Hey guys i've noticed that these are listed as being good for working out/exercise. Are these sweat resistant? I couldn't find anything listing this.

Just went on my first run with them. Just wiped the sweat off the ear cups. Also, plenty light enough for two miles, I didn't even know they were there (additionally, I did wear them slightly off of one ear to hear what was going on around me for safety). Hope that helps.

No they are NOT suitable for workouts. I went through two of these headphones each died from sweat and moisture. They would've been perfect if it was waterproof.

Yes they are very durable and sweat resistant. They sound great although I have no idea how the Yurbuds sound as I now only by these and have 4 pairs. One at work, one in my workout bag, one at home and one in my briefcase when traveling.

I have seen other people using these for running/working out. These are very comfortable in your ears for long hours. As long you clean them after working out, you should be fine. These are built to last a long time.

Scott,Although not conceived as a "sports" model, I wear these phones while exercising often. I have worn them hiking steep mountain trails (just returned today from Banff, Canada), spinning, kayak camping ... you name it! I have sweat with them on and even hiked in the rain with them on. No damage to the headphones. Mine fit tight in my ears without behind the ear supports. I have never had them fall out (except when the cord is snagged on a tree branch). If they fit you as well as me they should work well during exercise. BTW - The audio reproduction is outstanding.

I sweat a ton when working out and so far so good (used for a few weeks) - generally try to avoid sweating directly on the unit but I'm sure there's been at least a little bit of water exposure. Clip them to my shirt (where a shirt pocket would be) so a little inconvenient from that perspective since my workout shirts don't have a pocket or other obvious clipping point. Also need to reclip occasionally depending on the exercise... ie back exercises like rows or reverse butterflies where the chest butts up against the machineWas actually pretty surprised by the sound quality for a bluetooth device...

That is why I bought them but then started working 6 days a week and haven't used them regularly. When you have them on, your arms really sweat underneath them. I feel they will would work fine if you use them every day. I intend to test that theory starting next month!

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.

No they won't! Ultimately, that's what killed both pairs that I had. And a comment response from the company stated back to me that they were designed for sport use, but excessive sweat would damage them........and that's what happened. So far, the only headphones to stand the test of time for my excessive running/ sweating has been my apple ear pods.

I wear mine for working out and I just make sure I wipe them off after with alcohol free wet wipes and then dry them. Unless you sweat an unnatural amount you should be fine.

I use mine primarily under a helmet while riding one of my motorcycles and they stay in the ear prety well. Of course you have to insert them properly and have them seal in your ears. As for the sweat while working out. I guess that depends on how much you sweat in your ears. But I am sure they will take a moderate amount sweating.Hopes this helps.Rick G

If you don't sweat a ton, they will be great. If you are someone who does sweat a lot, plan on them going out. Mine stopped working a few days after the month warranty.

Hi Jehlen,These are good for wicking away sweat, also since fingers are in thin cloth, it gives protection from blisters too and super comfy. But they are not compression.

Yep. These are pretty great for exercising. I have been using them for about two years and one of the buds just now started to fade on me. For headphones this price and the sweat and wear that comes with working out with them, that isn't bad

They seem to be. I only wear them in the gym and I get pretty sweaty. Of course, I can't vouch for what your experience will be.

I've used them for mowing the lawn, they still work perfectly. Yes you can sweat in them, and use them to workout .

I occasionally use these to work out. They are decent if you want to use them for weight lifting or something else where you aren't moving very fast. I run in them occasionally but they do fall out a lot once I start to sweat.
