Gym Friendly? Do they fall off while squating, deadlifing or any other exercise where you might have to lower your head? Worth the extra +$150?

They actually stay and don't fall off, even when I ran (treadmill). The only problem I see is when you start sweating, and since these are not cheap headphones, I'm afraid to damage them, so I dont work out with them anymore. Overall, these are a great pair of headphones (wireless or otherwise)

As previously stated, these do stay on without issues but I would not wear them while exercising. Not only would you not want to bump them (especially with a metal barbell or something similar) but your ears would get a little hot and the Beats are not sweat resistant. I recommend you look elsewhere if you want headphone a for exercising. Bose makes a few sweat resistant earbuds that I recommend, Sennheiser has a sweat resistant earbud, and even Beats make similar earbuds though they weren't comfortable for me and their sound quality was lacking.

I have zero issues with them staying on. No problems with squats, dead-lifts, decline bench, running, or even burpees. Your ears do definitely get hot though. I just pop them off between sets and wipe the ear cups every now and then. Just takes a couple seconds and the sound is definitely worth the hassle.

Try the Powerbeats2. Sweat resistant, wireless, good sound, and much smaller and out of the way. These are not made for the gym. These are large and would get in the way of my workouts for sure, not to mention absorbing sweat in the ear cushions.

I workout every day in them and have no issue, I even shoot around on the basketball court in them.

The right side of my earbuds can fall out on a long workout but these are the best non-bar style headphones that I've used for staying in. One solution is to use the ear hooks off a pair of Freedom Spirits along with the wings. These things will never fall off with both.

I use them when I go for walks at the park and they are perfect, but, I believe that depending on what type of activity you are doing at the gym. I believe that they would not work very well in a activity where your head is moving all the time, the headphone would tend move.

I find they generally stay on my head when being bounced around, if you put them on right. I would probably pick earbuds over them if you're worried about them slipping off, though.

I would think they would stand up to reasonably vigorous workouts. I haven't tried it, but they stay comfortably but firmly on the head. While they're probably not designed specifically for that, could be used, I think.

Suitable, but if you're a heavy sweater, like when running long distance, these are vulnerable to the sweat. They will short out and won't work again. So either you have to meticulously wipe your head of sweat, or run the risk of killing them. I've not found a better unit overall for over the ear headsets to work out in. So I always treat the earpads with scotch guard to help make them more moisture resistant.

Lol it gets a lil sweaty but they stay pretty secure as long as u have them tucked behind ur ears well. B-). Ive used mine on the treadmill for about an hour n mine stood in place without any slipping and or falling off. Hope this helped.

I'd say no. 1. These won't stay on the way you want. (Especially if you're doing kicking drills etc.) They slip and you'll spend more time being annoyed and adjusting than training. 2. The material is cheap. I kept having to come up with new fixes for these. Now they just sit in my closet. Actually I might as well throw them out. 3. They're actually not that heavy. I've worn combat boots that were heavier.

I've run around on the treadmill with these and haven't had a problem, other than obviously getting a little sweaty. Yoga, totally. Running, as long as you you're not doing really high impact. Weight lifting, no problem. They seem to hold into your head pretty well as long as it isn't something too impacting.

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

My gym is in my garage, Ill see in a few minutes.... I went out and tried em out, and found that they work fine in that regard, as long as you cinch the Headband down slightly snug. My phone powers these plenty loud as well.

I would use the Ziks while using a rowing machine, but not while weight lifting.It is true that they are top heavy, but I use them while doing floor work, sit-ups for example, and haven't experienced a problem with them falling off.

I would not use them in the gym. Walking around, they are good. The headphones are snug but could fall off during rapid movements.Basically they were not meant for working out.

Yep. These are pretty great for exercising. I have been using them for about two years and one of the buds just now started to fade on me. For headphones this price and the sweat and wear that comes with working out with them, that isn't bad

I use the optional attachments that help secure the buds within the outer ear, and I've never had a problem with them falling off. I use them trail running and, though I don't make sudden movements, I do look all around me and not just straight ahead.

I think it depends on your shape. It seems to stay put when I walk around, but I think if I did a lot of reaching and squatting, it might ride up a bit. I think the ones with suspenders are made for that type of environment. But I might wait for an answer from some on who has tried it in your environment
