You can only use them to listen to the music or so, because they don't have a microphone. The ones I received are the original. They must be cheaper now because this model came out at least four years ago. The problem I'm having with them is that they cannot properly fit the ear hence they don't stay in the ear. You have to constantly adjust them. As you can see in the picture, the little white rubber part that goes in the ear is too short (no matter what size you take). I never use them. After these I had to get Bose.

These earplugs are crap all the way around! They suck. Son waste your time or money.

If you are using them with a recorder that has live audio out, they are a good monitor. They also make a nice spare headphone.

I wouldn't. Live music situations are usually quite loud, and you would have to turn these up as loud or louder to be able to hear much. If you were using them for a phone conversation, then 1) you'd need a good mic, and 2) you'd still have to have the volume up to compete with the music. It'd be like having a conversation with someone who's there with you: you have to shout over the music and they do, too, for you to be able to hear them.

Depends on how loud the person is. They are pretty good with blocking sound. I have to yell for my son to hear me if he's wearing them. Normal talk is pretty hard to hear.

No. The conversations may actually be more clear. They cancel out predictible background noise. I use them on the commuter bus on the way to work; they reduce the noise from the engine and the road, but if someone is talking on the bus I actually hear their conversation more clearly (no background engine or road noise to get in the way)-- not that I would want to. They are good for listening to music or whatever you have them plugged into, because you can hear the music more clearly without having to turn up the volume as much.

I honestly don't know as I got these for my son and he hasn't told me anything other than they work great to hear music on his Ipod. We got them so he could talk to his friends via skype but I don't know if he's used them or not. I'm sorry.

They're actually very accurate mics, in my opinion. In that low of a price range I think you'll find them to be better, however they are pretty susceptible to noise, whether it's from interference, wind (even just from moving them), or the rumbling of handling the unit while you're recording. If you use external mics you don't get the handling noise, but the wind can be protected against with a wind screen. Despite all that noise stuff, I'm very happy with the internal mics! You just have to be careful while handling the unit when it's recording with them.

Sure, they'll work, if all you want to do is listen through them. They don't have an inline microphone or controls, so if you want to use them on a call, you'll still have to raise the phone to your mouth in order for the other person to hear you.

No they will not, these headphones really are great in that aspect. The noise isolation is incredible. I have had multiple occasions where people have been trying to talk to me while I was using them, and I had no idea anyone was trying to talk to me. They told me they couldn't hear the music at all, but it was loud enough for me to not be able to tell anyone was talking to me.

I'm not sure. They are great and don't attract attention like the full head phones.

I use them with my iPad since they seem to have a decent microphone. My adult son says they sound fine and it keeps his side of the conversation on Skype private.

yes the mics are very good! I have had mine for half a year so far, no loss in quality. but keep the small one in a memorable place.p.s it would be a good idea to SEW the ear padding down, otherwise it will come off within 2 weeks. (that is literally the only problem, if you sew it early, you will never have to worry about the padding)better than the expensive turtle beach or other brands that I've tried, that's for sure!

I use these for gaming and don't have a problem communicating, as far as hearing myself, depends on how loud the game is really. At around medium volume Id say yea, you can hear yourself decently well. I haven't really paid much attention to this in the past so Im kinda guessing, Ill try it out tonight with special attention to this and give you an update. And just to add, these are amazing for gaming!

I have only used them in cordless microphones. They work well for my purposes.

Sorry, I've only used them once and they worked very well for me. I haven't had time to really see what they can do.

They dont work very well. I wouldnt recommend buying them after i have had the opportu ity to really put them to use...they suck!

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
