is the combat or transform better suited for marathon distances, e.g. 4 hours? why?

From reviews I've read and owning the combats, I'd say they're about equal. The Combats have a replaceable cable and pads so that the sweat and long-use torture from long distance running is more repairable. However, the Transform headset is light and more comfortable all-around. So it's build quality/repairability vs. comfort

I have no idea, they were a gift for ny grandson. Sorry I couldn't help. I know he never took them off when he was here. He loved them.

I would say that they are suited for a marathon that long i run on a daily basis and the longest I've had them on was for 2 hours and i use the mesh earmuffs instead of the leather or memory foam one that come with it all in all happy with the soul combat headphones

I have ran 5 marathons and I cannot imagine why you'd want to wear over the ear headphones while running 26.2 miles.

Horrible. I ran full marathon in redwoods, it registered over 28 miles. My friend's Garmin on the same route came very close to 26.2 miles.

I've used the first generation Nike SDM unit(which is an accelerometer) with much success over streets, trails, and races. Over a marathon it was within 10 feet over the entire distance. So I plan to check this out, first without purchasing the shoes and just strapping the accelerometer to my shoe. Once calibrated, I expect it to behave the same as my SDM. Once you have a nano it is a pretty inexpensive running tool. I picked up a 1gb nano brand new on craigslist (sf) for $100. I will purchase one tomorrow and try it out over the weekend.

No, it is not. If you plan to use it for running, then you are most certainly going to want it; however, if you intend to use it for cross training then it is not needed.

Yes, the battery will last longer than 5 hours for one run. I used the Gymboss for my long runs on the weekend and completed a marathon and quite honestly I don't remember the last time I had to change the battery!

The max speed is 4 miles per hour, which could get you to a decent jog. But its not really designed for running. It doesn't have hand rails to hang onto, or padding to cushion the stride.

I've used these headphones for a full marathon training program, including running the marathon (over 3.5 hours) without discomfort. The key is to make sure you extend the top piece of the earbud to touch the top of your inner ear just enough so they don't fall out, but not too far which leads to pressure and discomfort. It took a few times out to find the sweet spot per se, and after that I haven't had any issues.

It should work. It is not tremendously bulky. I have seen much worse. It provides some minimal restriction with the moving up and down, and it provides more restriction/stability medial/lateral. I bought it for a very active girl in several sports (basketball, soccer, and softball). Even though it is not the same type of running as a marathon... she made no complaints of discomfort running up and down court/field repeatedly or during conditioning at the start of the seasons. She has had repetitive ankle sprains. Since getting the brace....not one ankle injury!

It has either and depends on which one you buy. I don't use this feature since it's a hindrance for me since I always run under 7 min miles and want the freedom.

Yes, all the missions/quests are timed at a usual 50 minutes for most and 30 minutes for special ones such as event quests. Keep in mind the demo gives you an armor set, but in-game you make your own that's suited to your needs. If it feels challenging you aren't use to the mechanics of a certain weapon class. If you're willing to learn and like the thrill of the hunt, then this is the right game for you. I was skeptical at first but I love it now. Clocked in about 212+ hours since my purchase last summer.

I really don't know. I have used it on a 1.5 hour long run without any problems.

This gives you the ability to change the tempo-I think it is a great training tool. I use it for endurance running to help maintain a consistent pace. You also have a volume control--easy to workI have dropped it a couple of times and keeps on working.

I dont know about turbo fire but combat' hiit workout is just as challenging as an insanity workout the combat punching anf kicking workout depends on your technique so in the begining they just seem like a long warmup but when you get the technique right you'll feel it my waist have gone from 73-70 cm in 60 days i have had an mixed week of workout This week but ill start a 2nd round next month if you buy try to get the ultimate warrior package i burned 400 calories in lower body lean out and the actual workout time is aprox 27min :)

I bought the golf edition and used it for running as well. As the other reviewers mentioned, Battery life was an issue for me.

The difference is with the Turbo button on or off. With it on it cuts the run time down to 50 minutes.

Idk about the combat but the transform is really comfortable for an active life style, it's light and stays on ur ear very comfortambly the problem is the Sound quality, for the price ur paying the audio quality is really bad.

You may be able to do it because it is only 25 minutes and it has a lower impact version you can do. I usually do this dvd, then run a half a mile to 1.5 miles on the treadmil. I usually workout 5 days a week for 30-40 minutes and have been working out for years. Hope this helps.
