Is this good for active sports and is this a sweat resistant? How is the sound quality compare with Yurbuds Ironman Inspire Pro?

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 think the sound is much better, the controls work good too. I train on my bike and in the gym and sweat a lot, but idk how water resistant they are. If you get some noise canceling tips that fit tight the bass is better though.

I bought these for my 15 year old daughter who is very active. She loves them. I'm sorry but I don't know if they are sweat resistant or not. I have never tried the other earbuds you mentioned so I cannot compare them. I had bought her a pair of cordless Sennheiser headphones. She did not like the fact that they were not Bluetooth and they were headphones and not earbuds. Her brother had a pair of Klipsch Image earbuds and he loved them, she tried his. We took the Sennheiser back. We are happy with the purchase. I hope this helps.

I would say yes but not for exercising. The are fairly large and they make you sweat if you are exercising around your head and ears. I prefer smaller buds for that. They sound excellent and are really comfortable, just not sure what on the go means to you.

The headphones are great and handle sweat, in terms of ruggedness (I haven't broken them so far... and I sweat a lot - 6 mile runs).In terms of usability, if sweat gets in between the headphones and the air seal you create with your ear, then you have to pull off the rubber cover and blow the moisture out of the tube (takes 30 seconds or less), otherwise the sound will be muffled.These are the best "cheap" workout headphones I have found. The next step up would be Zennheiser PMX 70. They are twice as expensive.

In my humble opinion, they have the best sound I have experienced so far with a waterresistant bluetooth headset. And they are first ones, which are reliable. All my other headsets did not last longer than 2 months. They could not handle sweat, water and rough conditions although they claimed to be sport or outdoor headsets.That's why I am so happy with this one.

Yep. It's one of the best headphones for fitness workouts. I love the sound and bass response. It really isolates the background noises. The only issue I have sometimes the cable can get in the way and the iPhone remote control is delicate. Be careful with the remote. I purchased a separate cable that was just for the Headphones from Polk. Polk customer support is really supportive with the headphones. You can't go wrong with their warranty.

Hi Sue. I wouldn't even bother buying these. The sound quality is pretty bad. I was going to use these while filming weddings so I could talk to my partner during the ceremony and reception but my testing proved these mics to be worthless. I would look for something of higher quality. As for your original question...I do not think they would hold up very well with sweat since they are cheap. Just in case you still wanted to buy it =] Hope this helped

Joe, maybe in the light rain. I used mine about 6 times working out. Said they were sweat resistant....whatever that means. They shorted out and they were kind enough to offer to replace them once, but with wanting something to workout in I spent the extra money on a brand that was made to workout in. If its just rain and not a lot and you don't sweat a lot you should be OK. If you do, then I would get a better pair. You really do get what you pay for in BT headsets.

Hi John, I bought these mainly for TV viewing when my wife wants quiet, the volume control was a big plus for me. They have good sound, great noise cancellation, but are pretty bulky. They are fine for working out , including rowing and elliptical, and lifting. I think they would be uncomfortable to run with, and probably would slosh around. Although they do have a snug yet comfortable fit. Hope this helps. Steve

I have a pair of PMX70s and I too wanted an upgrade. I made the mistake of getting the PMX680s which sound like crap--don't waste your money on the 680s! At this point, I'm going to try the PMX90s which are probably not the best for sweaty runners, but for $22 shipped I don't mind giving them a shot. Plus I have an extra set of non-foam pads from my HD25-1 IIs which I will retrofit onto the PMX90 drivers.

I can't speak to that for the long term, but let me tell you, I've tried them ALL. BluebudsX (160 dollars and useless for a variety of reasons, particular the whole "earlock" system, which is an awkward pain), the Motorola sport ones (never lasted more than a few months), Plantronics, you name it. I've been using these now for a couple of weeks, always in the gym, and I train hard, so I sweat heavy (hitting the bag, skipping rope, 5k four times a week, etc.). Not once have these ever disconnected or in any way cut out. As far as I'm concerned, right now, these are the best on the market.

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

Kevin. I use this for working out and I honestly can't think of better headphones. Now I am a fit guy but sweat like a beast. I play soccer with them on and they never ever come off. Sounds quality is a solid 8-9 out of 10. Comfort is 9. But the fact that they never fall out specially for guys that sweat makes these a must buy By the way I have used Bose and beats. Sound is highly comparable to Bose and same as beat

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 haven't used m mine for running, but I have for some intense house cleaning. The band doesn't slip and it's pretty good at moisture wicking, although it does need to be washed regularly. Which is totally easy. The headphones come out and go in super easily. The headphones do travel a little in the pockets, but I'm not sure if that would be a problem running or not. They stay put while I'm sleeping, they travel when the headband is slack. Not the highest quality sound, but u get plenty for the money u spend. I've seen other brands sell these for over $100 with the same sound quality just because u can sleep in then. How this helps, good luck! I love my tooks, hopefully u will to o

Yes, I have had these headphones just since May 29, 2014, but I take them to the gym everyday. I wear them for cardio on a machine that is like a cross country skiing machine where your arms and legs are moving simultaneously. They stay on fine-in fact the fit is snug but not too tight. I have also shot baskets with them on--not playing in a game--but just a shooting drill I do. No problems. They are not sweat resistant, but I try to wipe the rubber ear cuffs off after each time at the gym so the salt does not corrode them quickly.

Are you wearing it under water? Maybe sweat proof but, not water proof. They run great but, they don't last. These things are a dime a dozen, like most of them. Start out great but, kick out when you really need them. And, it doesn't matter how much you spend. I've spent anywhere from 30.00 to 150.00. I still got the same amount of life span out of each. Not one said water proof.

We are sure some customers have used them at the gym, but this model is not designed for that application. There is no sweat resistance on the headphones and the larger ear cushion material may wear down more quickly when exposed to sweat/moisture. Also, in some cases, the volume control and tracking buttons on the cable itself may malfunction if moisture gets inside the control box. For use at the gym, we have the SIE2i headphones (designed for iPhone only).
