Are these useful for running?

They are adequate for running. However they are not half as durable as Sennheiser promises. Mine fell apart within a year, while I did not train that much. Instead I'd recommend Sony MDR-W08L. They wear definitely as good, don't move around. I wear them for over a year, 6-days a week training in very warm sweaty weather conditions. When I purchased them they were around $9, so I bought 6. One broke. To my surprise the price has suddenly gone up to $39,- However, I do not recommend the Sennheiser because of durability. It was no bad luck it fell apart. The design is definitely not durable. If it rusts everywhere and the rubber pieces fall apart then the design is flawed.

They are very useful for running. This is actually my second pair of these. Which is kind of a testiment that I would go back to the same exact pair. That is actually the reason I picked these up b/c the earbuds drove me insane. They will not fall off and they are also sweat resistant. I guess I didn't encounter the fact that they are not very durable I mean as long as you take care of them you will get a good year or two or more out of them. Hope this helps.

I'm in complete agreement with lack of durability. What I do now is use ordinary earbuds and Nexcare absolute waterproof tape to keep them in place. Works perfectly and I no longer search for the perfect runner's style headphones. Opens up choices anyway even if durability is still an issue.

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

I have used this product for about 4 years and only issue was losing the rubber ear caps. I have trained for many halfs and several marathons, will not go back to earbuds.

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.

No. They don't provide enough cushioning for running long distances but are excellent for walking on all types of terrain.

The only thing holding me back from saying these are as good for running as they are for cycling is that they're designed to fit best in cycling positions. They fit best in that position but would probably do very well with running, otherwise

You can but not recommended. I would suggest the powerbeats wireless headphones for running.

I don't know about running, but I use them for riding my bike and they barely move.

These should work for you. I use them while I run and I'm able to hear, as long as I don't crank up the volume too loud.

Only just now got around to seeing this! Man.No, these wouldn't be great for running. I mean, they're pretty lightweight, but they can fall off your ears relatively easily, especially with all the jostling. Earbuds are definitely better for that sort of thing.

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.

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.

Yes they work well for running as they are light and compact with a fairly thick cord that doesnt tangle.

It's funny you should ask that because I just did two grueling miles on the sandy beach here in Great Kills And the headphones helped keep me going delivering great sound with every step. So yes, you can definitely run with these

These are what i use for running. I feel certain they work with anything that has a headphone jack.

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running.Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

Depends on what your gonna do with them. Jog? No I would not advise that. I do know a good pair for jogging. But these are decently tight, but I'm female and have a small head.

I use them for running. They stay well but sound quality is not excellent. I use them for audiobooks

Yes, they are great. They stay in place and are comfortable for even the longest runs but remember running with any sound isolating earphones or headphones blocks out all surrounding noise which can be dangerous in cities and other areas where you should be alert.
