I want to use these headphones for running...I know the iPod headphones grip firmly in my ears...will these do the same?

I'm not a runner so it's hard for me to answer other then to say the fit is snug and I do use them at the gym on a spinning bike and on the eliptical machines. I have had them for a while now and still love them. Hope that helps.

I think there are better choices for workout earbuds but like the other user indicated, good fit with the membranes will make a big difference. I have used these mostly for quiet convenient use on airplanes or while riding in a car. My preference on the workouts and jogging would be the Klipsch upscale models as they also come with more options for the ear membranes and the likelihood of a good fit and quality sound reproduction I have found to be much better.

I believe that it depends mostly on you and especially your ear canals. The seals used in these headphones are not so different from the ones used in the other brands. As a matter of fact if you can find Sennheiser in-ear headphones - try them. Every pair of these AKG in-ear headphones comes with three sizes of the sealing membranes. In my case not even one of them was good enough to be able to provide a good seal. I had to ask a friend for one of his spare ones coming with his in-ears, and now I have no complaints. I do not run with my headphones regularly but they should be ok for that. The pros are that these in-ears are really lightweight but have in mind the mic with the volume controls - it can be moving in front of your face if you do not fasten the cable in some way.

Unfortunately, I have found that these headphones work GREAT for running and intense workouts ONLY if I prop it on top of my ponytail which is precisely located to hold the headset. I don't see how they stay on someone without a lot of hair. There's no way....

would love to answer you on this but I use an iPhone. I will say that Adidas is in the 'global' business, I would believe that they surely didn't make this product as a niche only 'Apple-like' piece! If you do get them, they will end up being your 'go-to' headphones. They actually stay IN your ears as opposed to the ear buds. I love mine so much I bought 3 pair

I use them for that reason. They stay on my head without sliding off and best of all they take a beating and keep playing the music. These are very very loud so be careful not to put your ipod or phone on the highest sound settings.

They work great with my iPhone 6, I use them running all the time. Stay in my ears perfectly. And you can stop, start, skip forward and back, change the volume, and talk on the phone.

After having them for a while, they are very good for running. But the trick is to have the stabilization tab set for your ears. I always have to readjust them for the perfect fit. As a matter of fact I just got through cutting grass and sweated pretty good. No problem with them staying in my ears. If you get them once you and play with them a while you will figure out what angle to put the stabilizer in for the perfect fit. You will also know when you got a good fit because they sound awsome! They are best I have had so far. I have LG730 and they always have a tendency to fall out after sweating, so I stopped wearing them for workouts. I think these are a good buy.

Yes they are. In fact, I have a 5th gen iPod Touch and the headphones work perfectly fine. They work as long as they fit, which should be in most devices. Good luck

I bought these for my daughter and she uses them with her iPod with no problems. She loves them!

I agree with Keith. I'm using them right now, these things are in my ears all the time. I'm not sure they'd be great for running, unless they were under a shirt, but for lifting they're fine. If you're up for the investment, I'd recommend these to anybody and everybody.

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

I usually have the same problem, but these ones work great!! stay in my ears. even when I accidentally tug on the cord a bit, they usually stay in. My favorite headphones for running I ever have had!

They are really good at staying in your ears. As an experiment, I did a 12 mile trail run with them, and they stayed firmly in place. I think the people who have trouble with them put them in the wrong ears, or do not properly adjust them for their ears.

Yes you can. Great sturdy headphones in fact. The only problem I am experiencing is that my ears get sweaty and have to take the headphones out wipe the ears and put them back in from time to time. I guess this is beacause they sit in the ears very tightly. Kind regards,Rafal

I haven't worn them for running but with the foam tips they really stay put. You can also wear them over your ears for a more secure fit. That being said these are not specifically designed for exercising so I don't know how they handle sweat. They sound fantastic though so I'd say it's worth a try.

Absolutely, yes! I have bought three pairs of so called "sports headphones" and none of them worked for my runs or workouts. They either kept falling out of my ears or they would work loose so they were just hanging on my ears - at which point I could still hear the music but no bass - so I felt that I was wasting all of my money trying to buy headphones I couldn't use. And then I got these and all my problems were solved. They sound great and are light, comfortable and snug. Highly recommened.

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.

No, if you are looking for headphones to run with headphones orverall isnt a wise choice. I would recommend running earphones or regular earphones.
