Is it sweat proof and good for using while running and exercising?

Yes and yes. I have been using the same pair for my workouts for about 2 years now without any damage. They work just as well as the first day I bought them. I'd give them a 10 in terms of durability, a 10 for their functionality, and a 6.5-7.0 for sound quality (they are for casual listening, not studio monitors).

Excellent in both aspects. I have used these for a 8 miles run and had no issues with the earbuds falling out. Also over time my sweat has not caused the earbuds to quit working and the rubber is easily removed for a simple cleaning.

You'll get the headphones sweaty if you're using it at the gym, they're unfortunately not sweat-proof.

They are definitely sweat proof. I've never tried them in water though. Best earphones I own, and i have tried them all.

I use them when I'm walking and riding my bike ... they're great. I think they'd be equally good for running, unless you sweat from your ear canals, lol. E.g., the pad is entirely inside your ear canal. The larger part that rests in the concave of your ear is hard plastic, not affected by sweat. The cables may gradually be affected by exposure to body moisture, but they can be detached and replaced.

Yes, they are very comfortable for running, and there is very little risk of it slipping off of your ears. The best part is...there is a lifetime warranty from sweat!

It will work without problem, however am still concern with the sweat proof aspect of the device since it will stop working until it dry out.

Haven't had any problems with sweat on the controls. What I love about them is that they don't let sweat get in the ears which was always a problem with others I used. I use these about 5 to 6 times a week for working out and have not had a problem so if it was an issue, I would have encountered it. Also the clip is worthless to me since the cable slides and then tugs, therefore I don't use it. Can't comment on the armband since I also don't use it.

Yes, its not 100% sweat proof but I ran when I run around 12 miles in the heat there was a little sweat on the phone at the end of my run and nothing significant, but way better than the neoprene. I would recommend it if you're trying to protect your phone. I use it every time I run and sweat wise it does its job.

I sweat a lot and have not had a problem with the headphones. They are pretty comfortable and definitely stay put for me.

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.

Yes! These are the best to use! I use them when I'm jogging\biking\even on the boat. They're not water proof but they withstand alot of sweat.

The product itself has not deteriorated from water or sweat during my use. Nor have I had problems with sweat getting into the phone itself. Keep it mind it does not provide any waterproofing of the phone (normally your sweat will not drip into the phone either) although it does make it more water resistant.

From personal experience, it is sweat proof. I even accidentally put it in a cup of iced tea once while I was driving :/. It did mess up and the buttons didn't work for a little bit, but after like 5 minutes of air drying it started working again. When I'm in the gym I typically clip it on my collar. The thing that I hate when I do this, is that the volume would change because it touches my skin. Hope this helps.

I guess it depends on how much you sweat, I have used it 4 times now, about 4-5 miles each time and not had any issues with sweat.

I bought this for my wife and she uses in a gym. She sweats, but not so much that the armband would be drenched. Keeps her phone dry for the 30-60 mins we're in the gym. She has yet to use it in the rain. She absolutely loves it.

I wouldn't recommend this version for activities where there is the potential for them to have a lot of sweat around. Bose makes a sport version that have better resistance to sweat. They do stay in the ear very well

I wouldnt say sweat free. It really doesnt keep anything cold either unless you have a sleeve for it.
