Sweat proof? My concern is the usb port. Oxidation.

I'm not a big sweater so I'm not really sure. I think it's a great purchase though and am incredibly pleased with it overall. It's great not dealing with wires!

Hi Mauricio, Are you out jogging or you use the usb to plug in. It because that is the good thing about these. If you can use the wireless feature if your running and using use the wireless connecting to your phone. If you have a older phone update your phone to get a Blue tooth option. Let me know if that helps.

I've had no problem with sweat affecting the usb or any other part of the headphones. These headphones have had a four to six month life cycle in my experience, and sweat may be a factor in that. Still for the price, I think that lifespan is pretty acceptable.

I have not had any trouble except changing the battery. As soon as I put the usb port in my computer.I was ready to go.I hope you find the out the issue soon.

It's impossible to use this thing and not have your sweat to come in contact with it. I had one, and almost immediately got rid of it for "several" reasons. It's junk. That's my experience and opinion.

i did 50mins on my exercise bike, sweat was trapped underneath.. it's quite funny, i could see a bubble of water(sweat) so i think if the seal is good, you should be ok swimming

Yes. However it only worked a limited amount of times before it died. I think in my case I used it for running and it was not sweat proof.

I have not had that issue. I assure when the computer is plugged in that it is on a surface that allows good ventilation.

Mine died in about 6 months of regular use at the gym. I suspect it's due to sweat. Here's their product site. Despite being called "Active2", it doesn't really mention anything about using it in a "active" lifestyle. Just generic bluetooth usability. http://www.brightechshop.com/products/item/2/active2tm-bluetooth-headset-headphones Another issue I had that lead to it dying was that it wouldn't hold a charge for more than a day. Even if I charged it and didn't use it for a day, it wouldn't turn on or only last a few minutes. I had to charge it day of use which was annoying. I've tried contacting them through their site to replace my pair and never got a response. If you're going to use it primarily for workouts/exercise, I'd recommend buying one specified for that activity. If you're still wondering, yes, they worked fine while new. Since they're just earbuds essentially, I did have some issues with it getting loose while running so now I prefer bluetooth headphones with some kind of canal or over the ear support for stability.

While it is water resistant, I've had it survive a light mist, but wouldn't trust it for a solid rain or sitting in a puddle. Especially with the solar panel...any moisture in that and you'll have to rely on the USB charger, if it works at all.

Hi Wendy, I go to the gym at least twice a week here in Maryland and use the Belkin Armband all the time. There is a slight bit of moisture on my nano when I'm done, but it has not harmed the nano to this point. However, the conditions you are running in, I would probably use a plastic 'baggie' over top of the armband as I personally do not believe it would keep the nano dry over time. Again...just my obervations and opinion. Hope you are doing well. chuck

I've had it overheat and the battery is better than average but not as good as my old MacBook air. Most of my use is when plugged in.

Don't get it wet...period! Sweat from your ear will drown your phone. No water resistance rating or if you really need a rating it classifies as a BIG Zilch!

I havent had it out in anything torrential, but it has been perfectly waterproof in everyday rainstorm. *IF* you'll be riding a bike in the wet, the top flap only protects from above and water spraying upward will get into the main compartment. I'm pretty sure I could jump into a lake and the computer would never get wet though...

I have not had that problem, and I tend to sweat quite a bit (literally dripping after a couple of runs while visiting FL last month). The band's material is pretty substantial, so I don't think moisture can get through it from behind your phone. Sweat could potentially come through the opening at the top, but I still think it's unlikely.

My usb ports are shot/ shorting out. and I have only had it for about 5-6 weeks. IT turns off without me noticing until it gets too hot, and I have to wiggle the usb just so and hope it stays to get it to work. I am past the 30 day return, so I am SOL.

Water Resistant-there is a small rubber cover for the mini-usb and 3.5mm jack.
