how are these for running?

In my honest opinion, I (being an avid runner / hiker) do not feel that any of the HBS series are good for actual jogging / running. I've owned the 700 and 730 myself. With this being pretty much the same design, the unit tends to bounce around and rotate a little around the neck. If you are willing to pay more, you might want to consider the Jay Bird X. I own those as well and prefer those for jogging / running. The HBS line is more of a everyday (walk / sit) kind of device.

I love this headset noice cancelation works like a champ and the mic works is better then the last version I have owned every version of the head set and when you run with this bluetokth doesnt get that much interference like the other ones.

I owned the HBS-800. Absolutely LOVE the headphones. I talk on the phone at work a lot, and use them for long calls. They work great for this, and for listening to music while moving about the house. BUT, for running they did not hold up in my case. I sweat quite a lot, so they get exposed to a lot of moisture. I didn't have a problem with them bouncing around, but after a small amount of running, they stopped working. They wouldn't power on. Upon further investigation, I noticed the unit had actually started to separate. Regretfully, I just tossed them in the trash after 1 year of ownership.

These are great for running. Good with sweat. I love these head phones for daily use. I recommend these.

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.

I don't really think they would be comfortable to run in. I thought about it, but decided not to because of their weight, and I also didn't want anything to happen to them. I'm not saying that they are heavy, but I would imagine they would be a bit cumbersome. But maybe that's just me - if you wouldn't mind something like this on your head when you run (I would mind), then you could probably do it. The cord is a bit long though, you would probably have to tie it around itself or something. They really are great headphones though. Hope this helps

yes, they have a good padded base with vents and they are very clear. good snug fit for running.

They're perfect for running but don't last long. Not very well made. I went through 2 pair in a month.

I can certainly attest to their comfort and durability - I run 25-35 miles a week and they work great for me...I've worn them up to 20 miles during my last marathon training plan and they don't get annoying. I think they sound fine, but I listen to my music really low so I may not be the best judge there!

They are indeed good headphones for listening and travelling, but I would not recommend them for running.

I use mine for cardio (DDR and running) and they stay on just fine. The only issue is that when you sweat a lot you have to dry your ears but other than that I love them. For weight lifting they also work fine. The only issue there would be when you lay down flat such as for doing bench press. They kinda move a bit so you have to fix them.

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.

Hi, I guess they are suitable for running. They come with various sizes of earplugs, and you can fix them around your ears. If they stay in place while swimming, I think they will stay in place while running, too.

I found them ideal for jogging because they don't have that "thump" that you hear when you wear earbuds. They also clamp down on your ears nicely to prevent the headphones from falling off.

These are intended for running so I'm not sure how how they'd work for hiking.

Microphone seems fine, I haven't had an issue with them. The wires are a bit thicker than iPhone wires, sturdier. They don't really bother me or are audible while I walk. I have run with these, as I prefer a much lighter earbuds for running. But otherwise these are probably my favorite I have owned to date.

If you run like a 70 year old lady then yeah you can wear these. If you want to get sweat all up in every little part of these semi cheap headphones go for it. I'd recommend the Shure E2's for running. I run about 8 miles every two days and they hold up to the torrents of sweat I put out. N.

Well, these actually have a special way of wearing for running, you'll find about it with the manual that comes in the box. They stay in your ears most of the time, but they could slip out with sweat, i'd recomend using a head band while exercising, hope this helped.
