chains

i think they make better products for jogging than this. Look at a running store.

No I feel that they are too long to run in. They are designed for bike riding or standing on a scooter.
