Is headset, sweat / waterproof?

I recently purchased these for my husband while he goes running. He loves them, and he hasn't had one problem with them quitting on him or anything because they got sweaty.

Sweat resistant? I've seen no problem with them when I work out. I do some pretty intense workouts too. Just don't let them get yanked out of your ear. Had to glue mine back together! Hahaaa

Yes. I wear both. They will slide between your head and headset.Fyi. I just had the back snap yesterday. I read somebody else had this happen. Not sure if I'm going to try to fix it or return them. Got to find the box. Little bummed.

This headphone is somewhat sweat resistant but if a person sweat too much then it seems to have problem

No. I think moisture and sweat would damage these headphones over a short amount of time.

I would imagine that the earphones would get clammy and uncomfortable, and I would be concerned about moisture getting inside the electronics - I don't think they are waterproof.

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.

I've had no problem with sweat affecting the usb or any other part of the headphones. These headphones have had a four to six month life cycle in my experience, and sweat may be a factor in that. Still for the price, I think that lifespan is pretty acceptable.

No. The are water resistant, not waterproof. X-1 makes waterproof headphones.

yes, they are sweat and water resistant and come with a Lifetime Warranty, so if anything happens you can use customer service.

I've run with it in light rain a few times and it has been fine, but I wouldn't call it waterproof. Ive been running in 90+ degree temps and sweat hasn't been an issue for me. There isn't a lip that folds over the device once it is in the pouch or anything so its open on top. Hope this helps!

My husband uses it just about daily when he swims laps. It is definitely waterproof. He has had problems in the past with this product but they seem to have been mostly with the connection point of the earbuds to the unit. The current unit and earbuds have been working well.

This does have a good clamping force and should stay on your head for most regular activities (not extreme). However, these are not in any way waterproof or even water resistant. Moreover, the materials will soak up any moisture and eventually start smelling and eventually for if the electronics do not go out first. You might want to try something like the plantronics backbeat fit for workouts.

I second UCLA's response. From it's construction, I definitely don't think it's waterproof, but I haven't had a problem with sweat, even during hour long runs in 85 degree weather.

I've been using mine for working out at a gym and I haven't had any malfunctions due to sweat. But the manual for these headphones say that sweat may cause damage to the internal parts. So I guess I've just been lucky ? . Hope this helps

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).

Sweating has not interfered with my set, but I wouldn't call them "waterproof".
