all the reviews i have seen are about wearing this to sleep. Does anyone know how well this headband works for when I am running?

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 don't run so that I could not say for sure. I use the headband when I am traveling on planes and it works well. I have worn out the original band and I purchased another plain one , split the back open and inserted the headsets. Works like a charm but the trick of the deal is the flat style headphones.

I also wear mine to sleep, but it is a snug fit and I do not see why you couldn't wear it for running. Kim

My experience has been varied. If I don;t have the device correctly placed, I will experience discomfort (pain) within an hour. If it is correctly placed, I can get several hours of wear. I have yet to precisely identify what is correct placement. Apparently, the tolerance envelope is very narrow. I make no attempt to use the device while sleeping, thinking that the body needs some downtime relief. My incontenance problem is minimal while sleeping

It stays on pretty good. I do not use it for the gym though. I wear them at work for pretty much 8 hours straight. To help you out though, i did just bend down a couple of and jumped in place, they stayed pretty good. they would stay better if that were bigger. Yes they are listed as over the ear but unless you have tiny ears, they are more like on-ear. But for what i use them for: range 5 stars comfy 5 stars sound 4.5 stars . Lets be real, they are $40 bluetooth headphones. lol

I have used it to bike in the early morning hours and it worked great. However, there is an orange band all the way around, which lights up and causes your pupils to close some. I will put some electrical tape over this ring before trying this again. I have never run with it, but think it would be work well. I love that it can be focused.

I wear mine at all times except when I'm sleeping. Have been doing so for at least 6 weeks with no problem.

Great, it has a soft band that goes around your head so it doesn't move when you are laying on a bench or have your head against something. It also stays in place while doing cardio; I wear it when I do Insanity and it never moves.

I have not worn this while sleeping. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance.

I use it while I am running, with the included wristband. It gets a little wet from sweat, but I am careful to take it off quickly after I am done. I have been using it like this since November 2014, with no problems. YMMV

The cord length is a bit short, and the headphone tends to warm the ears really fast. If you're a runner, I'd recommend getting earphones that hook behind your ears. These are good for walking.

Never tried, so far the longest I have worn it is 2 hrs while running. But if you are just monitoring you heart rate during normal activities I suppose. But I would get the upgraded strap, the one that comes with it is kind of thin and can irritate skin after awhile.

I had no issues with it sliding off my arm while running or cycling. Be warned though that any armband needs to be really tight around your arm to not slide around. Not cutting off your blood tight but pretty tight. My wife also has never had a problem with this armband sliding off her arm while running. I really like this armband and felt it worked really well.

I just have it on while playing golf however, I could imagine that wearing it while sleeping would be comfortable. I don't think it would be hot or sweaty at all while sleeping.

It's not over the head style. It's over the ear. And, as you can see from its picture, is not stereo. For me, the device stays snugly on my ear even when I bike. I have run with it on over short distances and it doesn't come loose or fall out. It's light enough and snug enough that I think it will be okay for a gym workout although I can't really say how it would hold up for an aerobics or dance class or any activity that requires jumping or acrobatic moves.

The neck ones suck for exercising. They stay in your ears-but the neck band rubs against your clothes and you pick up the sound. It's really annoying. I found them unlistenable. I only tried them because I've been forced into wearing hats when I run (skin issues). Try the Sony MDR-AS35. I ordered a pair of Sennheiser (Adidas) PX 685i. They are over the head. Have not tried them yet (still using my Sony pair). The look like they may be great. Barr Hill

I've had no issues with mine, the armband does what it advertises. I'd recommend it if you want it for working out or running. The side buttons all work when depressed too.

If you wear it more than 30 mins, your ear/head may hurt and get sweaty. It also depends on the size of your head (bigger the head, more pressure you feel). I found keeping the headphones at a max setting helps.
